Overview
In this episode, I’m joined by Maghan Haggerty, founder of Connecting Dots Coaching & Consulting and a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach. I wanted to have Maghan on the show to share her wisdom on the importance of tapping into your strengths to help you find more work fulfillment. One of Sustainable Ambition's pillars is Right Success, which is about defining success on your terms and defining your own personal reward. I believe a key component of that is leaning into your strengths, especially those that put you into flow.
So, you'll hear in my early interviewing days that I'm very CURIOUS about what Maghan has to share! She talks about the importance of leaning into one’s strengths, how to define them (they are the activities not just that we are good at, but that we have an affinity for), as well as how our strengths can at times turn into weaknesses. We talk about Gallup's CliftonStrengths Assessment, which Maghan is certified in administering, and how the philosophy is such that the strengths can be applied to any profession, because they are about how we interact in the world.
Another important theme you hear us talk about throughout the episode is PAY ATTENTION! If there's one thing to take away, that is it. Don’t go blindly through your career. Pay attention.
I hope in listening to Maghan you get convinced of the importance of investing in identifying your strengths, and even more importantly working to determine how to bring them into your everyday life experiences.
