 # Strengths Reflection & Coaching Request


 ### Read Through Your Theme Definitions

 1. What words or phrases stick out to you? How would you define each of your top 5 talents in your own words?
 " You do not necessarily shy away from meeting new people—in fact,
 you may have other themes that cause you to enjoy the thrill of turning strangers into friends." This resonates with me deeply, as I tend to have many friends, but also a set close to me who I spwnd the most time with.

 Relator, tends to get to know people fairly well. Learner, always is on the hunt to keep learning and try new things, whether that be a new cooking recipe or a concert. Command, has a habit of taking charge and guiding a group with knowledge and experience. An analytical likes facts and data to support arguments. Harmony wants everyone to get along because conflict makes them feel uncomfortable. 

 2. Do these top 5 talent themes resonate with you? Why or why not? 
 They do. I find myself working on teames with like minded people that get along, love to learn, work hard, and who are happy about life.

 3. How have you seen yourself using each of these talents? How often do you see yourself using these talents?
 I definetely use my talents, but after doing this assesment, I find that I wish I used them more! In my previous job, I noticed that people want to be around me becuase I have a skill to get along with everyone and keep the team happy around eachother.

 4. When has it been difficult for me to be aware of this talent?
 All the time. Its difficult to be honest with myself when I continually want to learn to be a better person or mimic someone elses strengths. The truth is that leaving my head to be my own self has a greater impact on my life and I wish to harness this more here at Turing.



 5. What talents could you develop further that would help you in your growth at Turing and in your new career as a software developer?
 I want to follow through and see goals met. I also want to analyse situations or code, step away, and imagine possible outcomes. From that, nuturing the futuristic and creative side of me is something I would love to dive into while I build software. 



 6. How would you like to build more awareness around these themes?
 I think first of all, build self awareness. This assesment was particularly enlightening right now. Keping the strengths I learned recently in mind, harnessing them, keeping them in my forethought and building upon sounds really interesting.


 7. In which situations would developing these themes be beneficial?
 Working with teams perhaps? Stepping away right now, its hard not think past the current situtation of school and future jobs. I sense I will have to come back here with an open mind to pick out other situations.


 8. When might you overuse any of these themes? How might you benefit from dialing it down in a certain situation?
 When I am in a new group, I would say that being commanding is probably too invasive at first without the trust of the people around me. 


 9. How could you use these themes to help you manage an area in which you might struggle?
 Asking for help comes to mind when I a not having the ability to learn.


 10. How can you do more of what you do best every day?
 Engage with the people around me and show that they can trust me in any type of situtation.


 ### Look at the Suggested Action Items 

 11. What options sound doable? 



 12. What are some new ways to use these themes that you haven't utilized before?



 13. What obstacles are there to trying out any of these options?



 14. Shortterm: What is an action step you'd like to commit to help you develop your themes further today? Next week? 



 15. Longterm: What do you want to learn this module to turn your talents into greater strengths? How will this help you with your professional or personal goals?



 ### Next Steps
 This reflection is for your own growth, and you do not need to turn this in.
