Discover your Strengths with Tom Rath and Gallup
I am seated here with this book that I feel has just become mine. After completing the assessment and creating the display on the front cover of the book, there was a sense of personalization that the book seemed to bring to me. At first I felt as if I was being anointed with new strengths because I have never really looked at myself as having the strengths that the assessment came up with. It’s really the first time I came across Gallup’s work, so I never took 1.0. Well, here are my top five:
Input
Futuristic
Achiever
Self-Assurance
Deliberative
I like it. It feels natural. I had looked over all the themes before I took the assessment and I initially thought that I would have different results. After completing the assessment and reading about my top five, I was like, “Hmm… This seems like me… I think they got it right”. I believe I still have the other strengths that I initially thought would be my top five but I’m not disappointed that they were not the top five. Great learning tool! Next step: NOW, focus on my STRENGTHS.

A friend once asked me, “Are you a spiritual teacher?” I replied, ”no”. He continued, “A philosopher?” I said, “no”. He asked, “A thought leader?” I replied, “no”. Then he asked, “An empowerment guru?” I said, ”no”. Exasperated, he demanded, “Then what are you?” Smiling, I answered, “I, am awake.”
Friends, we’ve been all sorts of things but not awake. The world is plunging into crisis yet we continue to snore in our cozy cubicles. It’s time to wake up and make a difference. It’s time to wake up and respond to the challenges of today’s society. I’ve been awakened by the need for empowered youth who can effectively handle today’s challenges.
