Clifton's Strengths And Weaknesses

A question was asked in class on last week after taking our Clifton’s strengths finder assessment. What did you find out about yourself, how are you using your strength and what can you do better to ensure that it is used to its full potential?
This was a very important assignment to me and it turned out to be very beneficial at this point in my life personally. I’m currently trying to figure out, what’s my next move and what are my true strengths and my true passion. Taking the assessment allowed me to have many questions answered that I’ve been wondering about. It even answered some that I haven’t had to face yet. The Clifton assessment revealed my Top Five strengths which are Communication, Competition, Deliberate, Woo and Achiever.
Communication

didn’t take me by surprise, I’m very aware that I’m pretty good at communication but I did find some areas I could improve in to make myself an even better communicator. When reading the book definition of Commutation it truly made me smile, I said to myself we are truly on to something. As a Communicator I want my information whether an idea, an event, a product’s features and benefits, a discovery, or a lesson to survive. I want to divert their attention toward me and then capture it, lock it in. I like to explain, to describe and to host. This is what drives me to hunt for the prefect phrase. I use this strength without even knowing it, but I was told by many of my coworkers and peers that this is something I should invest more of my time into. However, I do agree with the book but speaking in front of a large audience or writing will definitely be my areas of improvement. I can start putting myself out there more often to speak in front of larger audiences, practice makes perfect.
Competition keeps me alive in the workplace and at everything in life, this is who I am. Like all competitors, I need other people so that I am able to compare if I can compare, I can compete, and if I can compete, I can win. I live by this saying. I enjoy surrounding myself around other competitors because they invigorate me. I think I am using this strength at its full potential. I can’t explain it, but I am happy I can’t and it’s something within me.
