Strengths

Don’t Confuse Strengths and Weaknesses with Skills

If you're not good at something, is it a weakness? If you're good at something, is it a strength? No, it's not that simple.

Super Power

What is Your One-Liner Superpower?

At home, it helps me learn faster and turn insights into action. From a service standpoint, it helps me unleash the best in others.

I’ve been thinking of my life as a business. Without getting too carried away with the analogy - after all, life’s way more than business - it gives me a helpful frame, along with patterns and practices, to draw from. Rather than think of a business that makes money, I think of a business that creates value (the mark of an enduring business.) In this case, value for yourself and others.
