WEAKNESSES

They’re a cringeworthy subject

People avoid them – BIG TIME

People react to weaknesses to protect themselves, their ego & reputation.

Focusing on highlighting peoples’ gaps, doesn’t add value to your RELATIONSHIP with your team.

Your value comes in the form of:

·       Co-creating options & opportunities to adapt how to approach people

·       Strength selections more suited to the person in the relationship

·       Holding the conversation, seeking out reasoning to understand them their why

·       Asking questions & more questions

·       Helping someone learn strengths to gain more results in your relationship

Leaders, it’s time to save your energy & share a new language.

I asked a client how their key STRENGTH of MODEST was championing their goal of building their executive leadership presence & relationships.

Their response & reasoning:

“Playing down what they were capable of doing – not wanting to overshadow their colleagues.”

Being REMOTE & behind the screen limits promoting your skills & networking.

Purposely selecting the STRENGTH of SELF-CONFIDENCE became the subject of our conversation.

Experimenting with your STRENGTHS takes RESILIENCE, the outcome & impact in your RELATIONSHIPS will be more effective rather than only hearing about your weaknesses.

Is there a STRENGTH that make a difference in your REMOTE RELATIONSHPS?
