Discover your inner superhero through the transformative power of the StrengthsFinder assessment. Join Jaquita and me as we reveal how uncovering our unique strengths has not only reshaped our careers but also boosted our confidence in the professional realm. By focusing on what we naturally excel at, rather than harping on weaknesses, we explore how this mindset shift leads to more fulfilling work experiences.
In a candid comparison, Jaquita and I share our top strengths, painting a vivid picture of our personalities and how they manifest in our work and interactions. From my strategic outlook to her infectious positivity, we discuss the surprises and revelations we've encountered along our journey of self-discovery. These insights illustrate how embracing our strengths, like Woo and Connectedness, influence not only our professional paths but also our self-perception and relationships.
With strengths come responsibilities and potential pitfalls—concepts we navigate with care. Our conversation delves into the dual nature of strengths, like positivity and woo, highlighting the importance of using them ethically and authentically. Reflecting on personal anecdotes, we emphasize the need for self-awareness and balance, urging listeners to honor their unique abilities and approach personal growth with a superhero mindset. Ready to tap into your own potential? Tune in and transform the way you perceive your strengths.

Send us a text Eric Ballentine, Executive Director of Streets Ministries in Memphis, shares his journey through fatherhood, marriage, and ministry as someone who "jumped off the porch" at age 12 before finding his faith at 25.
