Strategies for Building Personal Power - Find Your Strengths

What are our strengths?

Dr. Donald O. Clifton, a graduate student in the mid 1950's, started to look at the "hyper focus on deficits and disease" and wondered “What would happen if we actually studied what is right with people?” This question stimulated some profound research with Gallup that resulted in the late 1990's created an assessment called Clifton's StrengthsFinders. This instrument has been used by millions of people to discover and develop their talents.

Clifton's studies showed that "people who do have the opportunity to focus on their strengths every day are SIX times more likely to be engaged in their jobs and more than THREE times as likely to report having and excellent quality of life in general." (Source: StrengthsFinders 2.0) This research is profoundly impacting levels of engagement personally and professionally around the globe.

The more work I do, the more convinced I am that we needed to create a hyper focus on health, prosperity, hope, contributions and so many more strengths that we all can find in our lives and our world.

Let's spend this day finding our strengths.

All the best in health and wealth,
