EP18: Skills vs Strengths



In episode 18, we determine the difference between strengths and skills to help you better understand and articulate your unique qualities.


You will be guided through identifying and distinguishing between your strengths and skills through reflective activities.


As knowing the difference empowers you to make better career decisions and confidently explain your abilities.


Key points:

  • Understanding Strengths: By identifying your strengths, you gain insight into what you’re naturally good at, which can help guide career decisions that feel more satisfying and aligned with your true self

  • Defining Skills: Look further into the 4 types of skills and learn how to do a skills audit which can help you take stock of your skillset and assess areas for growth or improvement

  • Distinguishing Between the Two in action: Learn how to identify strengths and skills through reflection exercises, questions, and practical tips for creating competency statements.


This episode also introduces ways to prepare examples of your skills using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result), which is especially useful for interviews


Enjoy!


Take care,
