Mod 1 Week 1: Understanding your strengths

Describe one of your strengths

  • I can listen.
  • I know technology.
  • I am calm, patient, and help others feel at ease.

If I had to describe a strength in one word it would be peacemaker. I am good at fostering a healthy environment with another person, or group of people, and help people feel supported. I always try to be respectful of other peoples boundaries and seek a sense of balance. Lastly, I like to focus on what strengths someone can bring to the table (instead of their weaknesses) and how those strengths can be best utilized.

When you've worked towards a goal in the past, what systems or tools have been helpful for you in accomplishing that goal? How could you adapt those same systems/tools to use while at Turing?

In the past networking has probably been the most important tool for accomplishing a specific goal I have. I actually don’t particularly like the term “networking” and I find it more useful to think of it as “friend-making”. I’m slightly concerned about entering a brand new industry during the middle of a pandemic as it will certainly be harder to make friends, but I hope I can adapt to that by swapping lunch dates with zoom calls. Turing seems to put a lot of emphasis on being engaged and appears to have an active alumni community which gives me hope.
