Now, Discover Your Strengths: A Guide To The Key For Success In The Workplace And Life.

Let me guess...You are miserable in your job. Few of us ever learn the keys to success. Don't feel bad, most of us are. In fact, in a recent survey conducted by CareerBuilder.com. 84 % of the nations workforce are unhappy at work. That is not surprising is it? When I read that statistic, I nodded my head in agreement.

Dec 19, 2008, I watch Marcus Buckingham on Oprah. He has a radical strength training approach to help people discover your keys to success and happiness at work. Based upon his interest "in interviewing people who excel at their job and finding out what drives them" to succeed, he worked with millions of people over the last two decades and published four bestselling books.

His key to success is simple, "focus on what makes you feel strong, instead of trying to fix your weaknesses. If you want to know what your strength is, you've got to pay attention to how you feel. It feels like focus. It feels like concentration. You feel invigorated. Energized." His methodology works like "magic", and now he has another best seller book out, Now, Discover Your Strengths, that teaches people to recognize and tap into their innate abilities and develop them into a success strategy.

So, like a happy little camper, I stopped at the nearest book store and purchased Now, Discover Your Strength.

Why We Never Can Discover The Keys To Success?

What I found out as I began to read Now, Discover Your Strength, is unfortunately, most of us have little awareness of our talents and strengths, much less the ability to build our lives around them. Instead, guided by society, we become experts in our weaknesses and our lives revolve around trying to fix our flaws. In the meantime our strengths lie dormant and neglected.The majority still think that "plugging the weaknesses" will be the keys to success.

Need a little re-enforcement on that thought...Think about the new year coming. How many of you are making resolutions to fix "the bad stuff" in your lives. Marcus states that that will do little to help.

Instead, think of something you are really good at. Some area of your life were you show a natural advantage , talent, strength or passion. "That's where you start," Marcus says.

How To Use "Now, Discover Your Strength" To Find The Keys To Success

How do you discover your keys to success and turn them into strengths? With the innovative program developed jointly by Marcus Buckingham, and Donald O. Clifton, Chair of the Gallup International Research & Education Center. Called the StrengthsFinder® Profile, it is an internet based product that helps to identify the most prevalent human strengths. It helps guide the user to pinpoint their talents, build them into strengths, and capitalize on them for maximum success.

Found in chapter 3 of "Now, Discover Your Strengths", a unique identification number allows you access to the StrengthsFinder® Profile on the Internet. There StrengthsFinder® Profile conducts a virtual interview and analyzes your immediate reaction. Then you are are presented with five of your most powerful signature themes such as Achiever, Empathy, Strategic, and shows you how to leverage them for intense results on three platforms: your own development, success as a manager, and for the success of your organization.

Endorsed By Oprah, "Now, Discover Your Strengths", Is The Best Tool To Discover The Keys To Success

Admittedly, I don't watch Oprah daily. I just happened to chance on the Marcus Buckingham episode. It was an excellent happenstance. Now, Discover Your Strengths has to be one of the most fundamentally useful business books ever written to capitalize maximum success.Giving the reader profound insights on their talents, turning talents into strengths and the immediate on-line feedback of StrengthsFinder®, it is truly a ground breaker.The fact that the author Marcus Buckingham, is endorsed by Oprah, says enough.
