For the past 13 years I have been striving to maximize my strengths and help others do the same using Gallup’s StrengthsFinder now through Gateway Community Church, our church in Austin.
Here are some insights I have often shared:
Our strengths results should not limit what we do but help us focus on how we do it.
Five Signs of a Strength
- Rapid learning
- A glimpse of excellence
- Performance nears perfection
- Connects with your passions (intense satsifaction)
- Moments when you feel you are in the zone
To Move from a Talent to a Strength
- Discover/Uncover
- Affirm/Ask Others
- Celebrate/Identify
- Develop/Practice
- Apply
