Key Challenge
The Discover Your Strengths (DYS) Program has had difficulties trying to increase attendance and awareness among university students and staff, affecting less than 2% of the student population on the best years that your program has experienced. Individuals who take the assessment find value on it, and they recommend their employees or students to take it. However, the key challenge of this campaign is to come up with recommendations that attract new students or professionals, who have to decide to participate on their own.

When I took my strengths test I was not necessarily shocked with what I received, more with what I did not receive. I thought for sure that I would have received positivity because people are always telling me how positive I am. Through learning about my strengths I have come to realize that all five of my strengths together may be the cause of my positive attitude, and all five of my strengths working together constantly are what people see. My strengths are restorative, communication, input, strategic, and achiever.
I currently hold the equivalent knowledge and expertise of an NVQ Level 2 qualification and feel I have equivalent expertise to what expectations would be deemed appropriate as of having experience myself.

What are your main strengths?Punctuality, adaptability, precision and organisation. These are the strengths I possess, and the qualities that I believe will allow me to excel in this field of work. I understand that being punctual is crucial when working in a warehouse and distribution setting. Arranging deliveries with couriers takes tight time keeping abilities, where forward-planning is key. I would describe myself as having a strong work ethic; I am enthusiastic and dedicated to put in the time and work that is necessary to achieve the task at hand. I also have a lot of motivation to succeed. As an example, during college four students and I were assigned to do a group presentation within a three week deadline. I assigned each of my partners
After receiving my results of the StrengthsFinder 2.0 test, I’m left to reflect upon my personality and analyze the accuracy of the test’s evaluation. Following are my strengths:
I was interested by the results discovered at the completion of the StrengthsFinder Survey. While I found the strengths listed surprising at first, after reading the descriptions I could see how they fit my personality and life experiences. I believe it will be a challenge learning how to utilize each individual strength into my life and career, but it will be worthwhile to take the things I’m already good at and use them to my advantage. My top 5 strengths were reported to be harmony, communication, responsibility, discipline, and consistency (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). I will work to integrate and utilize these strengths into my professional life.
After receiving the results of the strength finder assessment my initial reaction was a bit awkward. Considering the attached notice of how I should proceed with caution while viewing the results. Instantly, I felt as if I did something wrong while picking what describes myself. Unfortunately, more than a few of my strength finder responses were neutral, which made the results less personalized. Once relieved that there was no right nor wrong answer to fail the quiz. Gladly, I was then able to pay more attention and recognize that the five strengths populated for me were bold and meaningful terms that actually represents my life right now. My top five strengths are as follows. 1. Competition 2. Activator 3. Input 4. Strategic 5. Restorative.
Like most advising approaches, advisors typically focus on how they can help the student with meeting their needs and getting past difficult problems. This universal approach makes student’s feel supported, but an advisor should be able to motivate students to focus on what they are good at. By highlighting their strengths and helping them set goals, this allows students to persist, combat procrastination, and make detailed plans for their future (Fries, Grunschel, Schwinger & Steinmayr,
It's not uncommon for people to compare themselves with others around them, and to feel inferior, or even superior towards them based on their strengths and their weaknesses. The thing is, every individual is unique and we all function differently based on our personalities. It's important to understand yourself and to know your capacity. Your strengths are traits that you can use to push yourself further, and your weaknesses are the areas you need to improve on. It's not something you lack, it's something you need to develop or build. In order to take advantage of your strengths and improve on your weaknesses, you need to know what they are, which is why it's a good idea to take the Big Five Personality Test.
Nothing can prepare you for what this class has to offer, however, the only way I made it out alive was to leave the writer I thought I was in the past.

In the interview, i asked one of my friend a few questions about myself. the first one was what are my strengths. the answer to that was curiosity and humility. From this I was expecting one strength to be curiosity which tells me that I would enjoy travelling in the future and learning about new things. Although humility, i was not expecting that strength only because i never noticed that in me and i never thought that strength was one of the things people noticed most about me. this strength added another career option for me that involves me understanding others issues and putting myself in their shoes. One career suited for this would be a psychologist. my second question was what are my qualities, in which the reply was honest, understanding,
One of my strengths that I would like to see improvement is to become more open minded towards other cultures, opinion, and beliefs. The reality is that the process of being open minded takes time and sometimes is a difficult task to accomplish. However, I can say that I have tried to be opened minded when presented with certain situations. Presently, there is a gap from where I am to where I would like to be and that is to let it be and move on.
