to foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses

Can any native give me a simpler way using verbal phrase to paraphrase the above meaning?

Thanks

Did you look up foster and circumvent in a dictionary and thesaurus?

http://dictionary.reference.com/
http://thesaurus.com/

The phrase you posted is nice and concise (and has a cool antonym flourish in there too with the strengths/weaknesses bit), so really it will just be about finding more familiar words. Have a look and see what you come up with!

Paraphrase is always a real headache for me.
