Community Call with Founder: Playing to Your Strengths

Join HerTechPath's Founder, Dr Eva Balan-Vnuk, for an informal and thought-provoking conversation, along with other HerTechPath Members. In this Community Call we'll discuss "Playing to Your Strengths".

What are your strengths? In casual conversations, people often downplay their strengths and hesitate to highlight them. When posed with this question during interviews, many individuals feel a bit uneasy and tend to rely on rehearsed responses aimed at making a favourable impression and boosting their chances of success. Is this merely a result of modesty? Or could it be that we lack awareness of our own strengths? Perhaps, but beneath this lies a deeper truth: we frequently underestimate our strengths and may not even recognize them.

This reluctance to acknowledge strengths is mirrored in psychology, where there has been limited empirical research dedicated to the subject. However, the emergence of positive psychology is changing this landscape. In this Community Call, we will delve into how your unique strengths can be leveraged in both professional and personal contexts.
