Leading With Your Strengths

SKILL The capacity to perform the fundamental steps of an activity. KNOWLEDGE What you know, either factually or through awareness gained by experience. TALENTS Naturally recurring patterns of thought, feeling, or behaviour that can be productively applied.

STRENGTH The ability to provide consistent, near-perfect performance in a specific activity.

LAST WORDS “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world.” - Marianne Williamson
