 WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE, MANYA?
Every one of us is unique, with different passions,
strengths and goals. Knowing your strengths and how
to best leverage them, along with what to watch out
for, enables you to develop, grow and succeed.

Developed by Red Bull and an expert team of psychology

professors, Wingfinder focuses on your strengths, the things that
you're naturally inclined to be good at, and gives you the tools
and coaching to be even better.
The Wingfinder model comprises 25 individual strengths
organised in terms of four key areas.

Thousands of scientific studies have shown these four factors to be more

influential than any others for success in knowledge-based jobs.
 Your
CREATIVITY

Your CREATIVITY measures how original and innovative your thinking is, or
how logical and analytical it is.

You're full of new ideas, but you also know when to do things the
tried-and-tested way. You enjoy being able to bring an original
approach to a traditional environment.

Wingfinder measures CREATIVITY using three scales. Let's explore your

creativity in more detail.

problems and ranges from Intuitive, to Hands-on Learner, to Balanced
Learner, to Analytical and to Agile.

As a Hands-on Learner you approach problem-solving with your

preference to rely on your past experience to find solutions; sometimes
adding to this approach, an analysis of the situation. You enjoy finding
more practical solutions to problems, while also seeing that researching
solutions can still be valuable at time.

WHAT ARE STRENGTHS? YOUR STRENGTHS, YOUR STORY BEWARE OF THE DARK SIDE

Strengths are the ways you are
most likely to behave - your
strongest personality preferences.
They are aspects of your
personality that you use to succeed
at work and as you rely on them
you are more likely to start and
continue developing them. High
performance comes from shaping
and expanding your strengths
through concentrated effort and
practice.
We all have our own unique
strengths. Wingfinder focuses on
the key factors for career success
which have been identified by
psychologists across thousands of
scientific studies. What YOU DO to
develop your strengths will make
the difference.
Every aspect of personality has its
positives and negatives depending
on the situation and being self-
aware will help you succeed in
your career. As your top 4
strengths are your most preferred
way to behave, you may be
overusing them, or there may be
situations they may not be to your
advantage, how they can be
managed and developed is key.
 You are
PATIENT

You want to work to live, not live to work. So while you

work hard and put in the effort, you don't want your studies
or your job to become your life.

KEEP STOP START

DOING
Keep working on goals that
challenge you. Growth can happen
with small steps forwards, so give
yourself credit for the steps you
take and the wins you achieve.
DOING
You're mostly content with your
circumstances. While this may be
helpful in some situations, try not
to ignore opportunities where you
can demonstrate your strength and
ability. Seize the day instead of
settling for the way things are.
DOING
Look for roles that let you
collaborate because the drive of
others can be contagious, and your
focus will help bring balance.

Here are four ways to help you build on this strength

Avoid distractions
Identify what makes you procrastinate. Is it the Internet? Talking to friends?
Find a way to remove those distractions, especially when you have
deadlines ahead of you.

Be realistic
Don't set yourself a daunting, unrealistic goal. It's much better to be honest
about what you can get done.

Keep fresh
Make sure you have enough breaks during the day. A little rest helps you
stay focused and feel refreshed.

Find the right people to work with

Work for a company and a team that get you excited — a team you can
really feel part of.
 You are
MODEST

You're aware that confidence doesn't equal competence. It's

all about closing this gap and that's why you continuously try
to build on your competence.

KEEP STOP START

DOING
Being modest is a strength that
stops you from appearing to be
over-confident. It means you take
work problems seriously, know
your limitations and naturally
know how to avoid unrealistic
optimism.
DOING
Don't hide your achievements in
the shadows, let people know
about them. You don’t need to
show off but make sure you take
credit for your work.
DOING
Each week, make a list of your
successes, even small ones. Then
you'll have a record of all the good
work you've done — work you can
be proud of.

Here are four ways to help you build on this strength

Understand your career options

Learn about the careers that interest you. Find out what's going on in the
industry and be prepared to talk about it.

Get to know your strengths and weaknesses

Focus your skills by understanding what you're good at and what you're less
good at. No one is great at everything.

Plan your tasks

Don't fear the unknown. Draw up a plan for major assignments, so you
always know exactly what to do next.

Make the most of your strengths

Volunteer for specific projects that make use of your knowledge and
strengths — this will help you to gain competence and build up your self-
belief.
 You are
EMOTIVE

You feel strongly about what you do, and that's evident in
your attitude. It's an attitude that shows you care.

KEEP STOP START

DOING
Approach life with your natural
passion and intensity. When
choosing projects, choose those you
feel connected to and passionate
about. When you're not feeling
emotionally bought-in to a project,
take the time to find reasons why
you could be.

because others don't share
outward passion doesn't mean they
don't care about the project or task
at hand — they just show it
differently.

Here are four ways to help you build on this strength

Push yourself - but not too hard

Try to feel a sense of urgency without becoming overwhelmed by stress.
Push yourself a little.

Find ways to de-stress

Find an escape from stress. That could mean going on holiday, but it could
also mean meditating or going for a run.

Don't bottle things up

Don't bottle up your emotions. Create a ritual that helps you switch off at
the end of each day.

Think positively
Talk about something that excites you, something that you're proud of. You
could inspire others.
 You are
RELAXED

While you like to have a framework or a plan, you're not

often focused on the details, and you know when to
delegate.

KEEP STOP START

DOING
Compared to others, you don't let
the stress of work get on top of
you. Make sure you make the most
of your clear head and ability to
remain calm by sharing your
thinking, as it can help others to
keep things in perspective.
DOING
It's easy to let your mind drift
when you don't feel the pressure.
So just be aware when your head
starts to wander elsewhere. Pay
attention to when others' stress
levels rise as there could be a good
reason — use it as a trigger to
become more driven.
DOING
Focus on what interests you and
what will keep you interested. Find
something that challenges you and
keep working on these interesting
challenges. Sometimes, people
need to see that you understand
the urgency of situations so let
them know you 'get it'.

Here are four ways to help you build on this strength

Prioritise your tasks

Instead of having lots of tasks to do, pick just one or two things you can
really focus on.

Plan ahead
Do whatever feels good right now, but make sure you plan your next steps
too.

Try to work uninterrupted for 20 minutes

Set a timer for 20 minutes. Start studying. Every time you get distracted by
a new task, reset the timer. Don't stop until the timer hits zero.

Focus on the positive

Avoid being too negative. Rather than focus on what you can't do, think
about what you can.
