At Shift, we love helping our clients discover and utilize their strengths throughout all different areas of their lives, including how they wear clothing. The benefit of knowing your top strengths is that success and happiness will come more easily when you lean into what you are innately great at.
Have you considered how your strengths show up in the way you dress? Whether you’ve thought about it before or not, your clothing choices are reflected in your strengths. For example, if one of your strengths is WOO (Winning Others Over) then you likely wear something that will engage others in conversation. It might be a fabulous necklace, a colorful jacket, top, trouser or tie or a unique pair of shoes. It’s a choice that is special and stands out just enough to be a conversation starter. That’s powerful! And those with WOO love talking with others to win them over.
To learn your strengths, the first step is taking a short assessment through Gallup StrengthsFinder 2.0. You will receive your Top 5 Strengths and a description of those strengths. As coaches and stylists at Shift, we take a deep dive into your Top 5 Strengths by taking a balcony level and basement level view of each strength so that you maximize the way you show up in your life. Throughout the coaching and styling journey we continue to come back to these strengths. You will find that it has a positive impact on how you see yourself and how you communicate and relate with your family, co-workers, friends etc.…Your strengths are what make you uniquely YOU. You are an amazing human with amazing strengths. As the saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, why fix it?”
