Mental Nutrition 25
![Page 26: CDAA International Career Conference, Cairns 2011 Three tools to capture clients’ strengths with Dr Ann Villiers, Mental Nutritionist.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051215/56649cb15503460f9497740e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Issues to consider when using these tools
Issue 1: People’s resistance
Can feel self-centred
![Page 27: CDAA International Career Conference, Cairns 2011 Three tools to capture clients’ strengths with Dr Ann Villiers, Mental Nutritionist.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051215/56649cb15503460f9497740e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Issue 2: Strengths are not static
• RBS is not a static portrait• We continue to evolve• Strengths Statements change as
talents manifest themselves differently over time
We are works in progress
![Page 28: CDAA International Career Conference, Cairns 2011 Three tools to capture clients’ strengths with Dr Ann Villiers, Mental Nutritionist.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051215/56649cb15503460f9497740e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Issue 3: Not an invitation to ignore weaknesses
Weakness = activity that makes you feel weak
• Manage around weaknesses• Need to identify behaviours,
personality traits that might interfere with performance
![Page 29: CDAA International Career Conference, Cairns 2011 Three tools to capture clients’ strengths with Dr Ann Villiers, Mental Nutritionist.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051215/56649cb15503460f9497740e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Issue 4: Intuitive thinkers may find analysis and review frustrating
These tools involve thought, mindfulness, noticing, reflecting.
The language of strengths and weaknesses is mainly an emotional one.‘I love this …’, ‘I can’t stand this …’
![Page 30: CDAA International Career Conference, Cairns 2011 Three tools to capture clients’ strengths with Dr Ann Villiers, Mental Nutritionist.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051215/56649cb15503460f9497740e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Issue 5: Walk our talk
• Do we know our strengths?• Are we comfortable talking about
our strengths?• Are we building a life around our
strengths?
![Page 31: CDAA International Career Conference, Cairns 2011 Three tools to capture clients’ strengths with Dr Ann Villiers, Mental Nutritionist.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051215/56649cb15503460f9497740e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Issue 6: Build a life around strengths
• How can this knowledge be used to enhance the quality of my work and life?
• How might I incorporate my best self into my current job, relationships, and future career plans?
![Page 32: CDAA International Career Conference, Cairns 2011 Three tools to capture clients’ strengths with Dr Ann Villiers, Mental Nutritionist.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051215/56649cb15503460f9497740e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
