I cannot believe how fast this entire experience is flying by. There is only four weeks left in my second semester of the Concordia MBA program. I will then be one-third of the way done with grad school! This past Tuesday, March 26th I began my first leadership class! Working in the leadership development industry, I have been anxiously awaiting to begin this course. I love learning more about how I can develop myself into a more effective leader.
We began the class by taking a Strength Finder assessment to determine what our top five strengths were. I was classified as an: Achiever, Includer, Woo, Strategic, and Learner. I found it fascinating that after I read about what each of these strengths meant, that I immediately began looking at all of the ways I would put myself into each of these categories.
I know I love to push myself to the limits and accomplish things I never believed possible. I like to constantly keep learning, and I love to bring people together. Soon after taking this test I read my strengths to one of my good friends, and the first thing she said was Woo fits you perfectly; this was interesting that she picked this strength out of the five. In my self-ranking system I put this one at the bottom. It is always important to get the input of others because usually they are more honest with you than you are honest with yourself. I plan to get feedback on my Strengths Finder report from other people close to me to get their opinion.
I am also a Woo! It surprised me, too, but after I learned more about the strength and hearing thoughts from other friends/coworkers, I soon agreed that it fits. Good luck with the rest of your journey through the MBA program!
