I saw a headline in Yahoo! News about how Obama's choice of Biden for his running mate only emphasizes Obama's own weaknesses, and does nothing to highlight his strengths.I thought that was a pretty lame idea for an article.Obama is the candidate for change because he's new. And being new, he has a much shorter list of experience than the other guys. That means that we don't know what his streng

Interesting article at the BPS Research Digest Blog about therapy being more effective when therapists focus on their clients' strengths."They've found that getting psychologists to think about their clients' strengths for a few minutes before a therapy session is great for the quality of the therapist-client relationship and leads to improved recovery for the clients."It made me wonder if thinkin

This is a simple and popular interview question. Generally people answer it in two ways. There are people who simply state their strength like “I am Young, Dynamic, Intelligent, Smart & so on…”. Such answer is neither right nor wrong but does not help u in any way also.Secondly there are peoples who state their strengths and explain them how he can use his strength for the job and indu

Twice in the past week, I've had clients tell me about aspects of their presentations that they do because they're good at it. Not because it suits the audience's needs, or even that the audience particularly appreciates it.It's okay to do what you're good at and what you enjoy doing. After all, why give presentations if you're not having a good time?But keep in mind that, just because you are ski

It drives me crazy when I see marketers struggling with things that they just have no business even trying to do. We can’t all be experts at everything when it comes to marketing our products. Even I can’t do it all and believe me, I’ve tried. The key is to concentrate on the things that [...]

When applying for a new job, it can sometimes be difficult to explain a huge gap in employment, or lack of relevant employment, when all you have is your resume to do the talking. This is why it is recommended that you include a cover letter with your resume. But what can a cover letter do for you? It can give the prospective employer insight into who you are as a person, as well as why you want t

What are your strengths? Can you articulate them? Do you focus on them? I'm going to guess that you don't as much as you should-for two reasons. One is the psychological phenomenon of "positive" and "negative illusion". Research shows men have "positive illusion"-thinking they are smarter and more capable than they actually are. In contrast, women tend to have "negative illusion" which is the opposite. Therefore, we look at everything that we are doing wrong, as opposed to our strengths. The other reasons you probably don't focus on your strengths as much as you should is that Corporate America has rewarded people in the past for pointing out and working on weaknesses (or the PC term-"areas for improvement").Well, research shows it makes good business sense to focus on your strengths.

"Talent is only the starting point." -Irving Berlin, American Composer and Lyricist, Irving Berlin books and CDs//We all have natural and innate abilities to do some things better than others. Our genetics determine, to a certain degree, our predispositions and inclinations. We are endowed with gifts from birth that make us uniquely competent in ways that others are not. "Talent is only the starting point," as Berlin accurately points out, and it's up to us to develop our natural abilities into strengths, if we are to truly maximize our potential.People who learn how to develop their talents into strengths are the ones that tend to stand out. They are the star athletes, innovative scientists, popular artists and successful entrepreneurs. These exemplary performers understand the value

During my senior year at Greenville, the "powers that be" introduced a relatively new program that they wanted to start using the following year on campus.

One of the most of import things about being an Internet seller is knowing what your strengths and failings are. Believe it or not, we all can't be experts in everything. I certainly am not. So we necessitate to acknowledge where we may be lacking a spot and make our best to either minimise those failings or happen other ways to take advantage of them, while at the same clip focusing on our strengths. In this article, I am going to seek to explicate what I mean.I've been selling online for over five old age now. Still, I am not an expert at everything. There are many countries of Internet selling that I am not so great at. One of them is graphical design. It certainly doesn't assist when you are colour blind.

That framework includes: The capacity to be curious and puzzled The patience to investigate a company’s potential The ability to imagine what could go wrong with our decisions Creating a good fit between our investing style and our personality The capacity not to know The capacity for self-reflective awareness The ability to decenter Emotional discipline The capacity for optimal restraint The capacity to be curious and puzzled My reaction to the PR firm’s heads up on Leading Brands reflects the first requirement on my list of components for the good enough investor-to be curious and puzzled. Forget the accepted wisdom about curiosity’s effect on cats. Curiosity is part of what makes us human. But for most of us, it often falls prey to the general concerns of everyday life, particularly work. Our single-minded ways of seeing things and our unspoken theories about the world, while helping us fit into our surroundings, seem to have a way of keeping our creative puzzle

Mel over at Monday Morning Power has tagged me with the 5 Strengths/4 People meme. For Mel I'll do just about anything so here goes.Here’s how it’s done:“So, here’s the challenge: make a list of five strengths that you possess as a writer/artist. It’s not really bragging, it’s an honest assessment (forced upon you by this darn meme). Please resist the urge to enumerate your weaknesses, or even mention them in contrast to each strong point you list. Tag four other writers or artists whom you’d like to see share their strengths.”1. Sense of humor has to be my greatest strength. If you can't laugh at yourself and all the other silly things that happen in this thing called life, then you are doomed to being too serious. Look around! There is some funny stuff going on all the time.2. Love of life comes in second. We have such a short time (even if we live until 100). Stop and smell the roses along the way. It's the journey that's the most important, not the destination.

