This webinar was presented by talent coach, Mark Myette (CGS\u201881,COM\u201883) on March 29, 2018. The following paragraphs sum main topics from the webinar to make it easier for our alumni & friends to get the resources they need to get ahead in their careers<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Mark is the principal of “What Are Your Gifts”<\/a> a program based in Atlanta, GA that helps you recognize and claim your strengths. This presentation will help you explore strengths-based career management and will give you action items for how to improve your working life.<\/p>\n

Step one<\/h2>\n

Begin by naming and identifying your individual world. How are you wired? What are your individual strengths and values? What is specific to your experience in the world? Strengths assessments, although never 100% accurate, are a good tool to use to clarify your strengths.<\/p>\n

Step two<\/h2>\n

Claim your strengths and assets and aim them towards your goals. You can begin claiming your assets with The Golden Circle exercise, which filters out your \u201cwhy\u201d from the list of strengths you\u2019ve identified.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step three<\/h2>\n

Lean into your strengths and apply them to the work you\u2019re passionate about. Use your \u201cwhy\u201d to help you identify how you can be effective in the workplace.<\/p>\n

Step four<\/h2>\n

Choose a vocation where your work and your passion(s) converge.<\/p>\n

Step five<\/h2>\n

Finally, continue to check your progress and measure your results with a commitment to improvement. It\u2019s expected and okay to feel disoriented about this process of discovery, but mistakes are encouraged and necessary for your growth.<\/p>\n
