Finding out what You were Born to Do: What are Your Strengths?

I recently completed training on a platform that lines up a person’s strengths with potential careers. Well, to check the platforms outcomes I took the survey. Now before I give you the skinny, let me give you something to consider. Some of our personality traits are with us for life. Years ago as a high school teacher, I had a student with various leadership qualities. There were times when as an 8^th grader, I felt she could have taken control of the class, had I let her. I recently had the opportunity to share an evening with her and some other students, and guess what? The characteristics she had then were apparent now.

Now, I just shared a story with you, didn’t I? In taking this survey, one of the character qualities that were identified was being a storyteller as well as a mentor. As I look back at my career as a teacher, it was a standard issue to get Mr. Rossitto to tell stories. If the students could get me off on that tangent, they might get through class without a new assignment or having to do some work. Things haven’t changed very much in that regard. Storytelling for me is a way to help myself and those I talk to, in order to relate to some direction we can both go together. I believe it to be an aid to the services I offer to my clients and makes the things I do a good fit. Going back to my school example, it also has weaknesses that can cause the strength to become a hindrance or obstacle for others and me.
