A quotation from Colton, Charles Caleb:

«
This is the tax a man must pay to his virtues, — they hold up a torch to his vices, and render those frailties notorious in him which would have passed without observation in another.

5/5

I try to organize my life to increase the things that bring me energy, and minimize those that steal my energy. This idea comes from a book. I’ve written up some thoughts on the book, relevant to managers and non-manager’s alike.

I've put together a short post on how supervision agreements can help us to share power and work to each other's #strengths https://write.as/dyfrig/why-supervision-agreements-are-helpful

I will be more effective if I assume:
- I don’t have all the answers & probably don’t even know all the important questions.
- Sometimes I’m going to make mistakes / won’t know what to do / won’t be able to over-come obstacles.
- All of that is okay.
- It’s _not_ okay to ignore my limitations.
- It’s not only okay but also desirable to ask for help or to try to change.

Hi Fediverse, is the Clifton's Strengthsfinder Test worth paying for? I did one for free 5 years ago and I'm thinking whether to get an updated paid one.

@Bronwyn 🧵….
1 option to consider to motivate & teach him to read is to tap into his #interests & his #strengths instead of his limitations. Take a look at Howard Gardner’s work on multiple intelligences (MI). In traditional education we tend to judge kids through a very small lens (linguistic and mathematical.) There are many kinds of intelligence. … /1

#introductions time!

I'm Brandon. I spent the past decade living on a different continent & I'm now re-discovering life in the US (my family & I moved back recently). I've worked in IT, non-profit & ministry.

I love coaching to help people think strategically & would spend all of my time on this if I could. I like to focus on #strengths & helping people overcome their challenges.

I'm forever a #nerd & inspired deeply by Jesus but not keen on formal spaces that don't look anything like him.

Still being #unemployed for 2 years. I do need a job soon. I can't just take any job. I've done that once and #regretted it. There are certain jobs that I know will expose my one #weakness. I would rather work at one that shows my #strengths. Plus, I would rather work at one that is inclusive to #women of a certain age.

Spending more than 50% of time in #grinding activities instead of time working in our #strengths leads to disengagement. Ideal is 70% time in strengths, 30% grind. What if healthcare got this right? #fightburnout
