FOCUS ON THESE STRENGTHS, Vlad

Remember, these four strengths make you stand out

I AM ADAPTABLE

You're excited by a degree of uncertainty. You're able to adapt to new ideas and don't like being too definite in your thinking.
Here are four ways to help you build on this strength
1
Adapt to the situation at hand
Some things are unpredictable at work. Try to adapt your behaviour to the situation at hand.
2
Believe in your own judgement
There are often many solutions to a problem. Choosing the best one is about believing in your own judgement.
3
Find a quiet space
Find a space where you can block out any distractions and be alone with your thoughts.
4
Take a break or change the scene

If you're struggling to come up with ideas, don't force it. Sometimes, taking a break or a change of scene will get the creative juices flowing.

I AM SOCIABLE

Social events are something you're naturally good at. You prefer being around people and you enjoy making new connections.
Here are four ways to help you build on this strength
1
Try to be concise
If you like to talk, be concise and make sure your main points don't get lost.
2
Find the right environment for you
You might find the office gets too quiet at times. Try relocating to a busier spot in the building or perhaps even to the local coffee shop during these moments.
3
Include others
Some people are too shy to volunteer their opinion. Make them feel included by asking what they think.
4
Take time to listen
Take time to really listen to what other people have to say. Avoid cutting them short.

I AM INNOVATIVE


You stand out for your original thinking. You're always looking to find a new angle — an idea that no one's tried before.
Here are four ways to help you build on this strength
1
Start with a simple idea
Try beginning a new project with just pencil and paper. Start from a simple idea and develop it.
2
Embrace the unfamiliar
Work in an unfamiliar environment, with unfamiliar people. This will continually refresh the way you think.
3
Brainstorm
Brainstorm and record your ideas, however terrible they may seem. Later on, edit them.
4
Pay attention to when you are most creative
Note the time of day, environments and situations where you produce your best ideas then deliberately set aside that time of day for idea generation.

I AM SUPPORTIVE

You're good at thinking about other people before yourself. You appreciate the support and ideas they can offer.
Here are four ways to help you build on this strength
1
Listen first
Hold back your opinion until you've made an effort to understand the other person's. Then you will be able to help them even more.
2
Strike the right balance
Try to strike a good balance between your own needs and other people's. Don't let one overtake the other.
3
Be prepared to focus on your own goals when you need to
We always have to make compromises, but sometimes you should focus on your own goals.
4
Ask for help when you need it
You cooperate well with others. So notice when you're struggling on your own, and reach out for help.
