 Societal Bias
- admit your mistakes
- learn from your mistakes
- identify what you did wrong and never do it again!
Admitting our mistakes is honorable
We are also taught to be modest
 We are told
- Dont boast, dont brag
- Dont be conceited
- Let your good deeds speak for themselves
So, talking about our success is dishonorable!

Strengths
 Pair up with someone
 Partner says: Tell me about yourself.
 You reply: There are a number of things I do well.
One of my many strengths is _________
 Partner says: Prove it!
 Give your best example or two of that strength from
your Reality Test using the STAR Method
 Get feedback from partner: Were you convincing? Clear and to the
point? Less than two minutes? Used I statements?
 Switch roles and repeat
 Time: 3 minutes each (including feedback)
The STAR Method
S = Situation
The context (project, paper, research, event, assignment)
T = Task(s)
The goals/objectives (what you were supposed to do)
A = Action
How you went about achieving those tasks/goals (in detail!)
What was most difficult and how you addressed it
What was exciting/fun!
R = Results
The outcomes (tangible & intangible)
If result wasnt entirely positive, say what you learned or would
do differently next time
Discuss Articulating Your Strengths
 How did it feel to be talking about your strengths?
 What did you gain from this?
 Did it sound like your partner was bragging?
