Why be aware of your strengths?

• To enhance confidence and self esteem.
• For a clear foundation to build on.
• A basis to decide your next career move.
• Deciding whether to play to strengths or address development needs
• An excessive emphasis on weaknesses pushes strengths into the background.
• Understanding what personal resources you have to draw on to solve problems
• Sometimes we are so blinded by a problem we overlook resources we have at our disposal to help us solve them.
  

Strengths as assets

• Strengths are great assets, but they aren't the whole story.
• They're not like mandatory professional qualifications.
• Not having them shouldn't stop you from achieving what you want.
• Can you cultivate the attitude that you can achieve anything you put your mind to regardless of your strengths and weaknesses?
• Strong motivation can often overcome even serious weaknesses.
• Determination to succeed could be your greatest strength.
