Coffee and Conversation: Strengths and Weaknesses

Linking up with Kalyn and Lauren for another week of Coffee and Conversation.

This week's question:

What do you consider your two greatest strengths? What about the areas you would like to improve?

I dread these questions in interviews. For whatever reason, I have a hard time boasting about myself, and I am also scared to show my weaknesses because it makes you feel vulnerable and well...there are many more weaknesses than strengths in my book. There is always room for improvement. 

I feel one of my greatest strengths is my loyalty. If you are a family member or friend...I am loyal to you for life. I always give you the benefit of the doubt, back you up and am there for anything you need. If you treat me right, I do the same for you. I am also this way in my professional life. If an employer treats me right, I am loyal forever. If there is a nice client/vendor...I will do what I can to make sure you receive our business. 

I am a hard worker. I do what I can and feel accomplished when I can cross things off in my mind that I did. I feel proud when I am home on a Saturday and have the entire house cleaned from top to bottom before 11am. At work, I try to get everything off my desk as soon as I see it. I hate having piles of things that need to be done, so I do it as soon as I can. 

 There are so many things that I need to improve on in my life, it is just easier to make a list! 

I need to improve my strength and time dedicated to my faith.

To stop worrying about things I can not control. 

I need to learn how to say no, and accept that it is a perfectly acceptable answer sometimes.

I need to be more confident in decision making. While I can make professional decisions easily all day, every day...I have a hard time making the little decisions in life. Do I buy this or not. Where are we going out to eat? What do I want to do today. Those decisions can daunt me, and drive my husband crazy!

There is always room to improve your marriage. I strive every day to be a better wife.

I would like to learn new skills and hobbies.

I love to cook and feel that I am fairly decent at it, what I am not good at is baking. I need to practice more!

I have been trying to eat cleaner, healthier foods and have been doing pretty good. I need to work on the physical side with consistent exercise.
