StrengthsFinder 2.0



StrengthsFinder is all about maximizing on the strengths you have naturally. The theory is that too many folks focus on their weaknesses instead of realizing their natural talent. Combining natural talent with hard work equals a strength. (One of the cool things about this book is that it gives you a code to take an online assessment of your strengths.)

According to StrengthsFinder here are my top five strengths:

**Connectedness: People who are especially talented in the Connectedness theme have faith in the links between all things. They believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.

**Relator: People who are especially talented in the Relator theme enjoy close relationships with others. They find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal.

**Woo: People who are especially talented in the Woo theme love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. They derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with another person.

**Activator: People who are especially talented in the Activator theme can make things happen by turning thoughts into action. They are often impatient.

**Intellection: People who are especially talented in the Intellection theme are characterized by their intellectual activity. They are introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions.

I would love input from family and friends on what you make of these strengths of mine. Do you see these in me? Any ideas for how I could maximize my strengths with hard work?
