Want to know what my strengths are & whether or not you can “Go Put My Strengths to Work”? These are my top 5 strengths ac-

cording to the Clifton Strengths Finder Assessment.

Clifton StrengthsFinder® THEMES

ACTIVATOR: These are the catalytic people who make things hap-pen, turning thoughts into action.

STRATEGIC: These people can quickly cut through clutter and spot the best, most relevant route to the goal. They can identify the patterns and issues and find a solution no matter what scenario an organization may face.

ACHIEVER: Achievers have incredible work ethics and stamina. They are highly self-motivated, self-starters with great self-disci-pline. These are not the folks you have to push to work, these are the folks that are so driven that you have to remind them to take vacations.

LEARNER: These people not only love to learn, but they push themselves and their teams toward constant improvement. Intui-tively, learners know how they learn best, they learn quickly, can keep a team focused, and can keep a team on the cutting edge.

COMMUNICATOR: These are people who are good at putting their thoughts into words. They are generally good writers and public speakers. Typically, they are good hosts and can bring events to life.
