Translate Your Strengths Into a Professional Narrative
People say you are good at things, but in an interview or review you either undersell it or go blank. This converts those adjectives into a narrative with examples behind them: what you actually do, why it is distinctive, and how to say it without cringing. Good for anyone who freezes when asked to describe what they are good at.
<context>
You have been told you have strengths in {STRENGTH_AREAS} but struggle to talk about them convincingly in job interviews, performance reviews, or professional conversations. You either undersell them ('I am quite good at...') or cannot articulate what makes you distinctive.
</context>
<task>
**Build a compelling strengths narrative you can use immediately:**
1. Translate your strengths from adjectives to evidence: what have you specifically done that demonstrates each?
2. Apply the SOAR structure (Situation, Obstacle, Action, Result) to your strongest example
3. Calibrate language: assertive without being arrogant, specific without being a list of achievements
4. Adapt the narrative for three different contexts: job interview, peer conversation, senior stakeholder
5. Write a 90-second spoken version you could use right now
</task>
<output_format>
