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.

Understanding Your Unique Combination of Strengths Across Key categories


“The key to human development is building on who you already are.”

Tom Rath, Author of StrengthsFinder 2.0


Talentx Investment

Strengths

• Raw talent serves as a multiplier for growth and development.

• 10,000 hours of investing in talents can elevate them to become high performance strengths.

Leveraging Strengths

A natural way of feeling, thinking, and behaving.

The ability to provide near consistent performance.

Time spent developing skills and building knowledge base.


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.


“The best hope of solving all of our problems lies in harnessing

the diversity, energy, and the creativity of all our people.”

Roger Wilkins, Civil Rights Leader & Professor
