What is your Superpower?

The Standard Chartered Strengths Report

Thank you for completing our Online Strengths Assessment. We use your responses to work out the
things that come naturally to you, things that give you energy, and make you unique. We like to think of
them as the Superpowers that represent you when you are at your best.

Choosing the right graduate role is a big decision. A critical part of deciding on the right opportunity, is
knowing what your strengths are, and how they might match up to the sort of work you will enjoy doing
and find motivating.

To thank you for your time, we wanted to share what the Online Strengths Assessment told us about your
Superpowers.

Your Superpowers
Your Superpowers are the strengths you are likely to have possessed from a young age. These are
things that will probably feel easy for you, because they are natural strengths. You will typically see
exceptional results when you use these Superpowers and you are likely to feel really good when you
apply them. You should be looking to identify graduate opportunities that are going to give you the
chance to use your Superpowers as much as possible.

Your top two Superpowers from the Online Strengths Assessment are shown on the following page.

1. Achieve
You are a driven individual with limitless motivation and you are always focussed on achieving your
goals. You consistently deliver great work, regardless of the pressure. Your powers are being driven,
determined and ambitious
ambitious.

Unleashing your Superpower: What are your career goals? How will you achieve them?

Use your Superpower and dial up the drive, identifying the small steps you need to achieve any goal you
set.

Remember... Dont hold back telling others about your aims and ambitions. Capture personal goals you
achieve on your CV and LinkedIn profile. Be ready to showcase your hard work.

2. Network
You naturally develop a wide network of people and get to know them all well. You always know who to
call and ensure you stay meaningfully connected with everyone. Your professional and social network
reaches far and wide. Your powers are being connected, supported and well known
known.

Unleashing your Superpower: Who else could you add to your existing network? Think of three new or
influential people that you would like to have as a connection and plan how you will start to build
relationships with them.
Areas of Potential
Your Areas of Potential are the things you may need to practice and develop. These things may feel less
natural to you because they are skills you have to work hard to get better at, or they may not energise
you as much. It might be that you want to develop capability in these areas, or consider them when
thinking about the type of work or job you might like to do.

Your top two Areas of Potential from the Online Strengths Assessment are shown on the following page.

1. Resilience
You may sometimes find it difficult to pick yourself up after receiving bad news. You may dwell on the
negative and can find it frustrating when trying to learn from constructive feedback. You could develop
more resilience, persistence, and strength of mind
mind.

Developing your potential: The next time someone offers you constructive feedback, try to identify ways
in which this could help you in the future. Think about how you could turn around a challenging situation
to your advantage.

Reflect on how developing in this area makes you feel and how you can build up resilience when faced
with problems or negative feedback.

Remember... Setbacks happen to everyone. It is important to understand why a setback has happened
and explore how you can learn and move forward from it.

2. Advocate
You may find doing work that is 100% for the benefit of others draining. It can be difficult to strike a
balance between seeing things from other peoples perspective and bringing your own views and
priorities to bear. You could develop more in the areas of selfless delivery, giving, and your overall
professional style
style.

Developing your potential: How can you make serving others feel more rewarding? Proactively ask for
client, customer or stakeholder feedback and use it to help determine what great customer service
means for you.

Reflect on how developing in this area makes you feel and the impact it has on your work.

Remember... Great service means repeat business. Working hard to exceed the expectations of others
will create future opportunities.

Our top 5 tips for spotting your strengths as you think about the right graduate role for you are:

1. Energy - What activities make you feel motivated and enthusiastic? These are likely to be drawing
on your strengths.

2. Ease - What activities do you find easy to do and excel at? Its likely you are using your strengths to
achieve these.

3. To do lists - What are the things that you never seem to get done? You might be avoiding them
because they dont draw on your natural strengths.

4. Attention - what activities do you get really absorbed in? When you are able to really concentrate
on something and naturally give it your full attention, it is likely that you are using strengths in some
way.

5. Authenticity - When do you most feel like the real you? Remember strengths are what make us
unique and feel powerful, if you dont feel like yourself in a role; its likely you are not using your
strengths.
