Diana joins me on this episode to share what it means to find your strengths and focus on them instead of your weaknesses. She discusses why you should leverage and maximize your strengths and why you gravitate towards people with the same strengths as yours. She also shares how to use your knowledge on strength-finding when hiring people and how to take full advantage of your strengths in running your business.
