Strengths like other strengths – they are friends – so if you think you only have one, you’ll have another.
Sometimes we use our strengths in overdrive. You might be familiar with this. It shows up as too organised, too attentive or too kind.
Think about what happens to you when your strengths are in overdrive mode. Do you get on people’s nerves, do you get taken advantage of (too kind is a perfect example)?
Good news is, actioning your strengths in overdrive doesn’t diminish life satisfaction – you can still be happy! The key is to learn to manage the overdrive and there are plenty of skills and strategies around this.
