The document summarizes key points from John C. Maxwell's book "Talent is Never Enough". It discusses 13 traits that help develop talent into talent plus. These traits include belief, passion, initiative, focus, preparation, practice, perseverance, courage, teachability, character, relationships, responsibility, and teamwork.

The Big Idea
Failing forward tells you how to look at life’s setbacks and learn from your mistakes. If you haven’t failed at anything, it means you haven’t really taken a risk at anything. Failures are only as bad as you perceive them to be. Life is much better when you live, and try, and fail. Living requires failing every now and then. The basic steps to moving on and failing forward are:
Realize there is one major difference between average people and achievers. The difference is in how they respond to failure
Learn a new definition of failure.
Remove the “you” from failure. Don’t take it personally.
Take action and reduce your fear.
Change your response to failure by accepting responsibility.
Don’t let failure from outside get inside you.
Say good-bye to yesterday.
Change yourself, and your world changes.
Get over yourself and start giving yourself.
Find the benefit in every bad experience.
If at first you do succeed, try something harder.
Learn from a bad experience and make it a good experience.

YOUR WEAKNESSES DON’T LIE
Others Know Them. Why Don’t You?
Identifying Strengths & Weaknesses. Taking Steps To Improve.
We mostly think positively about ourselves, viewing, working in, and promoting our strengths.
Leadership teachers rightly tell us to play to our strengths because strengths involve our passions, what we do well.
But does anyone tell us to “focus” on our weaknesses?
When leading in challenging situations, we may identify symptoms of our strengths/weaknesses based on our behaviors or results of our behaviors that surface and reactions from others.
hen we identify those things, we should
-Capitalize on strengths
-Recognize symptoms of weaknesses
-Determine weaknesses
-Make necessary changes in ourselves and what we do.
This session will delve into
-Identifying strengths/weaknesses
-Taking steps to improve further on what we do well
-Making changes where necessary.
