08/03/22 • 30 min

In today’s episode, I am talking about the power of leveraging your strengths with guest expert Trudy Bateman, the Director of Strengths Profile.
Strengths profile is the tool that can help you understand how you can leverage your strengths to have optimal performance in the workplace.

What you will learn:

Preparing For Success- Success is about what we truly are motivated to enjoy, so we measure your energy, your strengths, and how you use it. If you're not using it, then we can help you or you can help yourself to start to use this a bit more. So performance is energy, energy is the magic, energy is life and it is the life force. This is where you will make a difference in your career.
Embracing Your Strengths - If everyone in the team knows what their strengths are then it's so much easier to make sure that you've got the right people doing the right roles and bringing the right energy and motivation to the work.
Understanding Your Uniqueness- It's the uniqueness that you need to be thinking about when you're transitioning at any point in your career.

Episode Highlights

· 01:45 - If you know, understand and can leverage your strengths in the work that you do, your level of fulfilment is going to go up as is the level of impact that you're able to make.

· 16:50 - Your uniqueness in terms of careers is fundamentally critical as to how you sell yourself, how you talk about yourself, and also how you decide on the right kind of career.

· 23:10 - If we can push and stretch ourselves in the areas of our strengths by trying those new careers, and pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zone in the areas of our strengths, then we’re going to have much more confidence and success.

# 187 - Stop Waiting For The Right Time, Create It

In today’s episode of the ‘Career Change Maker’ podcast, I am diving into why it is important to stop waiting for the right time to make a career move, and instead create it.

Episode Highlights

· 03:50 – In case you're not yet at the place of your choice then it means you're tolerating your current position while knowing that you don't want to be tolerating it.

· 06:00 – All of us have some basic needs, so when you don't have those things fulfilled then it is really hard for you to consider anything else.

· 08:00 – One of my clients took the opportunity and time to join my program and work through what she wanted in her career. She landed a new role within four weeks of being made redundant and the role was fully aligned with her values. Had she not started the process, likely that she would have just jumped into a very similar role once she took voluntary redundancy.

· 10:25 - There's a lot of introspection, research, and positioning that needs to happen for you to attract the right type of role. So in my program, I take people through the data method, which helps them to define exactly what they want to do.

· 12:15 - Take control of the things that you have control over, and if you know that you're not happy in your career, then let’s do something about it. It makes me so happy when I hear that my clients have got promoted, I feel so glad that I made this transition.

What you will learn:

I often hear from people who are not happy in their current role, who know that they feel undervalued in their role and that they are just going to wait until they feel more confident. However the waiting period is often ongoing and not productive.
If you're in a position where you know that you're not happy, why wait until there is a circumstance where you have to figure out the next move, and you're not going to have the headspace to think through what you want to do. So instead of saying, “I'm going to wait until later”, ask yourself, “What am I waiting for?” It makes more sense for you to pay attention to this now rather than putting it off till later.
If you have a valid reason for wanting to make a move, then it is important to pay attention to that right now. The reality is if you want to move into something new then it's not just about you jumping to another same role with another company, it's about you figuring out what you want to do in the long term and that takes time. There's a whole process that has to have for you to have clarity around what you want to do.
