Finding Your True Strengths: The 3 E’s Framework

In Growth Notes, Frazier shares a simple framework to identify true strengths after a call with someone who wasn’t sure what his strengths were. Frazier explains that true strengths sit at the intersection of three elements: what is easy and natural for you (things that come quickly compared with others), what energizes you and gives you “juice” even when it’s difficult, and where you consistently produce excellent results that stand out to others. He distinguishes core competencies from core strengths by noting that something can be easy and produce good results yet still feel draining. Frazier encourages listeners to review the last week or two of their life to find specific moments where all three boxes were checked.
