Strengths Project

General Summary: Establish the framework for the paper by introducing your Top 5 Strengths. Did you know these talents were Strengths in your life? How do these talents appear in your daily behaviors? What do your talents provide you with the platform to do?

Detailed Analysis: Consider each of your Top 5 Strengths separately as you reflect on the following prompts. Support your thoughts with the use of specific examples from the past or present, in conjunction with ideas about the future.

Choose a Strength you are already using in a sport, recreation, classroom, business, or volunteer setting. In your own words, explain what this talent means to you. Discuss the last time you used this talent.

Name a talent that you could use more often. What words or phrases from this Strength’s description resonate strongly with you, prompting you to want to apply it more? In what way could you intentionally start using this theme this week to help you be more successful in one of your current roles (student, employee, volunteer, teammate, etc.)?

Select another Strength that will help you achieve a goal you have for yourself. How can you use this talent to help you reach your goal? How can you practice using this talent this term in a sport or recreation setting?

Which dominant Strength can you leverage for professional success in the field of sport/recreation? How would it be beneficial in the job you selected this term?
