Strengths Attract Opportunities
- When your strengths show up regularly others spot opportunities that match them and bring them to you.
- Strengths act as portable anchors across projects and roles, increasing flow and career stability.
Be A Strengths Spotter
- Spot strength opportunities broadly: role, team, org, industry, side projects and volunteering.
- Start small and align side activities to increase frequency and energy from using strengths.
Job Craft With Concrete Proposals
- Job craft by listing what you want to be known for and rating current use; propose concrete small experiments to your manager.
- Create pull by offering realistic options, timelines and trade-offs so others can easily say yes.
