About Me

People exceptionally talented in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.

I quickly weigh alternative paths and determine the best one. My natural ability to anticipate, play out different scenarios and plan ahead makes me an agile decision-maker.

How people with strong Strategic talents describe themselves:

“I am a planner who plays out different scenarios and asks, ‘What if?'”

“I need freedom to make mid-course decisions.”

“I love seeing a way when others assume there is no way.”

“I hate doing things the way they have always been done.”

“I bring creative anticipation, imagination and persistence.”

People exceptionally talented in the Developer theme recognize and cultivate the potential in others. They spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from evidence of progress.

I see the raw potential in people and even small signs of progress as I actively invest in their development. My encouragement helps others learn, grow and improve.

How people with strong Developer talents describe themselves:

“I am patient with the inexperienced and unseasoned.”

“I need someone to invest in.”

“I love to see potential and progress in people.”

“I hate wasted or unrealized potential.”

“I bring a commitment (time and energy) to the growth of others.”

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.

I feel obligated to honor your commitments. I do things correctly, accurately, and properly.

Driven by my talents, I am consistent in my core values and predictable in my actions. People are likely to know that I go to great lengths to do things right and to behave in an ethical manner.

How people with strong Responsibility talents describe themselves:

“I am someone others trust to get things done.”

“I need freedom to take ownership.”

“I love the respect of others.”

“I hate disappointing others and being disappointed by others.”

“I bring dependability and loyalty.”

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. 

How people with strong Belief talents describe themselves:

“I am passionate and uncompromising about core values.”

“I need a cause or purpose for which to live.”

“I love altruism.”

“I bring stability, clarity and conviction of values.”

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.

I build bridges between people and groups. I help others find meaning by looking at the bigger picture of the world around them, and I give them a sense of comfort and stability in the face of uncertainty.

How people with strong Connectedness talents describe themselves:

“I am incredibly aware of the borderless and timeless human family.”

“I need to be a part of something bigger than myself: a family, a team, an organisation, a global community, a cosmos.”

“I love circles of life and threads of continuity.”

“I hate an ‘us vs. them’ mentality.”

“I bring an appreciation of the mystery and wonder of life and all creation”
