Know Yourself: Self-Discovery

All humans are born with unique talents. Talent has been defined as the way one naturally thinks, feels and behaves in a situation. These talents are the source of the individual’s true potential and power. There is a need to harness this potential and convert into effective, productive and profitable results. The best way to harness is to first determine the unique talents of everyone, and convert these into strengths by refining the talents with acquired skills, knowledge and coaching. These strengths are then leveraged appropriately while at home, or School/colleges or at work in everyday life to achieve their personal as well as organizational goals.

“Most people think they know what they are good at. They are invariably wrong. And yet, a person can perform only from strengths;” said business Guru Peter Drucker. Knowing one’s unique talents will be a lifelong revelation. These talents never change. The key to success is to fully understand how to apply one’s unique talents and strengths in everyday life.

The best way to know yourself is by undergoing Clifton StrengthsFinder Assessment. The five words that you will get will describe you the best. Here are the testimonials from five out of 400 persons who gone through this programme under the banner of SatysSparks.

Ashvija A, MBA Student, SJCE on 18 March 2016, Now a Corporate Employee (Includer, Learner, Positivity, Responsibility, Input)

We spend lot of our time in understanding others, but this was a great platform where we spent a day to know about our self which is more important one. " Knowing Others is wisdom. But knowing yourself is Enlightenment"

Rajeev Kumar (Ideation! Input! Context! Intellection! Adaptability)

Senior Firmware Engineer with Hewlett-Packard

“Never knew, I had to improve on my strengths instead of weakness.

 Need to create more awareness.

Namrata Singh (Activator! Communication! Relator! Strategic! Maximiser)

 Consultant (PI - PPM) | Advisory Services: Ernst & Young LLP

“Strengths Finder was one of the most useful trainings I have undergone. It revealed strengths that I did not know I have and how to capitalise on them. The training also gives different perspectives from that of the traditional...capitalise on your strengths rather than improve on your weaknesses. The trainer imparted the training very innovatively with good use of videos and presentations.

I would highly recommend the training to anyone and everyone, if only to be reminded of their strengths.”

Soumyadeep Maiti (Context! Ideation! Deliberative! Relator! Learner)

Consultant: Accenture

“Training was really great and helped me understand my unrealized strength of being able to connect to people and really helped me understand why I do certain things exceptionally well even without knowing the basics to begin with.

 I will certainly recommend people to go through the training rather than interpreting it themselves as lot of characteristics have different meaning even to begin with.”

Kanthi Mathi, Teaching Faculty of UNNATI (Connectedness, Relator, Restorative, Responsibility, Discipline)
