Mentoring Exercise Six - Leveraging Your Strengths

22 Nov 2016 Mentoring Exercises

This exercise builds on a previous exercise, which was about identifying your strengths

Now we want to go one step further to see how you can leverage those strengths to benefit your career and the greater good.

For each strength, brainstorm all the different ways in which it might be useful at work.

Next brainstorm what transferrable skills you may have gained from having this strength - and which new skills you might pick up more easily as a consequence.

Let's go through an example together: let's say one of your strength is that you 'have a way with words', that you're good at expressing yourself.

This could be useful in marketing, sales, networking, relationship building, etc. You could break it down further and say in marketing, you could produce website content, social media posts, profiles for people and product descriptions, as well as blog posts and press releases.

The transferrable skills that you may have as a consequence could be a talent for linguistics, so you might be good at learning new languages, a talent for structuring thoughts and ideas and/or breaking complex matters down to simple terms, so you might be good at more logical pursuits... etc. 

Don't be shy, let your intuition help you find the answers.
