Who I knew the formula to harness your strengths would help you keep on top of your garden? To say nothing of reducing your stress levels and falling in love with your garden!
The formula to harness your strengths and delegate your weaknesses materialised by my own observations. As an illustration, I notice what my clients enjoyed the most and they disliked doing in the garden. Equally as important the second step was allowing the recognition and trade off to delegate!
When it comes to taking your garden to the next level this is one sure way of moving forwards. Additionally, harnessing your strengths and delegating your weaknesses will get you results faster. You may not think of having a large set of gardening skills. In contrast, you have more weaknesses than you might want to write down! With this in mind harness your strengths and delegate your weaknesses are one of the first steps to take.
The real truth is we all have strengths and weaknesses. It’s by acknowledging that it can move us forward, not only when gardening but in life also.
In the background, as a woman working in a predominantly male environment, I never felt like I had to prove anything. However, there were female colleagues who felt they had something to prove. It is important to realise letting go from having to prove YOURSELF or not, can be very revealing to your personality.
If you don’t like gardening in a particular way then don’t do it, change your gardening style. Since, gardening is all about enjoying your time outdoors, soaking up the fresh air, and recharging our wellbeing! When you acknowledge your weaknesses, you can delegate the right tasks and enjoy playing into your strengths. Together with giving your mental health a big boost at the same time!

If you have completed the exercise and have created your list, that’s great! Similarly, no worries this is about what works for you. You, have discovered what you need to delegate out and who you can delegate those tasks to. Consider beginning by asking your family members. What would they be interested in doing for you?
