83. How to Leverage Your Strengths (Own Your Power Series, Part 2)

What Rules!?: A career podcast for women of color

In Part 2 of our Own Your Power Series, we share how you can leverage your strengths to get ahead in your career.

Discovering and growing your strengths is worth it. Research says people who have the opportunity to focus on their strengths every day are six times as likely to be engaged in their jobs.

We offer tools that will help you identify your strengths and build on them. “We all have areas that we consistently stand out in,” says co-host Dr. Merary Simeon. “Once we understand what they are, those are our strength zones.”
