steps of an activity.

KNOWLEDGE

feeling, or behaviour that can be

performance in a specific activity.

“A strength is an

activity that makes

you feel strong.”

- Marcus Buckingham

Your strengths are those activities that

make you feel strong.

Some activities make you feel weak,

bored or frustrated even though

you are quite good at them.

These are not your strengths.

Your Strengths Journey is just

Beginning…

start small

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear

is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our

darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to

be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you

not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world.”

- Marianne Williamson
