Today we read pages 74 to 99 in StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath and covered the themes:

  • Consistency
  • Context
  • Deliberative
  • Developer
  • Discipline
  • Empathy

It is interesting how you can tune out things that don’t relate to you, or identify someone right off the bat if you know someone who typifies that theme.  None of these were in my top 5 on my report but I found bits in Developer for me that ring true.  Also seeing a couple people close to me in my personal life with dead on accuracy with a couple of the strength themes.

Real useable information in this book and certainly glad we chose to read this one!

Here’s to building on your strengths,

Today we continued our reading of StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath starting on page 30 (location 363 on Kindle) we are reading Part 2 Applying Your Strengths.

If you have taken your assessment this section discusses each of the different areas that are possible as strengths.  This assessment varies in a BIG was from DISC and other personality test, it really does give you your strengths!  Well worth the price of the book, just to get the test.  (If you purchased the book on your Kindle, amazon would have sent you your access code as an email immediately after the purchase, so check your email.)

If we didn’t get to your strength today, hang tight…

Although I was personally out of town and unable to make the call this morning, The Book Readers Club still met and read the first 12 pages of our new book,StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath.  Because I wasn’t on the call, the recording didn’t take place, but I have decided to just record the first 12 pages on my own as the narrator.  So although we don’t get to hear multiple voices and our discuss at the end, you get to make sure you stay up with us on the book.  Enjoy…

Glad to start another great book with you,

Today we read the fifth chapter of The Referral of a Lifetime: The Networking System That Produces Bottom-Line Results Every Day (The Ken Blanchard Series) by Tim Templeton.  (If you are following along in the paper version of the book, we read pages 57-78 this morning.)

On page 61, near the bottom, they give Highground a title of a “PERCEPTION CHANGER” I really like that title!  Additionally when they talk about making a service directory for other great business resources in the community I thought that was a genius idea.  If you don’t feel like you have a great network of professionals you can refer (and make a directory for) I would highly recommend visiting a local BNI chapter and see the system of networking they have to offer.  You can learn more about BNI by visiting http://www.bni.com and search for a chapter near you.
Happy New Year my friends,

 My favorite part of this section was on page 40 when Highground talks about not trying to change the style of person (relational- relational or business-relational…) but to meet people where they are and help them be more of what they are!  LOVE THAT!!!
