What if you could learn how to do everything from your unique strengths and find your calling? There is no one else on Earth exactly like you.
In this episode Jessica and Paula talk about two ways in which you can use your strengths to find your calling:
Incorporate more of your top strengths (also known as signature Strengths) into your current work to increase the feeling of work-as-a-calling, and/or
Leverage your signature strengths to find your calling in a new career.
We'll talk about the research of Drs. Claudia Harzer and Willibald Ruch, who have conducted a number of studies on strengths in the workplace (and callings specifically!). In their study, When the job is a calling: The role of applying one's signature strengths at work, Harzer and Ruch found that employees who use four or more signature strengths are more likely to consider their work a calling. In another study "Your Strengths are Calling: Preliminary Results of a Web-Based Strengths Intervention to Increase Calling" Harzer and Ruch found that people who tailor their work description and activities to match their signature strengths increase the feeling of work-as-a-calling.
You can use your strengths to help you identify your calling in a completely new career. We can find a calling in a different vocation by doing what Professor Herminia Ibarra talks about work experiments. Trying out new jobs with small actions (like taking a course), and we can use our strengths to support us in conducting these experiments. (We'll talk about Dr. Ibarra's work in more depth in a future episode).
We'll also walk you through the options to find out your top strengths.
Paula is passionate about the Values In Action Character Strengths (also known as VIA strengths). The VIA strengths assessment is free, and the results are the most studied in academia. But the results are more about your values and life in general and you may need help interpreting them for the work context. Take the free VIA Strengths Assessment here.
Jessica uses the CliftonStrengths by the Gallup Organization to help her DoTerra team grow. These strengths, also known as Gallup Strengths, were specifically designed within the context of work. That makes them ideal to help you find your calling. But this assessment is not free. Take the Gallup CliftonStrengths Assessment here.
