It was interesting to think about my strengths in a different way.  I learned that to identify my strengths I needed to be specific and not general. Strength statements often start with the phrase, “I feel strong when…” or “I love it when…”

Some examples

  • I love it when an audience connects with my singing.
  • I feel strong when I solve someone’s technology problem.
  • I feel strong when the kids’ hockey team I’m coaching plays well.
  • I love it when a friend shares a memory with me. 

Write your own strength statements:

  • I love it when…
  • I feel strong when…
