Strengths: How to apply them for greater career satisfaction. Part 2.
In our last blog exercise, you defined your top 3 strengths. In this article, I’ll show you how to begin applying them in your work, and one of the most valuable steps is to translate those strengths into roles. You can also think of roles as potential job titles.
For instance, I’ll translate a few strengths into roles:
Conceptualizing ideas: Artist, designer, planner, troubleshooter
Organizing: Coordinator, project manager, manager, director
Leadership: Manager, director, project manager
Conflict Resolution: Mediator, counselor, case manager
Making connections between disparate ideas: Researcher, troubleshooter, analyst
Counseling: Counselor, manager, coach, mentor, supporter
Promoting people and things: Marketer, sales person, recruiter, fundraiser, resume writer
See what we’re doing here? If you having trouble thinking of roles, go to a site like www.indeed.com and enter your skills and strengths keywords. Then see what job titles pop up.
Then tune into my next blog where I’ll provide you specifics into how to apply your strengths, and possibly potential roles, for greater career satisfaction.
