last week I viewed a truly fascinating episode of Oprah featuring profession trainer as well as author Marcus Buckingham. The show complied with Marcus as he led a group of women who were dissatisfied with their tasks with an comprehensive “career intervention” seminar.

One of the huge lessons of the show was determining your strengths, defined as the things that make you feel your finest — organizing things, teaching, taking care of others, being creative, doing comprehensive paperwork, crunching numbers, etc. — as well as discovering a task in which you’re able to focus on your strengths as much as possible.

Business professional as well as bestselling author Marcus Buckingham has assisted millions of people reach new levels of success as well as happiness at work — including workers at Coca-Cola, space as well as Microsoft — with his radical “strengths training” approach. His essential to success is simple: stop costs so much time trying to repair your weaknesses. Instead, focus on what makes you special as well as unique. “A stamina is an activity that makes you feel strong,” he says. “If you want to understand what your stamina is, you’ve got to pay interest to exactly how you feel. It feels like focus. It feels like concentration. You feel invigorated. Energized.”
Career transitions…
The episode hit me difficult since like the women on the show I’ve been going with a transitional period with my career.
I haven’t felt great about my task at the literary company for numerous months, so I’ve chose to discover a new path.
Starting later this month, I’m going back to institution for the very first time in 10 years, yikes! I’ll be taking journalism classes as well as focusing on freelance writing. like many people, I’m a bit freaked out (aka scared) about the economy, however I couldn’t see myself being pleased in 5-10 years if I didn’t try to relocation myself ahead at work.
