I was very glad to have attended the Table Talk this week on how I can leverage my individual strengths to further my career and find my purpose in life. This event allowed me to do some much-needed self-reflection regarding what I am looking for in a job and how I can achieve the goals I have set for myself for the next year. I realize I have a strong desire to help others, which manifests itself by wanting to establish connections between people. Two ways I can do this are by bringing people together to form a community around a common interest or by fostering individual connections with others through education. If I am able to establish connections between people like this, I will be able to leverage my strengths of diligence, determination, and organization. One of my goals this year is to find an internship for the summer and because of this workshop, I feel like I have taken a big step toward that goal. It was also really nice getting to know more about the other people in the call, such as what their passions, strengths, and goals are. I still have a lot more self-reflection to do, but I feel much more confident in my ability to communicate and identify my strengths in a professional setting now.
I share your strong desire to help others, and it is great to hear that this workshop helped you to concretize your “superpower” and helped you understand your position moving forward. The internship search process is exciting and scary at the same time. Good luck!
