I think Steve uses "strength" in the same sense that Marcus Buckingham might use it. Only those who are strong and well aligned with their creativity (which you could say comes from their talents, among other things) will be able to realistically sustain power in this world and have a significant, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Steve Pavlina ()-style impact.

Edit: Ok, apparently you beat me to it. But oh well. Self wisdom is great, isn't it?

I enliven people by illuminating their strengths and encouraging them to harness their most fullfilling, energising strengths so that we're all stronger.

Some people say "you're here to shine." If you look closely, you realise you shine already.
