Have you ever noticed that many bad things in life happen over and over again:
Going to work mechanically every day, doing the same content, always feeling that the motivation is insufficient;
feel that they do not have a skill, and have reached the professional "ceiling";
Prone to conflicts with colleagues, always not working smoothly........
For this reason, the whole person fell into incomparable internal friction and did not know where to go.
Recently, after reading the book "Advantage Lever", I realized that I have no motivation at work, lack of self-confidence, and bottlenecks in career development, etc., and the main problem is that we are not very clear about our strengths and talents.
The author of this book, Wang Yuting, has more than 10 years of professional training experience, is an international Gallup certified advantage trainer, the world's top 500 enterprises advantage lessons, and the founder of Yujian advantage.
In the past, after entering the workplace for 3 years, she found that she was less and less enthusiastic about her current work, had no sense of accomplishment, and was confused.
After her continuous exploration, she found that what she really loves is speaking, sharing and training.
The book "Advantage Lever" is the author Wang Yuting combined her personal experience to point out the direction of career development to us who are also in confusion.
The book gives 12 effective tools, many real cases and many practical methods to help us find our own way, find our own advantageous levers, exert greater effectiveness, and achieve a happier life.
So, how do we find our strengths?
First, we can ask ourselves the following 3 questions:
1. Is the job I am doing now a job I like?
2. Is the work I am doing now a job that I am good at?
3. Is the work I am doing now that I like and am good at?
After asking these 3 questions, if the answer is YES, congratulations on finding a job you like; If the answer is NO, maybe you haven't found a job you like, and the work you are doing may be necessary to do it for life.
However, don't worry, how to find what you are good at doing and work hard for it, the book has the answer.
It is said that interest is the best teacher.
When we do what we love and are good at, it will make it easier for us to get a sense of accomplishment and happiness.
The book tells us that before we find what we really like to do, we can try to do what we are good at.
One is to "make blood" for what you like, such as if you like to paint, then you can use your rest time to constantly improve your painting skills and continue to create, and maybe in a few years you will become a small accomplished painter.
You know, each of us has great potential in us, the potential in us, can bring positive results for ourselves, when you like something, love something, try bravely, don't easily deny yourself.
The second is to seize various opportunities and try to do what you like. The author Wang Yuting, once did not know what she liked, but she dared to seize all opportunities, through continuous trying, finally found what she really liked to do, and her mood became happy and full of achievement.
Remember, everyone has unique talents, everyone has unique strengths, and it's never too late to find what you're good at.
Find our strengths, and how can we show them?
Albert Einstein said, "A man's worth should be measured by what he contributes, not by what he achieves." “
If you only know to bury your head in hard work, even if you have good communication and expression skills, or data processing skills, the boss of the unit does not know at all, and after a long time, you will be particularly frustrated and do not feel your value.
In the workplace, communicate with leaders in a timely manner, take the initiative to show their advantages, let their advantages become resources and leverage, when you play your strengths, work performance will also be magnified 10 times.
The book shares a formula for us: talent X investment = advantage.
1. Work report: take the initiative to report the work content and progress of the week to the leader every Friday, email, telephone, face-to-face communication and other reporting methods.
2. Report content: There are work results as concise as possible, such as work tasks, work performance and results, work challenges, etc.
Make full use of the process of debriefing, show your strengths, and let yourself feel the value brought by the work.
Therefore, we may as well start with ourselves, to see, support and light up ourselves and others, and at that time, the advantages in us will make us shine.
Remember that there is a flower in each of our hearts, whether it is a bright crown or an ordinary flower, it is an irreplaceable beauty and unique.
I believe that after reading this book, you will find your own advantages and have more confidence to open your own grand blueprint.
