Leveraging Strengths
Shawn Byler
Learn to zero in on your strengths and systematize your non-strengths. In doing so, your career will unfold with ease, momentum and enjoyment.
Isn’t it amazing that with so many people on the planet we can each have a unique set of gifts and strengths. Certainly there are similarities between personalities and temperaments, but everyone possesses their own specific blend of genius, unique only to him or her.
Having a unique set of gifts and strengths provides a platform for each individual to fulfill a unique purpose personally and professionally. We are each an essential piece of an intricate puzzle. Leaders, executives, managers and support staff who choose to build their career around their “good stuff” become wildly successful.
Take Action! This week I challenge you to spend an hour determining where your strengths, talents, and gifts lie. Hint: They are connected to what makes your heart sing! Ask yourself the following questions:
- What am I really good at?
- What kinds of tasks or activities feel most effortless to me?
- What areas do others see me as the “go to” person?
- How do I really love to spend my time?
“Build your life around your gifts.”

Shawn, what a great reminder to focus on our strengths. So many people default to focusing on their weakness instead. Your blog is a great reminder for me to focus on my resilience this week!
