What Are Your Strengths And Weaknesses

What areas do I not necessarily excel at but am competent in when I communicate?

Communication for me of the verbal kind has never been a challenge, I love meeting new people, and I love talking with new people, I am a people person to say the least. My personality under pressure supersedes any negativity that is happening around me, I don’t believe that negative things should overcome the positive, and I see every situation in life as one with positivity. I am an excellent verbal communicator, especially in the work place. I must be, because I am a particular person when it comes to most things in life, not to say I am stubborn, unwilling or unable

I have created multiple PowerPoint presentations before. The most recent one was for Learning and Serving last semester. Creating PowerPoint is one of my favorite ways to do for any presentation that I give. I find it easy to use, and a good aid when giving a speech.

Personal strengths are abilities, talents, and characteristics that God has given us. Psalm 139:14 says, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well”. God has given everyone amazing characteristics that most people would describe them as. Even though most people don’t like talking about their own positive characteristics, we all have amazing gifts and talents. When I was talking to my friends, they gave me three characteristics that they see in me. The abilities that God has blessed me with are, a strong athlete, a good friend, and servant-hearted. I have thought about what these mean to me and I am going to describe each of them.

I must also confess that I have some weaknesses that can hinder me from being an effective communicator or listener. Some of the more pronounced weaknesses include relative lack of self-confidence, people pleaser, too patient and passive, and sometimes

When reflecting on myself as a communicator I see that there is much strength and weaknesses, but each one of these makes me into the person I am. My strengths encourage me to reach for my goals and dreams; they also allow me to be able to reach out to people through my words and push me to be a better individual. Many of my weaknesses though can have a tendency to bring me down as a communicator, but they also show me how I can work on myself, what I need to do to get stronger, and push harder towards being the best communicator I can be. The strengths and weaknesses in my life regarding to communication do not only focus on talking through speech, it goes deep into my life and my daily activities. Myself as a communicator affects my basketball career, personal relationships, education, future, and my walk with God.

In the self-evaluation of communication competency, I felt that my strengths were in Empathy, Commitment, Self-monitoring, and having a Wide Range of Behaviors. An example of Empathy being one of my strengths is that I am able to pick up and feel another person’s feelings and current situation as if I was experiencing them myself, particularly with my family members and closest friends. An example of Commitment being another strength is that I care deeply for others and their feelings, and the message being conveyed between us when we are communicating. I actively seek to better my communication skills by demonstrating thoughtfulness, sincerity, and compassion in order to better my relationships with others who I care about.

One type of communication is interpersonal, including in groups and face to face interactions. In every type of communication each person has both strengths and weaknesses. One of my strengths is I am good at starting conversations. On campus I work for SPiRiT, I work in the admissions office and help to give tours on weekdays and on event days on the weekends. Giving these tours I have to know how to talk to the students and their families. Also, when I am trying to befriend people if I want to I am good at finding conversation topics at picking up the conversation if it fades off. One of my interpersonal communication weaknesses is being able to put my opinion in. If I am in a big

Throughout this interview that was conducted with my brother I learned a lot of things about myself that I never knew before, which will certainly help me in the future when I will be applying for work or volunteer positions. According to my brother I have many strengths, skills, qualities, talents and things that I need to work on. During the interview with my brother he said that my strengths were hard working, considerate, easy-going, generous, responsible, patient, passionate, loyal, dependable and determined. I never knew I obtained half of the strengths he mentioned but when he did I was stunned that he thought all of this about me. I also notice that all of these strengths is important when applying to careers or volunteer work because a manager will want to hire someone that is hard working and

Through my personality and learning style I am able to identify a couple of personal strengths and weaknesses. My learning style is a combination of visual and auditory learning, so I am able to learn better with images as well as learning through discussions. Discussion helped me to identify one of my strengths as I am open-minded I am able to listen and see others perspectives on a topic. Whereas my personality shows my weakness as I am an introvert I do not tend to speak up on my ideas or thoughts in discussions.

My current strengths include; my honesty and passion towards my work. I have always been positive and confident regarding my aims and targets. Along with these, I am a good decision maker, due to which I can make right and quick decisions. Moreover, I have ability to motivate others and do team work. I am also a responsible person, when I make a target; I work day and night to achieve my goal.

My communication skills have been a great asset to both my personal and work life. It has strengthened my ability to work in harmony with co-workers and in group settings. Although I communicate quite effectively I do find myself to be more quiet in large group settings and dislike public speaking. My recent position in community nursing required me to take on multiple roles as an educator and helped me work on my public speaking skills.

I believe that life is a learning experience and being able to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses can help us become better individuals in anything we choose to do, whether it is positive abilities and skills that can help achieve our goals or negative personal areas that need improvement. Knowing yourself and what you can do, can help you recognize and overcome your weaknesses.

Another strength, is my use of Non-verbal communication. I emphasise tones, use gestures and eye contact. My colleagues have complemented me on my expressiveness and vocal inflections when communicating. It has also allowed me to communicate across cultural and language barriers when I find the situation challenging.

My strengths include not interrupting the speaker, maintaining eye contact to show I am actively listening, and being able to think critically about complex topics. Not interrupting a speaker and maintaining eye contact are skills I acquired early in my career to display my engagement and respect for the speaker. Understanding complex topics is something I continually learn how to do. This is aided by conceptualizing detailed knowledge and constantly learning more in the areas related to my field. My main weaknesses are the following. I don’t paraphrase the message to ensure I comprehend it. Typically, halfway through a presentation or meeting I have already formed my judgements of the speaker and the content. Often, I become distracted by a single point mentioned and am unable to identify all of a speaker’s main points. Now that I have identified my primary weaknesses, I can begin to improve upon them by altering my
