What Do The People You Know Have to Say About You?
By: Stephanie Peacocke
While
this may be the kind of question you'd rather avoid, I'd like to
suggest that you plow right through your discomfort and explore the
answer. It's one of the ways you can uncover aspects of yourself that
are compelling, unique and remarkable.
We all have natural
talents and developed strengths that serve us well in our work. When
we're out and about, looking for a new career, workplace, job or
freelance project, we need to be able to speak with ease about the
remarkable qualities we can bring to a new work experience. When we're
aware of our own compelling attributes, we are in the fortunate
position to design work and career experiences that take advantage of
our strengths while simultaneously replenishing our energy levels.
Here's a way to get started with your exploration of what the people you know have to say about you.
Ask them:
1.To tell you a story of a time they've seen you at your best.
2.To tell you what it is they really value and appreciate about you.
Give
them the freedom to use their own words, terms, and phrases. And here's
something really important for you to do: listen to what they have to
say. Listen openly; resist any urges to correct them, deny the facts as
they've stated them or interrupt with some other kind of protest.
Whether or not you believe your people are telling you about an
experience that reflects a quality worth celebrating, this is their
time to tell you what they value, appreciate, and admire about you.
Your
responsibility during these discussions is to a) listen, and b) take
notes regarding what they say so you can review them later.
Once
you collect all the responses, reflect on the examples you heard.
Consider what themes emerge? Dig a little deeper by reflecting on what
each experience cited was like for you. You may wish to use these three
questions as a guide:
What was the Challenge you faced? What Action did you take to address the challenge? What was the Result of your actions?
For
those of you who love acronyms, the three questions above help you
focus your examples on three relevant facts – the Challenge, your
Action, and the Result – CAR. This is a very simple, yet surprisingly
effective approach that can help you uncover some of your own
remarkable qualities. Once you know more about what it is you offer
that's compelling and unique you can use that information to design
career and work activities that make the most use of your talents,
replenish your energy, and contribute to heightened levels of career
satisfaction and fulfillment.
