Frozen Talents

Strengths on Steroids

Talents Intensified

• Talents denied or “Frozen Assets” — Gender Based • Female — Command, Competition

Self-Assurance & sometimes Significance • Male — Empathy, Connectedness, Harmony

& sometimes Positivity or Woo — Cultural — Personal

• Seriously Overdone Strengths (S.O.S.)• Multiple talents super intensified• One talent used almost to the exclusion of all others• Typically done to fill a perceived ‘hole’ or cover socially induced deficiencies• Stabilizers more susceptible to this condition than others

page 9

Where do we go from here?

Potential Uses of Talents• Understanding ourselves & others — Awareness — Empathy — Motivation — Acceptance• Relationship repair & management• Problem solving• Team creating & building — Individualization

How to Build Your Talents• Know Your Talents — Be aware of them & ensure your talents work for you rather than against you

• Show Your Talents — Self-select in areas of your talents at work at home & in the community — Maximize the time you spend in your talents each day

• Grow Your Talents — Take classes/courses in area of talents — Refine your talents using your talents

Things to Remember• Talents may explain bad behavior but they are never an excuse for it• To become strengths, talents must be developed• Talents are relative & affect each other — your combination creates the unique you• Generalities can be tricky• People working in their talents feel less stress, are more productive at work & home — and are happier & heathlier!

Empower vs “In-Power”

• Empower — the giving of power• In-Power — the power within

The Secret to Your SuccessYour talents are already inside you — It is your RESPONSIBILITY to Know, Show, & Grow your

talents into strengths!
