Your Strengths Map
Your Strengths Map module 1 | training 3
Finding a way to leverage your talents (what you like to do) and your character strengths (how you like to do things) at work is the secret to unlocking your zone of greatness and authentic leadership. To discover when you’re most likely to shine simply fill in the chart. 1
Complete the Gallup StrengthsFinder Survey at www.gallupstrengthscentre.com. Then list your top 5 Gallup StrengthsFinder talents in the blue circle. For example, Strategic, Learner, Maximizer, Achiever and Activator.
2
Complete the VIA Survey at www.viacharacter.org. Then list your top 5 VIA character strengths in the green circle. For example, Zest, Curiosity, Creativity, Hope and Gratitude.
3
Note down when your talents and character strengths come together in your work. These will be the times you're feeling engaged, energized and enjoying what you're doing - even if it's only briefly. They're often the moments you've lost all track of time but you come away feeling proud and satisfied about what you've just accomplished.
4
Put your map somewhere you can see it each day. Look for projects or work you can take on that allows you to use these strengths more in your work. Use it to help explain to your boss and colleagues where you perform at your best. Find small ways - even just 10 minutes - to do more of what you do best each day.
