Happen To Your Career - Meaningful Work, Career Change, Career Design, & Job Search Day 1: A Primer for Uncovering Your Signature Strengths
MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY KNOW THEIR STRENGTHS…
I hear them say things like “I learn fast” or “I’m good with people” but most people have not spent enough time or effort to truly understand what it is that they are great at or have the potential to be great at!
Maybe these are true, but these aren’t specific enough to really be what you are great at. What is it that makes you great with people, What is it specifically that you enjoy in the interaction with others, is it even the interaction at all, or maybe something else.
When I hear something as vague as “I’m good with people”, which I do in maybe 7 out of every 10 interviews with professionals, I immediately try to start digging to understand what they really actually mean.
It could be that they are great at: relating to others OR communicating with people OR helping people problem solve OR building relationships quickly OR about a million other possibilities.
What on earth do you really mean?
