The CliftonStrengths Summit has come and gone (sad) and we’ll have to wait for June 2019 for the next one. Since it was a strengths summit, I would be remiss if I didn’t reflect on how I used my strengths at the event itself.
That’s the point of strengths anyway—to utilize your strengths to achieve your intended outcomes. Knowing and using your strengths is supposed to be utterly practical.
Here are the ways I used my top five talents at the Summit:
Gallup Description: People exceptionally talented in the Responsibility theme take psychological ownership of what they say they will do. They are committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.
Responsibility helped me to do what I said I would do in the manner I wanted to do it.
Gallup Description: People exceptionally talented in the Connectedness theme have faith in the links among all things. They believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has meaning.
Connectedness helped me to feel connected to others and the events that had come before.
Gallup Description: People exceptionally talented in the Belief theme have certain core values that are unchanging. Out of these values emerges a defined purpose for their lives.
Belief helped me to zero in on core values and feel more resolute in pursuing them.
Gallup Description: People especially talented in the Positivity theme have contagious enthusiasm. They are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are going to do.
Gallup Description: People exceptionally talented in the Individualization theme are intrigued with the unique qualities of each person. They have a gift for figuring out how different people can work together productively.
Individualization helped me to narrow in on the individual and celebrate his or her uniqueness among the masses.
I’m so grateful I was given the talents I was given so I could accomplish what was set out for me to do.
