More on Strengths...

HOW COULD YOUR STRENGTHS WORK AGAINST YOU IF YOU DON'T MANAGE THEM?

BELIEF:
You can be seen as judgmental towards others because you are so strong in your own beliefs and values.

EMPATHY:
You may become so overwhelmed with others’ problems that you do not take care of your own.

HARMONY:
You may disregard your own wants and needs in order for there to be harmony and agreement.

MAXIMIZER:
Being able to see the potential of people can lead to frustration in your life if they are not living up to their true abilities.

RESPONSIBILITY:
Because you don’t want to let people down, you may over-book yourself with commitments.
