Areas of Growth/Weekness AWATO
Public Speaking
: Even though I am an extrovert, the assessment indicated that I could enhance my skills in professional public speaking. I aim to improve my public speaking at business meetings, as it could significantly contribute to my career advancement.
Assertiveness
: My optimistic nature is a significant asset, yet I acknowledge that I have areas for growth, such as enhancing my assertiveness and establishing firm boundaries. Leslie Sachs highlights in her article that being overly agreeable can result in stress and reduced productivity. By honing my assertiveness, I intend to confront issues head-on and minimize undue stress. While my good-natured and supportive demeanor is a virtue, I realize that my tendency to be agreeable may leave me open to manipulation. The assessment indicates a potential risk of being manipulated or taken advantage of due to this trait.
