I found the Strengths Finders assessment to be really good. The book, &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/StrengthsFinder-2-0-Tom-Rath-ebook/dp/B001CDZZI6?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;btkr=1&amp;amp;redirect=true&amp;amp;ref_=dp-kindle-redirect"&gt;StrengthsFinder 2.0&lt;/a&gt;, tells more about the importance of discovering and developing your natural talents more than trying to fix all the things you&amp;#39;re not as good at. With the book you get a code to perform the self-assessment on the Gallup site.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Setting and Achieving Personal Goals</title><link>https://emersonexchange365.com/thread/12865?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 May 2016 21:41:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">cd40bb2b-3d49-4868-939d-417119b40291:73b3abe7-fd0a-46c3-a6d9-c1c69427e52a</guid><dc:creator>Tonya Wyatt</dc:creator><description>Great article!  Sometimes it is hard to identify the strengths.  I&amp;#39;ve found the Strengths Finder assessment from Gallup to be useful.  There are probably some free tools out there as well.  I like your suggestion about asking your friends - they probably can help you identify them quickly!  You get a lot more return for your investment if you build on your strengths and natural talents.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Setting and Achieving Personal Goals</title><link>https://emersonexchange365.com/thread/12864?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 May 2016 20:55:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">cd40bb2b-3d49-4868-939d-417119b40291:b4fe2387-bcfd-4371-ada6-cb9e3e24a907</guid><dc:creator>Barbara Hamilton</dc:creator><description>Great tips, Debbie.  And may I add that is is never too late to begin again and it&amp;#39;s always a good idea to reevaluate from time to time.
