If someone asks you if you are making the right choices every day, would you be able to say YES and be 100% confident about it? Why or why not? Can you also say that you are able to maximize your talents in achieving your goals?

In a blogcon recently held at Kuppa Roastery and Cafe in BGC, coach Ryan Salvanera of StrengthsCoach.Ph defined talent as a naturally recurring pattern of thoughts, feelings, or behavior that can be productively applied. He also shared with us that: Talent x Investment = Strength.
To better illustrate the equation, Ryan showed us a photo of himself playing basketball and admitted that his talent in the sport is only a 2 while Michael Jordan registers as a 10. So, even if he invests the same amount of time playing the game, his 2 x 10 = 20 will never be good enough for Jordan's 10 x 10 = 100.

Ryan and Alex W., along with colleagues Andrea Goseco and Alex Araneta, form the pioneer team of Gallup Certified Strengths Coaches in the Philippines. Gallup is a world-renowned organization focused on employee engagement and productivity. In 2001, it introduced to the world the original Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment created by Dr. Donald O. Clifton (1924-2003), former Gallup chairman who was named the Father of Strengths-Based Psychology by the American Psychological Association.

Since then, more than 13 million people have realized the benefit of leading with their strengths including employees and executives of well-known companies such as Google, Facebook, Standard Chartered Bank, and Ritz-Carlton, among others.
It is very interesting to note something written in Forbes Magazine about Gallup: "Facebook uses StrengthsFinder in a clever way to deploy talent efficiently. Regardless of the job openings they have available, Facebook simply hires the smartest people it can find, then uses StrengthsFinder results to understand their talents and create a job tailored to the candidate." - from How to Hire Like Google and Facebook: Evaluating Candidates Beyond Their Technical Ability
