Just by looking at the three phrases “capitalize on strengths,” “contribute value,” and “communicate results” on the book’s front cover, you can get a good idea of the author’s main focus. Mary Mosope Adeyemi’s Visible Strengths is exquisitely designed, and it immediately becomes evident how much information it contains.
The eagerness of the author to be of assistance to the reader is instantly clear. The author means business and wants you to treat your professional life seriously, as evidenced by the presence of the table of contents, which features interesting chapter titles.
With a sequence of questions, the author asks the reader to reflect. She is understanding and patient with her readers, so she does not become frustrated if they do not understand her rationale right away.
Her thoughts will inspire those who have tried and failed at various career routes. If you enjoy stories, be prepared to learn more about the author’s professional career.
She makes no attempt to provide the information that is beyond her own comprehension. When the reader realizes that she has been teaching these concepts for years and that she has genuinely seen them work in the lives of the people that she has taught, the reader will have a sense of relief.
The author does not hold back from telling the reader about her life, and the book starts to seem more and more like an autobiography. The author couldn’t keep from gushing about her parents throughout her work, demonstrating the profound influence they had on her development.
In this book, the numerous images are packed with information and may be used to grasp the meaning of an entire chapter without even reading the book.
In addition to that, the narratives in the book are based on real-life events that took place. You could recognize some of the names, while others would require you to do some research on Google to find out more about them. The author includes a vast number of resources that readers can consult in order to conduct additional research.
Each chapter concludes with a set of tasks designed to help the reader put what they’ve just read into practice. As if that weren’t enough, the book also includes a final chapter that summarizes each section.
As a result of the author’s habit of making numerous references to the guidance she has gained from self-help books, it is easy to deduce that she is a fan of this genre.
The author’s compassion is unparalleled, and she gently leads you back on track whenever it seems you’ve gotten lost. The author provides a helpful structure for readers to use while they consider their own career goals.
Readers with self-doubt will find something here, as well as the comforting realization that they are not alone in their struggles. It’s fascinating to see how the author helps readers overcome their negative thinking by providing actionable advice that you can immediately put to use.
Adeyemi portrays fear in a way that you probably have never heard before, which makes the reader love fear more—can you fathom that?
The lessons you learn from the author aren’t only about your professional development, but about how you should be conducting yourself in general. The author spared no detail, including everything from dress code to etiquettes.
Because the author was willing to be open and honest about a number of personal difficulties, including her own struggles with health as well as those of her parents, the reader will be able to better connect with the content of the book.
The absence of an author picture adds mystery, as readers are left to wonder who the book’s creative mind is.
This is the book for you if you are interested in having a job that is both successful and fulfilling for you.
