Sometimes I think half of getting on the same page is defining the terms and some of the nuances that go along with the term. A very good insight. Interesting insight on making associations from memories. One would need to talk through experiences and make the "value" inferences from them rather than talking through the values outright. A really good comment -- thanks for sharing it. Robyn — a very good point on defining the terms.

As important as finding the right people to help one evaluate strengths (and/or weaknesses), is defining the terms. For example, when evaluating values (theoretical, social, etc.), it would be helpful to know how each person understands those terms by discussing them. For introverts like me, memories are triggered by associations. When asked which artists influence me, I could not tell you until I associated an artist with a memory. Not being on the same page could be frustrating when dealing with such important information. Interesting post and comments.

I just think we're all to close to ourselves to get the right point of view. Or what one group thinks (e.g., family where we are still like the five-year old kid...) compared to another group (those that work with us). We are different than we think we are and finding the right people to evaluate strengths is not as simple as I once thought. Rebecca: Good point.

That's why I like career coaches. Everyone likes affirmation of what their strengths are, especially us Gen Yers ;) I’m not sure it’s a guy thing. That’s why I like career coaches.
