Build on Strengths

Posted by Ann Deaton Share Your Voice

We tend to be more focused on resolving problems than celebrating accomplishments. Yet, it is far more powerful to notice what is going well and build on it than it is to focus on what's wrong, missing, or not good enough.

Notice today what you are already doing that is a step towards your ultimate vision for yourself. Appreciate this as a step along the way and you'll likely find that tomorrow you do it even better. Before long, it will be second nature---all because you noticed what you were doing that approximated what you envisioned.

Small Ann Deaton I am a leadership coach, and Managing Partner in Bounce. I love to coach and facilitate with individuals and systems experiencing significant change and growth. The clients I work with, regardless of their age or position, are talented and creative individuals willing to look with fresh eyes at their challenges and opportunities, and to take action based on their discoveries. As a result, they find that they are capable of accomplishing far greater things than they ever imagined. What do you want to accomplish today? Who do you want to be?
