Aristotle said, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”
Knowing your strength is knowing you.
‘A strength is the ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance in a specific
activity.’* Strength combines natural talent, skill, knowledge, and experience. ‘Talents are
naturally recurring patterns of thought, feeling, or behavior that can be productively applied.’**
“What are your strengths?”
To answer this question, one must dig deeper into their self-awareness or take assistance from
a Strength assessment tool.
Many well-researched tools exist to assess the strengths, and a strength-based coaching
approach can help them develop further. Gallup Inc. did extensive work over a long period,
showing how our strengths relate to our motivation and burnout. Other popular tools than
Gallup’s Clifton Strength are VIA 24-character strength, High 5 Strength Test, etc.
