strength focused business development
TRANSCRIPT
B.IN.B (BOUNDARIES IN BUSINESS)
INTRODUCTIONMy company is “i*C.A.N. Career
Coaching & Personal Branding.”
"The Job Inner-View" - a book addressing innovative approaches
adapting to many new challenges job seekers face today.
Published in 2013, I wrote the book primarily to provide readers with
contemporary job search strategies and networking skills to successfully
find jobs in our present economy.
PURPOSE BEHIND THE WORKSHOP
I began to notice that a majority of us generally fit into one of these three categories:
1) Someone in the infant stages of starting and developing their own business and having difficulty getting clients and obtaining the results they want.
2) Someone either running their own business, or with a partner, and having difficulty adjusting and operating business with a rapid increase and demand for
their services.
3) Someone currently in charge of an established and successful business over a longer period of time, yet works excessively and has difficulty balancing other areas
of their life ( family, health, hobbies, etc.)
WEEK 1: ASSESSING YOUR INDIVIDUAL STRENGTHS AND
TALENTS
WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS?
Cultivating strengths > Overcoming Weaknesses
Research conducted by Father of Strengths Psychology Donald Clifton and Gallup
Scientists over 40 years. Clifton StrengthsFinder Assessment translated in 20
languages and used in over 100 countries throughout the world.
STRENGTHS DEFINED
• According to the StrengthsFinder 2.0, the equation reads:
• Strengths = Talents x Investment
• Strengths: The ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance in something.
• Talents: A natural way of thinking, feeling, or behaving.
• Investment: Time spent practicing, developing your skills, and building your knowledge base.
Food for thought: “Why don’t more people capitalize on their strengths?”

strength