Most college football teams have played a little over half their games, but for NFL Draft purposes the "Draft" season is only one quarter complete. Let me explain, if you give two points to the season, one point to the bowl games and All-Star Games (i.e. Senior Bowl, Shrine Game) and another point to the NFL Scouting Combine and individual "Pro Day" workouts, then you could surmise that the season is only 1/4 over.So at the one-quarter spot, how does this draft stack up against last years draft and more importantly past drafts? It's to early to draw a whole lot of conclusion from last years draft, but we can speculate a little. Why not, if you follow the NFL Draft as I do do, then speculation is the name of the game.A few months ago I wrote a piece highlighting the talented juniors that a

Gearing up for a fight?: The President calls the compromise bill too costly, but Democratic leaders say they are determined to override his decision. More name-calling and childishness from the administration: This week, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced that he would reduce British presence in Iraq from 5,500 troops to 4,500 by Christmas. The Guardian reports today that Brown will cut “significantly more than the 1,000 announced yesterday” by next year. In response to the withdrawal announcement, the White House has decided to slander Britain. The Daily Telegraph reports today that a senior White House official has revoked Britain’s status of being “the closest Bush ally.“ Via Informed Comment, Georgetown University professor Colin Kahl predicts that “there will be 100-130K troops in Iraq when Bush leaves” and “30,000 - 70,000 US troops [are] likely to be in Iraq for many years.” Kahl attributes these gloomy numbers to the need for a s

Acie Law is the Atlanta Hawks point guard rookie. In his four seasons at Texas A&M University, Law scored 1,653 points and was credited with 540 assists. Nicknamed "Captain Clutch" for his ability to take over the game late.Strengths:Law’s mental game may be his greatest asset, as he possesses all those intangible qualities that great point guards enjoy. He makes his teammates better, understands spacing and passing lanes, and uses his body and feet well to finish around the rim.Law has developed an unbelievable reputation as a “clutch” performer, beginning with his game-winner against Texas. In his senior season, he hit a three-pointer to beat Kansas in Lawrence, and two simply unbelievable three point shots in a double-overtime loss to Texas (both threes extended the game an extra period). Law’s unafraid of the big shot, and seems to thrive when there’s a lot at stake.Weaknesses:Law needs to improve his consistency from the outside as a shooter to take a big step forward in

Leaders, pay your attention to this topic if you want to build strong empires! Have you been telling others what’s wrong with them? You are on the wrong way, I tell you. You never win with people. They just simply avoid you. Instead, you should help people to realize their strengths, to maximize their strengths and to be able to use their strengths in daily working life. By doing that, you and your organization will win. Here’s why. Pointing out strengths underlines people’s uniqueness: One research shows that every person is better than ten thousand other peoples at least at one thing. That thing may be in your job skills, your knowledge, your personalities, etc. Help people to discover that and you will make them feel unique. Oh, don’t forget to find yours, too. People are motivated in their areas of strengths: When you work in your areas of strengths (like composing music, accounting, consulting, etc.), you don’t need much external motivation,

The federal Reading First program has led to changes and improvements in reading instruction, but the U.S. Department of Education failed to guard against federal officials’ “mandating or directing states’ decisions about reading programs and assessments, which is prohibited by [law],” the Government Accountability Office says in a report released today.The long-awaited report on Reading First by the investigative arm of Congress substantiates the findings of a broad review of the reading initiative by the Education Department’s inspector general.Little new ground is plowed in the report in describing problems with the oversight of the $1 billion-a-year program authorized under the No Child Left Behind Act. It agrees with many of the conclusions outlined in six reports by the inspector general that have been released since last September. Those reports found that federal officials worked to influence the selection of reading programs used in participating schools, interferenc

The game of poker has several different variants that can be played. Understanding what hand you have and just how to play that hand is crucial to your winning the game. Though poker is predominantly a game of chance, and you are only as lucky as the hand you play, how you play that hand can make all the difference. For example, if you have a bad hand, but are able to bluff successfully, you were able to turn your projected bad luck into better luck. Below are the basic hand strengths in 5 hand poker games. Depending on the specific game there may even be some variations such as adding wild cards to the mix. In this case, the hand with the real cards will be higher than the same hand with the wild card. Here are the poker hand strengths from highest to lowest. Royal Flush. This hand has five cards of the same suit from the 10 up to the ace. Straight Flush. This hand has five cards of the same suit in numerical sequence. Four of A Kind. Here, four of the cards are all of th
