Strength Reminders: A Case Study

Tom Rath’s “Strengths Finder 2.0” on-line assessment identified that my top five strengths are: Strategic, Focus, Futuristic, Significance, and Learner. I see the Strength Finder Assessment as a great opportunity to get to know my personal strengths and it motivates me to work and practice my talents rather than trying to fix my weaknesses. Looking only at my strengths is a new type of skills-building which allows me to stay focus on my talents.

I wanted to know how often this is used and comes into play. Jenn explained how the strengths based is one of the methods she uses frequently, depending on the situation and the client.

“Human potential is tied to the notion that people have untapped, undetermined reservoirs of mental, physical, emotional, social and spiritual abilities that can be expressed” (Corliss, 2006. pg. 106). Strength based frame work identifies those reservoirs.

StrengthsFinder and StrengthsQuest empowered me to discover my five greatest talents that I can develop into strengths to help promote success in the SPS program. Until Strategies for Success I viewed many of my strengths as weaknesses needing improvement rather than natural talents that can be developed into my greatest strengths. “Qualities that they’d been forever teased about or criticized for were seen from a different angle—as their greatest talents and their potential for strengths” (Clifton, 2006, p. 73). StrengthsQuest empowers students to not only discover their greatest talents, but to focus on and work on their talents and develop them into strengths to produce excellence.

Strength 1: Attachment—being a friend with your child. The most significant gift parents can offer their children is the gift of attachment, the capability to form and maintain a healthy emotional connection with another person. As a young child, I was immature. Although I often made my mother overwhelming and dumbfounding, my mother never gave up her love to me.
