About

Lots of people don't know their own strengths. Discovering, understanding and building on what you do well leads to better self-awareness and a greater sense of purpose. You must be able to demonstrate and even talk about your strengths in an honest and compelling way. This course includes a case study from the Cutting Edge team. Dion, an intern, considers himself a hot new prospect for the company but Michael tells him he's arrogant, snarky and a know-it-all. The interns are helped to recognize their strengths and surprise people with their research and knowledge. The interns learn more about themselves and their attitudes to work - and show how self-awareness is critical for improvement.

Don't oversell and don't play down your strengths. Talking about your strengths is a good beginning but you need to follow this up by demonstrating them in your work.

Use experience to shine;
Surprise people with knowledge;
Turn skills into strengths;
Grow through self-awareness;
Show genuine passion;
