7 Questions to Discover Your Strengths (And 11 Ideas to develop them)
Bryant Hall in his article, "how to strengthen your strengths", lists 7 questions you can ask yourself to discover your strengths
Don’t just answer these questions with the first thing that comes to mind. Spend time and dig deep into the answers to these questions.
You can invite the help of family and close friends in answering them. Here are the 7 questions:
1- What do I like about myself?
2- What do I enjoy doing?
3- What things do I do easily or naturally that seems difficult for other people?
4- What areas at work do I get my best results?
5- What do people always ask me to help them with?
6- What things do I do that make me feel the most engaged and energized?
7- What things do I do differently than others that make me stand out?
Nejc Slovnik in his article, "4 steps to identify your strengths and weaknesses" sheds more light on some of these questions. Read it here: https://nejcslovnik.com/blog/how-to-identify-your-strengths-and-weaknesses/
