Last summer, when I was working on a mentorship program for refugee entrepreneurship, I realized the meaning and the importance of standing on the balcony- the ability to distance oneself from the situation in order to understand what is happening.  sometimes we get caught into situations that we can’t even manage to shift our minds to another point of view. When our own perspectives are dismissed, we either take it personally or we get lost. Standing on the balcony takes you into the minds of those you are engaged within the critical discussion. This has helped me manage stress, engage in a tough discussion that requires to take a decision and receive feedback without taking it personally. I find this skill useful especially when I am working with people of a different background from nine

Strength Spotlight http://tisiyamahoro.agnesscott.org/uncategorized/strength-spotlight-developer-personality/ http://tisiyamahoro.agnesscott.org/uncategorized/strength-spotlight-developer-personality/#respond Mon, 12 Nov 2018 16:35:44 +0000 http://tisiyamahoro.agnesscott.org/?p=119 Developer

Description: You see the potential in others. Very often, in fact, the potential is all you see. In your view, no individual is fully formed. On the contrary, each individual is a work in progress, alive with possibilities. And you are drawn toward people for this very reason. When you interact with others, your goal is to help them experience success. You look for ways to challenge them. You devise interesting experiences that can stretch them and help them grow. And all the while you are on the lookout for the signs of growth – a new behavior learned or modified, a slight improvement in a skill, a glimpse of excellence or of “flow” where previously there were only halting steps. For you, these small increments – invisible to some – are clear signs of potential being realized. These signs of growth in others are your fuel. They bring you strength and satisfaction. Over time many will seek you out for help and encouragement because on some level they know that your helpfulness is both genuine and fulfilling to you.

Analysis: Training and developing others has always drawn my attention. Living and working with others, and helping them unleash their potential is what energizes me every day. I believe everyone has the potential to do something powerful, and so, helping people develop their potential and do what they desire is how I invest in their future. Helping someone discover and use their capabilities to the fullest gives meaning to my life. Sometimes taking people out of their comfort zone can be challenging, but I enjoy walking with individuals through their fears with optimism that at the end of the journey they will be proud of themselves.
