The “Doers” of the world who know how to make things happen.
The “Take Charge” people who speak up and make certain the team is heard.
Interpersonal people who build strong relationships that can hold a team together and make the team greater than the sum of its parts.
The strategic thinkers, ponderers, and wonderers who help teams to absorb, analyze, and consider what could be.

Living into the fullness of your strengths
• Through strengths there are no successes and failure, just an evolution of becoming a better you.
• The unique combination of your top 5 strengths can shift over time, for all the right reasons.
• Any strength gone too far is a weakness.
• We cannot expect people to fully understand us if we don’t bring all our strengths to the table.
