Playing to your strengths

Play to your strengths

You have skills. You are good at the things you do well. And it can boost your mood to play to your strengths.

Working with your confidence levels

Read up on ways to explore building your personal confidence. It is important to recognise your strengths and value them.

Recognise what you are good at and where you can improve. This SWOT worksheet can help you pinpoint your strengths and ways to become stronger in areas you want to improve.

Enjoy what comes easily to you

We all have different strengths. Build your skills over time, and if you are naturally strong in some areas, whether it’s communication or problem solving, look for ways to use your skills and enjoy them. You can do this while in work, or when approaching activities like finding a job. This goes for hobbies and pastimes you enjoy, too.

When you know what your strengths are, you can help them shine in job applications and interviews. You can also take on work that you will enjoy and do well in, which can help your self-esteem.
