Chelsea:
Hi everyone. I'm Chelsea Whitaker and I'm here with my sister, Nicole, who is a lawyer and a successful business owner. And today we're going to talk about the most effective way to identify your child's strengths and aptitudes.
Nicole:
Chelsea, why is this so important to identify your child's strengths and attitudes? How does that relate to finding their dream job?
Chelsea:
It's important that you discover what your child is good at, because that's going to keep them motivated to continue down that path. Usually when you're passionate about something, you're also good at it and you get good feedback from other people and internally just knowing that you're doing a good job and that's going to keep you on that path to success.
Nicole:
Right? The jobs going to be easier for them, if they're naturally good at it...
Chelsea:
Right.
Nicole:
So, can you give me an example of how someone's strengths and aptitudes relate to the type of dream jobs that they might have with their potential dream jobs?
Chelsea:
Sure. The person that comes to my mind is our mom. Now mom is actually a customer service rep, and now she's a gas dispatcher at BGE...
Nicole:
Our local electric utility, right?
Chelsea:
Right. But I really think if she were to do it all over again, thinking about her strengths, how outgoing she is, how much she cares for other people and just her wanting to hear other people's stories. I really think that she could be in an advocacy or caregiving profession such as working at a nursing home, being an activities director, being a caregiver or social worker, or even a cruise director. She really likes to listen to other people. She's a strong advocate. She's an excellent listener. And she's able to identify and manage her emotions as well as other people's emotions.
