Rising Tide LinkedIn Live: Strengths and Weaknesses

Identifying strengths and weaknesses at work is something we often do during a job interview, but how often do we actually dive deep into these traits once we’re on the job? In our latest episode of Rising Tides, we explored just that. From creativity and empathy to challenges with time management and self-criticism, our community shared their unique approaches to leveraging their strengths and tackling their weaknesses head-on. We delved into the power of knowing when to ask for help, the importance of setting boundaries, and ways to build on what you’re naturally good at. It was an honest conversation filled with insight on how to harness personal growth in the workplace

Key Takeaways & Quotes:

Understanding what your strengths are is a valuable tool

“I think I’m really good at solving problems. If I’m not given any sort of structure and rules, I can figure out a way to fix it. I can knock that out of the park” – Eric Farrell

Strengths can evolve and change over time

“I’ve really worked on not letting my empathy be what defines me. It’s a great part of me, but it’s not the whole, whole part of me. And it’ s not how I want to necessarily be seen; I want to be seen as someone that has feelings and emotions, but also can get the job done, to the best of my ability.” – Colleen Silk

Restructuring how we view a negative can change everything about our daily lives

“I’m going to flip the language into being a little more positive on that one. I think I put a lot of pressure on myself to try and achieve things too quick sometimes and that leads into one of my strengths which is i’ m pretty driven” – Scot Turner
