A video I just got finished watching (video in motivation tab) really intrigued my thoughts. This video really changed my way of thinking, and reminded of a lost characteristics I had when I was younger. The video helped me redirect my wavering thoughts I had about the direction in life I was going.
I am going to share with you a few things I feel are my strengths, and weaknesses are.
My strengths
I am very assertive when I feel the need to be. I have great room presence (thanks ma for staying on me about my posture) when I enter a room. If there is an escalated situation I react quickly to deescalate it. I remain professional, and calm in unpredictable moments. I immediately take over the situation to make things run smoother. I am a natural leader, and motivator.
Weakness
Public speaking, or reading it makes me nervous. If you need me to spell something you are out of luck because I suck at it. The subject of Writing/English is like a foreign language to me. I can read a book better backwards then I can forward.
Conclusion
I like when Marcus Buckingham stated “Focus on your strengths, and work on improving those”. I was always taught to focus on the weakness, and make them your strengths. Which made me think harder about my weakness. I have been giving special attention to my weaknesses to improve them; I still find that I suck at writing, and spelling. Yes, I have improved a “little”, but no way would you want me teaching the subject. By doing this I put what I was really good at to the side. The moral of this whole thing is whatever you are good at stick with it, and become the very best you can be at it. My Grandma use to say “Don’t be a Jack of all trades, because then you are a master at nothing". My goal is to master my Master’s program, and become the best I can be at being a leader, motivator, and mentor to future athletes.
