Before you can begin to build on your strengths, you need to understand how you think about your strengths in the context of yourself. What is your purpose? No, you’re not meant to answer with something about your industry or title. What is the driving force in your life that has led you to this position? Do you find joy from helping others? Do you want to create a stable life for your family? Do you dream of creating a product that will benefit the planet?
Identifying your purpose is going to take time and self reflection, but it’s a necessary step on your journey to develop your strengths. With this knowledge present in the back of your mind, you can identify your natural strengths — and learned ones — and nurture them to fit your end goal.
