    Finding Purpose

    in Your Work
    ep 2
    St
    Identify what
    You are
    Good At
    What are
    Your Professional Strengths?

    These are the unique abilities, skills,


    and talents that you bring to your
    workplace.
    They are the things you have become
    good at over time and also enjoy
    doing well.
    They can include technical skills
    specific to your job as well as soft
    skills like effective communication,
    problem-solving, or leadership.
    Why does it matter?

    When you use your natural talents or


    practiced skills you tend to engage
    more and at a deeper level with your
    work.

    Recognizing your technical skills and


    professional inclinations helps in
    creating a fulfilling work experience,
    even in less-than-ideal team
    environments.
    How do I Identify my
    Professional Strengths?
    Here are 5 effective techniques to
    uncover and define your professional
    strengths and preferences.
    These methods will help you
    understand which actions already
    provide you with an internal
    enjoyment.
    It's not just about long-term career
    goals; it's about making your current
    job meaningful.
    C are to give
    it a go?
    1 Plot the tasks you like
    with a Skills Map
    Instead of just thinking about tasks you
    handle with ease, create a 'skills map'.
    Draw a physical map or chart where you
    plot tasks and projects you've handled,
    rating them on a scale of enjoyment and
    ease.

    This visual approach offers


    a clearer understanding of
    where your strengths and
    preferences lie, making it
    easier to identify patterns
    and outliers.
    2 Role-Reversal
    Feedback Session
    Organize a feedback session with
    colleagues, but with a twist.
    Instead of just asking what they think you
    excel at, also ask them to describe a
    scenario where they imagine you as the
    leader or key player.

    This approach can reveal


    insights into how your
    colleagues perceive your
    capabilities and potential in
    different contexts.
    3 Analyze Past Feedback
    with Keyword Trends
    When reviewing past performance reviews or
    client feedback, don't just look for positives.
    Use a keyword analysis to identify
    frequently occurring words or phrases. Tools
    or apps that highlight word frequency can be
    utilized here.

    This method can uncover not


    just obvious strengths but
    also subtle skills and qualities
    that are consistently
    recognized by others.
    4 Do an Ideal Project
    Simulation
    Instead of just thinking about your ideal
    project, take it a step further by drafting a
    detailed project plan or proposal for it.
    Treat it as if this is a real project with
    significant impact to your current business.
    Perhaps ask a colleague to review it.

    This exercise forces you to


    delve into the specifics of
    what you enjoy and excel at,
    giving you a different
    understanding of your
    preferences.
    5 Do Insight Interviews
    with Friends and Family
    Go beyond casual conversations with friends
    and family.
    Conduct structured interviews where they
    provide examples of situations where they've
    seen you at your best or noticed you
    enjoying a task.

    This more formal approach


    can often lead to deeper,
    more thoughtful insights, as
    your personal circle reflects
    on your behaviors and
    preferences over time.
    How to Discover and
    Maintain Purpose at Work
    1. Understand how this adds to your Well-Being
    2. Identify your Core Professional Values
    3. Identify your Professional Strengths

    Everyone should feel personal worth


    and purpose in the work they do,
    even if it does not fully align with
    their broader professional or life
    purpose.
