What is Shannon’s favorite course?

We are in the midst of our annual performance reviews, which always makes me reflect on my strengths and weaknesses and how I can improve. So, this week I listened to the 10-minute audio course by Simon Sez IT, Leveraging Your Strengths. This quick listen offered some great insights on assessing your strengths, including a practical guide to leveraging your strengths. I loved the idea of doing a SWAT analysis on your strengths and weaknesses when starting a project to better understand where you can grow and where you may need assistance.
