In 2019 I took the CliftonStrengths assessment as part of a leadership program. It changed my mind about Personal development.
For years I used to get 360 feedback, then put a development plan based on my weaknesses. I used to be very stressed trying to fix what was wrong with me, and while making progress on certain aspects of my life, I never felt well, in addition, the feedback never changed.
After I received my report, I was amazed by how accurately it described me, what CliftonStrengths named as Talent themes, was exactly me. The great thing about it is I don't have to change them, I have to use them, invest in them, and further develop them. This literally changed my life. I learned how to use my Talent themes and turn them into strengths to achieve my goals, for two years, it worked very well, not only I achieved my goals on personal and career, but more importantly it improved my well-being. I also started to think differently about how to manage my relationships.
Throughout my life, I have been through different transformations.
I changed my career,
I lost more than 30 Kgs of my weight (and sustained for more 10 years).
I started riding horses in my late 20s.
I ran my first Marathon after 30 years of never being a sports person.
I learned how to swim to finish my first Olympic distance triathlon.
I learned new languages.
and still growing...
