People exceptionally talented in the Activator theme can make things happen by turning thoughts into action.
People exceptionally talented in the Maximiser theme focus on strengths as a way to stimulate personal and group excellence.
People exceptionally talented in the Communication theme generally find it easy to put their thoughts into words. They are good conversationalists and presenters.
People exceptionally talented in the Empathy theme can sense other people’s feelings by imagining themselves in others’ lives or situations.
People exceptionally talented in the Woo theme love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over.
My number one strength is Activator - let's get moving - let's get it done!
They're at the heart of my agenda. After that comes Maximizer - Can we improve it? Can we make it better? What else can we add?
The last three - Communication, Empathy and Woo - are connected. I love the written and spoken word, tuning into others and winning them over.
