 Are you happy and engaged at your job? Are you using your best
strengths and developing them into your recognized core competencies? Does your boss praise you and recognize your work?
Building on your strengths is the most efficient way to move ahead in today's work world. But many people are just not experiencing the satisfaction and recognition they need. I am continually amazed that some of these key lessons remain
unheeded.
First, you need to have passion for what you do. Passion is that spark that ignites your soul. Your enthusiasm for life is directly affected by going to work each day at a job you love.
Next, add passion to developing some of your natural talents. Build on these strengths -- hone, nurture and excel – it's easy because it's an area in which you are already gifted. It's that bit of genius you have to offer the world.
Perfect your strengths into recognizable core competencies. This is how you build your career today, whether you're starting out, in midcareer, or at an executive level. No matter where you are you can always achieve greater satisfaction
and success in your life.
Building on your strengths, and developing a personal brand -- a professional identity so to speak -- is the most effective career management tool you can use today. (In fact this is the topic of my newest book, coming out in January
2005.)
Every one of us has a unique genius inside of us waiting to be revealed. If you tap into your innate strengths and talents you'll find that you excel much easier in the world of work. The job market is tough now, and companies are
offering fewer promotions, but there will always be opportunities for those who are recognized as having special talents and excelling at what they do.
When you are perceived to offer high value to a company or organization, you are the person that gets the promotions or that lands the dream job.
You must be savvy in your personal self-marketing and establish a career identity that focuses on delivering results in whatever job you do. Using your strengths, working in an area that you are passionate about, in an organization
that allows you to flourish, is the key to happiness.
No one can do this for you. It is your responsibility to manage your career so that you are happy in your work. Maybe you need help making this change. Maybe you want a new job, or you've got an eye on a promotion. You must establish
your career identity in your resume, your cover letters, and clearly communicate it in an interview. Don't guess about how to do this -- get expert help. Read books, take classes, use audiotapes and CD resources. Invest in good career
counseling if you need to. Undertake whatever steps are necessary so you can achieve greater success by advancing your unique genius and gifts.
