Focus On Your Strengths – How to Develop Talents into Strengths – Coming 2017. Today, we pose the question to you, what are your top strengths? And how would you go about answering that question?
A lot of people find this question challenging. It doesn’t have to be. What if you could identify your innate talents and develop them into strengths? And have fun while doing so.
We love talking all things strengths.

Let’s take you back to a time you were at school.
Imagine you were great at some subjects, let’s say you scored 90% on an English exam. However, you were not so great at other subjects, like math and you may have only achieved 40% on your exams.
Remember which subject your teacher would suggest you go home and study?
Now when you return home with that report card, your parents may have congratulated you on your great marks in English, however, which subject did they send you to your room to study?
Did you answer math?
If not, you may have been fortunate to have great teachers, great role model parents and a great support network around you. However, for most of us, we were advised to concentrate on our weaknesses, our lesser subjects, and our flaws.
Does this resonate with you?
It was suggested we would become more well rounded if we became good at everything.
However, if we continue to spend our time on our math; what would happen to our English, what happens to what we’re great at?
Chances are our English marks would begin to drop. So our math may improve to 50% or 60%, yet our English would start to drop to 80% or even 70%.
What does this mean… everyone begins to become average!
So the questions need to be asked:
What if we focused on what we’re great at?
What if we focused on what we do well, our talents?
We should focus on our English, our area of natural talent. In the same way, we learn how to language our talents and develop them into almighty strengths.
In other words, Focus On Our Strengths.
Believe we can, it’s really simple.
Now that doesn’t mean we ignore our math, our lesser strengths (aka weakness), it simply means we learn to utilize our strengths to enhance what we don’t do well.
Better still, we can form partnerships with others who have strengths we don’t have (yet). So we focus on our English and they focus on their math. The result, we begin to perform better and hey, we may just learn a little bit of math along the way. However, we don’t need to focus on it.
Perhaps you’re a high achiever or a strategic thinker. Do you build relationships through your positivity or your ability to understand another person’s perspective? We have members who are great at arranging and communicating or simply getting things started.
Maybe you’re great with new ideas or giving others significance, or love fixing things. Have you ever met someone with extreme focus and discipline? These are just some of the 34 talent themes Gallup ® and the StrengthsFinder ® have identified (in all of us).
So how do we do this?
Well CYC has interviewed over 34 coaches around the world on why it’s important to focus on your talents and how they’ve implemented strengths into their lives and how they help their clients do the same.
You too can learn all this from them.

So, have you heard of the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment tool? Our community uses this it to uncover and share our innate talents.
If not, the StrengthsFinder can be found on the Gallup website where you may discover your top 5 talent themes. Perhaps you’ve heard of Gallup, they manage the Gallup polls. They’re basically one of the biggest data and research companies in the world. Over 15 million people have completed the StrengthsFinder and over 450 US Fortune 500 companies use it also.

It’s a huge advantage if you’ve done the StrengthsFinder, however, it is not compulsory before completing the Udemy course. However, you may find along the way you wish to uncover your top 5, the suspense can get the better of us. LOL
Looking forward to sharing your strengths in our community. So remember to:
Focus on your strengths!
