I was having a chat with my friend Tom from Canada last year and he recommended to me this great book called Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath, New York Times Bestselling Author.  I found this book truly amazing because it helps you to identify your top 5 strengths and then provides you with a follow-up report on how to take action towards maximising these talents.  I often go through this with my clients when coaching them towards their goals.  My top 5 strengths are:  Futuristic, Maximiser, Positivity, Woo and Strategic and I can honestly say I get to utilise these strengths on this blog. If you are interested in finding out more then I would recommend you buy the book – and no I am definitely NOT on commission here, just thought it was a worthwhile book to share with you.  This next poem is all about maximising your potential – make you better today!!

Know Your Strengths

 The genius is inside of you

Know your strengths, this is your cue

With passion and purpose, strive for the best

Experience life, put yourself to the test

Nourish the seeds, the mind is so strong

Maximise your potential, this is where you belong
