Strengths and Weaknesses:

In the lesson where we first got told about the blogs, we where asked to list our strengths and weaknesses, below is the lists I came up with, it will be interesting latter in the year to see what I have maintained, improved and perhaps depleted in.

My strengths:

• I feel I have an abundance of confidence, which allows me to work to a high level and succeed.
• I feel I have good public speaking skills, which were developed significantly over the summer, when coaching in America; where I had to speak to large groups of people of contrasting ages.
• I feel I have efficient punctuality, which is vital for future careers.
• I feel I have good communication skills, and can empathise well with others problems and issues; partially due to my role as a bar tender.
• I feel I am a good leader, yet am equally comfortable working within a team situation.
• I feel I am focused and have a clear desire to succeed.
• I have a great amount of enthusiasm and try to keep upbeat in all situations.

 

My Weaknesses:

• I can often become over exuberant and become over talkative.
• I often allow judgements and perceptions to cloud my judgement of character and situations.
• Whilst I feel I could become more organised by planning in advance.
• I find it hard to accept criticism and negative feedback.
