In Episode 11 I suggested an exercise whereby you spend 10 minutes writing, or talking about your strengths - including personal, family, friends, community, even national.
In this quick video I take on the exercise myself. In no way did I prepare for this - it is a total ad lib! Check it out, hopefully you find it helpful; maybe even inspirational in some way.
Its me so of course there are a few segues into narrative during the 10 minutes. But I'm Ok with that and I think it's natural (for some people). I know that my style of expressing myself is narrative. For others, that won't be the case. It doesn't matter. How you express yourself is not the point. The point it just to remind yourself of the assets that you already have in your life, so that you hopefully improve your self-esteem and also to give you ideas if you are looking to make changes in your life.
Your strengths and passions are always going to be the best place to start if you are looking for new directions in life.
This exercise can also help bring into focus any skill-gaps you may have that are acting as hurdles to you achieving your goals.
Don't forget - there is no right or wrong answer, as long as it is honest and authentic. And regardless of how difficult you find this exercise - if you get to 3 minutes and run out of ideas, that is OK. But I suggest you keep going - try repeating the exercise as a 3rd party observer or from the perspective of a friend or colleague. Don't be too humble; in fact, you can leave humility at the door for this one. Just don't forget to switch it back on after you are done!
Hope everyone is having a great week. I'm finally getting my NBN installed today and I can't wait! 4g home broadband is terrible in my area!!
