What is your genius?
Many people are all too aware of their weaknesses, but when you ask them to name their strengths, they can’t. Instead of focusing on their strengths, they spend their entire lives trying to overcome their weaknesses. They focus on what they’re not good at instead of tapping into their inherent strengths.
This shouldn’t be the case. Your strengths make you unique. They set you apart from everyone else. You have strengths and abilities that no one else has, and you can offer what no one else can.
When you know your strengths, you can leverage them, both in your career and in your personal life. You can focus on what you do best, ensuring that you’re consistently operating at peak performance.
When you’re doing things that align with your strengths, your confidence increases, you feel more passionate about your work, and you operate with a much greater sense of purpose.
When you know your strengths, you can:
- Focus on the things that will have the MOST impact on your life
- Contribute more value to those around you
- Make better decisions (since you know what to focus on)
- Achieve the best possible results day in and day out
- Reduce the amount of stress and anxiety you feel
- Delegate appropriate tasks to others
- Get help in areas where you are weak
- Succeed massively in your career
- Thrive in your personal life
On the flip side, when you don’t lean into your strengths, your performance suffers, your motivation falters, and your career and personal life will be hurt. When you’re focused on the things you’re not good at, both you and those around you lose out
For your most fulfilling life, it’s absolutely essential that you know and leverage your key strengths.
In his book, Strengths Finder 2.0, Tom Rath says:
Far too many people spend a lifetime headed in the wrong direction. They go not only from the cradle to the cubicle, but then to the casket, without uncovering their greatest talents and potential. This is why it’s essential not only to discover and develop your strengths as early as possible…
Of course, this raises the critical question: how do you identify your strengths?
If you’re like most people, you probably have some sense of your strengths. After all, most of us have a general sense of what we’re good at. But the truth is that most of us have many more strengths than we’re even aware of. We all have so much untapped potential. We have so much to offer the world if we just know where to look.
In this book, you’ll discover how to identify your key strengths so that you can give your best self to the world each day. We’ll help you unlock the latent potential that resides in you – the amazing strengths that are just waiting to be unleashed upon the world.
We’ll also show you how to develop those strengths even further.
