Tools to Help You Identify Your Strengths
Tools to Help You Identify Your Strengths
There are numerous tools that you can use to help you understand yourself better, assist you in getting to know your own strengths, and help you know what first steps you need to take to choose your road to success. I use many of these in A Pilgrimage to Self Lifestyle Coaching Membership:
- 16 Personalities – This website offers some free and paid online tests to help you learn your personality better. It’s based on the work of Jung and Myers personality types. The test is designed to give insight into your own natural abilities and skills. Be as honest as you are capable of being when taking the test. There are no wrong answers. Be truthful.
- Truity.com – Also based on Myers Briggs, this personality test has a free version, too. It focuses on finding your four-letter personality type so that you can understand how you work with yourself and others.
- Sharecare.com – Your health is an important part of being successful. Take these health assessments to find out where you stand in terms of your age, risks, and more. Staying healthy gives you more time to choose your success.
- Gallup Strengths Center – Gallup strength finder has been around more than 50 years. They’re experts at helping you discover your strengths because they created the idea in the first place.
- Read a Book – There are several books about finding your strengths and the advantages of doing so. A book like StandOut 2.0: Assess Your Strengths, Find Your Edge, Win at Work by Marcus Buckingham can help you find your way.
- Find a Life Coach – Sometimes you may need some outside help finding your strengths with a non-biased, well-trained person such as a life or business coach. As a Life Coach, I help clients discover their strengths, purpose, and direction for living an Intentional Life. There are two ways to work with me: 1:1 private coaching program and A Pilgrimage to Self monthly online membership for personal development. The annual membership is available for $1 a day...less than the cost of a fancy coffee...Start your personal journey here with A Pilgrimage to Self
- Get a Mentor – Seek out a mentor who will help you determine and improve upon your strengths. Remember, mentors are not strangers that you ask. They are people who are ahead of you in the career (or personal) track that you want to be on and know your potential. You can emulate their success process.
- Your Community – Check with your local college or university to find out if they have career or personal development centers. Often they’ll have guest speakers or other programs to help you learn your strengths.
Using these tools to help you determine your strengths will go far in helping you know how to leverage your strengths to choose the type of success you want to experience in your life. That’s right, you really do choose to be successful and choose what you’ll be successful doing if you know how to leverage your skills and strengths.
Following the PATHS to living an Intentional Life starts with YOU...I have created the PATHS that will help you discover, design, and develop YOUR best life. It's time to take a quantum leap to live the life you are meant to live. Join A Pilgrimage to Self Lifestyle Coaching Membership and begin your personal journey...START HERE on YOUR Personal Journey
Until next time...
