Andrew Thayyil Assignment 3.1: StrengthsFinder Reflection Write a brief descriptive summary of your top three strengths. My top three strengths are competition, futuristic, and harmony. Comepetition is a driving force in my life. I thrive on challenging myself and others to achieve excellence. Winning and outperforming my peers are essential motivators for me, and I take pride in my competitive spirit. I view the future with excitement and optimism. My ability to envision what lies ahead inspires me to set long term goals and work towards them diligently. I find great satisfaction in planning for a better future and enjoy sharing my vision with others. Harmony is a valuable strength that helps me create peaceful and cooperative environments. I prioritize minimizing conflicts and believe in collaboration. Do you feel these top three reflect your true strengths? Why or why not? I do agree these top three reflects my true strengths as my competitive nature, futuristic thinking, and emphasis on harmony are aspects of my behavior and personality which are consistent with how I engage with the world. Reflect on any additional strengths of yours that weren’t included in the StrengthsFinder results. In addition to the strengths listed on my StrengthsFinder results, I believe I also possess two notable strengths which are adaptability and effective communication. My adaptability helps me navigate change and uncertainty with ease. I can adjust to new circumstances, and this allows to me to remain resilient and resourceful which I believe makes me an asset in many different types of environments. I also believe I possess effective communication skills which is a crucial strength in not only the nursing field but in any aspect of daily living. I actively listen to others and articulate my thoughts clearly. Describe a specific situation in any of your clinicals where you thought your personal strengths were helpful in dealing with or resolving an issue. Which strengths helped you? During my most recent clinicals, there was a situation where my harmony strength proved beneficial. I remember one of the patients was very disgruntled and angry due to not getting any pain medications. He took his anger out to the nurse I was working with, to me, and any other nurse that entered his room including the charge nurse and manager. In this situation, I was able to assess this situation was putting a load of stress on my nurse, so I offered to help with the other patients, so the nurse didn’t get behind a lot of his tasks. I also noticed the nurse was starting to get very aggravated and angry as this patient was verbally harassing the nurse. I believe my sense of harmony was able to get my nurse back on track and help him to ensure all the patients under his responsibility were able to receive the best possible care.
