What are your strengths that set you apart? We all have them. It’s part of what makes us human. The challenge is identifying them, developing them over time and then using them. It’s something we work on all our lives. Again, thanks to my parents, my strengths lie in reading, writing, and communicating. And thanks to my grandparents, I’ve got persistence, determination and grit in my DNA. Being thoughtful helps. So does being a good listener and taking notes.
