- Identify your true self by finding the three words that describe you. Figure out what’s unique about you and when you’re at your happiest and best performance.
- List what your signature strengths are and how you tend to use them. And once you have these items, identify your values. Is it religion? Is it fitness? Is it your work life, and then write a small paragraph that incorporates these together. She calls it an essay so that you can reflect on it when maybe you’re not feeling so strong about it or you need to convince yourself what you’re really passionate about.
- Make sure you’re confident but not arrogant. Allow other people to tell their stories. Allow them to be themselves. That way, your power shows through without being arrogant or being a narcissist
