I’m a believer in attempting to understand oneself in order to better improve weaknesses and leverage strengths. I’ve found that Clifton StrengthsFinder provides some good starting insights. Seeing myself reflected back in the results made me stop and think more about what I’ve been doing and how I could exercise my particular strengths more. So what are my top five strengths? In order they are:

• Strategic
• Learner
• Belief
• Achiever
• Connectedness

These are the things I will most bring to any team and project. Trying to help others in a team realize their potential also makes everyone more successful, and that is key to how I lead. I’m pretty sure that previous sentence wrapped up all five of my top strengths in one package!
