Turnthe page back over only to the skills list. Draw a line under theskills and now list 3 to 5 people who know that these are yourstrengths.
Turn the page over to only your passionslist. Draw a line under your passions and now list 3 to 5 people whoknow that these are your passions.
Now open the paper up so you can see both sides/lists. Circle any names of people that are on the same list.
Now take some time to reflect on your skillets, your passions, and your networks.
Ifeveryone on your lists are the same consider expanding and diversifyingyour networks. How will you grow if these groups are all the same?
Ifno one on your lists match consider how your networks make intersect.We may need to network within our networks to connect our passions andskillets. Ask curious questions to yourself like what about my passionshave I not shared with people in my strengths network?
If you have there is a good mix of people on your list then consider adding people to your list on both sides. Stretch yourself.
