Focus On Your Strengths

My latest Memphis Daily News column is out, “Focus On Your Strengths.” In it, I discuss looking past your weaknesses to find your stregths.

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of sitting on a career panel about making the right career moves. In a packed room, we covered everything from preparing for a job interview to how office politics can influence promotions at work.

Just as the panel was about to wrap up, a young man stood up in the back of the room with a question. He asked, “If you could speak to your younger self, what advice would you give considering what you know now?”

His question was very insightful and has continued to come up numerous times since then, so I wanted to share my thoughts on this topic with you.

To read my entire article and learn how you can start focusing on your strengths, check out the Memphis Daily News here.
