Step 1: Self-Reflection
The first step in discovering your signature strength is self-reflection. Take some quiet time to ponder your life, your experiences, and the activities that genuinely light you up. Consider moments when you felt most alive, engaged, and in your element. What were you doing, and how did it make you feel? Reflect on your passions, interests, and the activities that bring you joy. Jot down your thoughts and observations in a journal to gain clarity.

Step 3: Reflect on the Results
Once you've received your report, take a close look at the results. What is your dominant Talent Domain? What are your top 5 strengths? Do they resonate with the self-reflection you did in step one? Your top strengths might be things you've always known deep down, or they may come as a surprise.
Step 4: Connect the Dots
Now that you've identified your strengths through the assessment, it's time to connect the dots. How do your top 5 talents show up in your life? Reflect on specific situations or experiences where you've demonstrated this strength, and consider how it has influenced your choices and actions.
Step 5: Leverage Your Strength
Harnessing your signature strength productively is the next step. Just knowing how you naturally operate doesn’t mean that you’re using that talent in a way that’s consistenly productive and positive. How can you leverage the best application of this talent more intentionally in various aspects of your life? Think about how it can enhance your work, relationships, personal growth, and overall well-being.
Step 6: Share Your Strength
Don't keep your strengths to yourself! Share them with others and offer support, guidance, or mentorship. Your unique qualities can serve, inspire and empower those around you. When you help others discover and harness their strengths, you create a positive ripple effect.
Step 7: Reflect and Refine
Regularly reflect on your journey of self-discovery and the use of your strengths. Assess how they continue to shape your life and relationships. Be open to refining your approach as you gain deeper insights into your unique potential.
Step 8: Consider Strength Coaching
As a last step, consider working to a strength coach. They can give you personalized advice to make the most of your strengths. A coach can help you navigate challenges, set meaningful goals, and bring out your full potential.
