    A session with Sohail Zindani
    International Speaker, Author and OD Expert,
Why me on Strengths?
Lets talk about it…

 Think back to when you were a child….do you see any
   positive patterns of behavior that have stayed with you
   since then?
      – What are they?
      – Have you developed these?


 Describe a time in your career when you felt very highly
   engaged in your work. What was it that caused you to
   feel that way?
Strength Signs!
   Talk to people on elevators, airplanes…bathrooms.
   Clean the house before you can relax.
   Hang the shirts in your closet according to color.
   Are the social coordinator for your family and friends.
   Are salesman’s worst nightmare.
   Find yourself mediating conflict between friends and family.
   Ask lots of questions…..lots and lots and lots of questions.
   Find yourself thinking a lot more about tomorrow than today.
   You love the limelight….really, really love it!
   Make a list of things to do.
Strange… Sad… but True!

Life’s Real Problem…

 “You can be anything you want to be, if you
  just try hard enough”

                           NONSENSE!
 “You cannot be anything you want to be – but
  you can be a lot more of who you already are”
“We must remember that casting a critical eye on
our weaknesses and working hard to manage
them, while sometimes necessary, will only help
us prevent failure. It will not help us reach
excellence…you will reach excellence only by
understanding and cultivating your strengths.”

- Marcus Buckingham, “Now Discover Your Strengths”
Shift Needed

You start seeing people in terms of
who they are…rather than in terms
of who they aren’t”

“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.I’m
convinced that the only thing that
kept me going was that I loved what I
did. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the
only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.
And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. Don’t settle
[for less]. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find
it.”
—Steve Jobs/commencement address/Stanford/06.2005
Thank you…

It’s your first and last chance…
Live your Strongest Life!
If not now, WHEN?
