Strength or Weakness?

Hi Everyone,

What have you been up to?

I have been really busy in development mode!!! I have been working on my business, rather than in my business (as advised by Michael Gerber from E-Myth).

I have teamed up with a couple of people. We have been working hard on developing our website and creating a survey to send to business owners to understand their thoughts and feelings during this economic climate.

The site will be up in the next few days and I will post a link. It would really appreciate your support in the form of feedback.

This has been a very interesting process....Three strong willed persons working together, wanting to ensure a great product is created. It has been another great learning process for me.

If you heard about StrengthsFinder 2.0 http://www.strengthsfinder.com, you will know that it is an on line assessment created by Gallup. The results from the assessment give you your top 5 talents (your signature theme). These are the top 5 talents you were born with.

It is a great tool, all my clients when they start working with me, take the assessment and it really helps them to understand themselves better and they also have a recipe to help them accelerate their performance.

My top talent is Activator. This is someone who wants things done like yesterday!!! The Activator talent is all about action!!

Once you know your top 5 talents, the purpose is to develop them into strengths (through knowledge and skill).

My Activator is a great talent for moving things forward, but the flip side to this, is that I can be very impatient. Our greatest talents can be our greatest weakness, if we do not turn it into a strength. And I can especially see this coming to the forefront re the launching of the website!!

My top 5 talents are:

Activator - All about action
Relator -Enjoy close relationships with others. Enjoys working with friends to achieve their goals
Individualisation - Intrigued by the unique qualities in people
Achiever - Great deal of stamina and work hard
Focus - Prioritise then act

If you have taken the assessment, please share your top 5 talents.

Bye for now.

Gina
