Got asked to do this 'homework' today, and I thought I would share it with others, as it seemed quite profound.

Write a list of your 5 top weaknesses, and 5 top strengths.

Try work out how the weaknesses are actually strengths, and how the strengths can get in your way and be perceived as weaknesses.

I currently am beating myself up about my perceived weaknesses and how they are getting in the way of me functioning to the best of my ability, hence this exercise.
Just wonder how many of you have battled with similar?
It helped to hear that we all have weaknesses (We shouldn't really call them that) - thay are traits that form our personality and need to be embraced.
Hmmm... quite a bit there for me...

Had quite a good session, even though I first arrived not knowing what to discuss...
