What are your core strengths? What do you really enjoy doing that seems more like play than work?

By discovering your key strengths and using them as much as you can in your career and volunteer activities, your work will give you significant energy rather than deplete energy.

Robin Ryan wrote in her blog to “Build a career on your strengths. You have natural talents that you were born with. These talents are the things you find easy to do. Maybe it’s teaching or writing. Maybe it’s designing, selling, or helping people. You have numerous strengths.

So, list all your talents, including things that others compliment you on. If you begin to use your mastered strengths on the job daily, you’ll move up faster, find better jobs, and be paid a higher salary as a result, so make using your innate talents the basis for any position you choose to go after.”

I agree with Robin that knowing our core strengths and using them is a key to enjoying our life more. I think it is so important that I offer a two-session package focusing on a person’s strengths. See “Strengths Profile” on my website or  go to http://summitviewcareercoaching.com/strengths-identification.html . This package is designed to give a person more confidence, direction, value for the employer to use during an interview preparation and on a resume.
