Over the last two days, I’ve had the opportunity to understand my own strengths and how I can use them to achieve my goals.
As someone who always focuses on my development areas, ignoring my strengths as I feel uncomfortable naming them or talking about them, my Strengthscope report has been a lightbulb moment for me. I’ve realised that often my development areas are simply my strengths in overdrive and that I have a range of other strengths to help me dial down when some strengths go into overdrive. I’m now really happy to name them and think about how what’s naturally in me can help me succeed.
It’s also really helped me to reframe how I see my own development. From this point onwards, I will be focusing 80% of my time on maximising my strengths and 20% on managing my performance risks.
Plus as a Strengthscope practitioner, I will be able to help others with understanding how they can fulfil their own potential through using their natural strengths and energisers.
If you have never looked into strength based development then I would encourage you to do so as I know that the last two days have been game changing for me…
Thank you Paul M. for bringing me on the Strengthscope journey.
Escalate your Gratitude 💖
For much of my career my focus was on ensuring that the people in the business that I perceived as more important than me were “happy”. Whether it was a line manager, the founder of the business or a shareholder. When I started Visiting Angels in the UK I wanted to flip that script.
I had recognised through my time in social care that care workers are often overlooked and unfortunately regularly underestimated. We started Visiting Angels we had a clear vision to be carer centric – to put carers first. Our mission from the beginning has been to “redefine the role of carers in society”. We want everyone to better understand how awesome caregivers are and by everyone we also mean the carers themselves.
This video is from our annual conference and it is the highlight of my year. I have the perfect privilege of standing on stage in front of our entire network and sharing the gratitude that we have for the amazing individuals and teams who make our business work. We celebrate our franchisees, we celebrate their registered care managers and we recognise, applaud and show gratitude to the caregivers.
I have gone from seeking validation from my acts of service to a gratitude junkie needing his fix of giving thanks and showing love. Many of the carers that we recognise throughout the year or with our gala dinner have had little or no workplace recognition in the past. It is a humbling experience to see our franchisees and their managers right that wrong.
💥 How important is gratitude to you?
💥 Do you agree it is better to give than to receive?
In the spirit of the post thank you for reading and thank you for liking and sharing if you are able to do so. If you see a carer working in the next few days or weeks, please thank them for their service. When the snow falls or the wind blows or a pandemic strikes they will be out caring for others even while you may stay at home.
