To identify your physical strengths:

  • Test yourself using professional weights.
  • Challenge yourself, such as entering a marathon.

To identify personal strengths (morality, ethics, interests):

  • Find something that you like to do, or something your good at. Work at it!
  • Look at your past achievements and list the skills you used to reach that goal.
  • Pay attention to what excites you--what you feel passionate about; your strengths often are intertwined with your passions.
  • What activities make you feel proficient or competent? Usually, we're using some personal strength during those times.

To identify work strengths, you'll need to look at your personal strengths plus your interests. Work strengths are usually a combination of those two areas, along with training. However, while training often follows our interests, our true interests don't always follow training. For example, many young people get their first jobs at fast food restaurants or a youth training program that hires summer help. The person may receive training specific to that job, but the person's passions are not really in being a fast food worker or summer helper-- it's not what the person truly wants to do as a career. So the training may follow only the interest of "I need a job; I want to earn money", but the training does not develop or support the person's true interests or what the person yearns to do, dreams of doing.

However, negatives often identify positives: What we don't like doing often helps us to know what we do like doing. What we don't excel in doing often helps us more clearly see what we do excel in doing. Think about your old jobs. Which jobs did you hate? Which employment settings left you feeling inept, useless, out of place? Which jobs did you do where your mistakes outweighed your successes? List those things like, "I hated working the cash register and dealing with people", or "I resented having to mop floors." Next to each negative, put what task you "would rather have been doing _____". Your list of "I would rather have been doing" often contains your work strengths, even if you have not yet been thoroughly trained to do that specific job fully. For example, many future nurses know that their personal interests and strengths include: working with people; hands-on caring for someone's needs; organizing a place/space; putting together details; supervising others; and interests in math, chemistry, Biology, etc. But these future nurses have not yet had the training that qualifies them to sit for State Boards and call themselves Registered Nurses.

In brief, the strengths and weaknesses are related to the internal driving forces, or sometimes referred to as environmental factors that affect your practice in either a positive or negative way. Every organization has its strengths. Some might include the following (some may apply to your practice while others may not).

  • good reputation
  • good customer, patient, or client service
  • exclusive access to high grade Natural Resources
  • favorable access to distribution networks
  • good management practices
  • state of the art technology
  • ability to be flexible
  • good location
  • appropriate resources to achieve organizational goals and objectives. These resources would involve material, human, financial, and information resources.
  • A clearly documented (written plan) vision statement that identifies who you are (as an organization), this is what you do, and this is where you plan to be in the future. Then, clearly documented Mission Statements that specifically outlines step by step how you plan to get there.
  • morale of employees. Are they energized and work out of a passion for what they do and the benefit it brings to others as well as themselves?
  • a good code of ethics for employees
  • an organization that shows social responsibility
  • able to communicate and deal with diverse populations

Evidently the list can go on and on. When looking for weaknesses (every organization has weaknesses), just use the opposite of what is listed in the above. In other words, poor reputation, poor customer service, etc. Still, this analysis should be coupled with the opportunities and treats of your practice which are related to the external driving forces or environment factors that may affect your practice in either a positive of negative way. These might include the economy, Demographics, government laws, regulations, competition, etc.

I would strongly recommend you research - on the net - the S.W.O.T. analysis. Every organization can use SWOT to analyze there strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Lastly, remember that you must document everything clearly. Never, never leave anything to memory. In addition, if you have employees, and need to make changes as a result of your analysis, make sure your employees know why theses change need to be made. In this way, you will minimize resistance to change among employess, which is a necessity for growth.
