Surefire ways to capitalise your strengths for success

Last week we held our first in-person Black and Good event of the year. It was a night of connection, laughter, inspiration and all-around good vibes. When you host a room full of creative entrepreneurs, passionate followers and change-makers beautiful things take place. An uplifting energy fills the space and potential and possibilities make themselves known.

​It was wonderful to connect in person, even more so because our special guest speaker, Mary Mosope Adeyemi, coach, executive director, author, and viSHEbility founder guided us with empowerment and a supportive offering of courage on how we can tap into and capitalise on our strengths.

Mary spoke with wisdom, humor, and ease. Being in her presence, and listening to her words and her stories ignited a sense of power that comes from knowing we each have something special to bring to this world, we each have something to offer. It is ours to tap into and not to be doubted. We all hold a unique combination of strengths, personalities, and experiences - these are within us to be utilised.

To share a little glimpse of what we took away from the evening, here are some key takeaways we summarised from the wonderful Mary Mosope Adeyemi, to capitalise on your strengths for success…

• Identify, utilise and develop your natural gifts in pursuit of achieving your goals 

• Recognise your unique way of thinking, feeling, and behaving that is hard to replicate by others

• Reflect on the things you do that make you feel fulfilled, invested, natural, energised 

• Clarify your values, beliefs, and the principles that govern your life - what is key to you? 

• Determine what you want and just as importantly, what you do not want 

• Get clear on what feels good to you, really feel into, and envision your goals in the present 

• Imagine the potential, if you feel the fear and do it anyway what may actually be possible?

• Try new things, keep exploring, gather data, and carve a path that matters to you

• Create a strategy of how you will utilise your strengths and invest in your talents

• Outsource the things that weaken you, we thrive in doing what we love
