How to Overcome Anything - Strengths

A Message from Noelyne...

In my experience people will always be picked up for the things they didn't do well, the mistakes, the errors and the weaknesses?

Most employees will find out fairly soon when they have done something wrong or not come up to the standard required.

Many people focus on their weaknesses and what's wrong with their skills and ability.  This means you are constantly focusing on the negatives, the areas for improvement, the missings.

When was the last time you were given praise for a job well done or complimented for a task that you achieved?  When was the last time you received feedback on the activities that you are really good at?  It's recognised that Manager's in general fear giving feedback and are reluctant to do it for many reasons such as dealing with advserse reactions or maybe a lack of confidence.

You may be in some of the 30% of people who are lucky enough to have people around them who do give praise and feedback on both good and poor performance.  If you are not then this message is made for you.

From now on I encourage you to:

• Focus on your strengths.  Make a list of what you are good at, all your talents and abilities.  Give yourself a pat on the back for all the things you have done well in your life.

• Keep a success diary each week so that you can refer to it as a confidence booster.

• Develop the strengths that you already have.  Do what you are good at and like to do.  If you can find a job, career or business that uses your talents and abilities then you won't have to worry about the weaknesses, they will just disappear into insignificance.

Enjoy the process of life,
