Up-Close with Chin Teik: Discovering Your Strengths

  1. What's your definition of the word "strength"? 
  2. Do you know your top 3 strengths?
  3. Do you rely on other people to tell you your strengths? 
  4. Why is it important for you to know your own strengths? 

Please listen to understand my working definition of strength: High Passion + High Ability

It is important to know your strength because it is required in your personal Constancy of Purpose (why-where-how-what).  If you do not spend time to discover your strengths and rely on others whose definition, standard and blind spot may mistake your weakness into strength, then it will negatively impact your emotional/physical being. 

Working in a role with high ability & low passion will result in stress.
Working in a role with low passion & low ability is not going to make you a joyful & effective person - disengaged and de-motivated!

I will also explain the 70:20:5 rule and how it plays to my working definition of passion + ability.
