Exploring the Strength of Restorative®
Have you ever been baffled when someone just steps in to fix something, and succeeds? Or do you have a favorite chiropractor, mechanic or doctor who always seems to figure out what is needed? Or maybe you work with someone who is always figuring out ways to modify or adjust what you’re doing so you are more efficient. If so, you may have met someone with the Strength of Restorative®.
Our Approach to Building Strengths Based Organizational Culture
Our approach in helping to building strengths based culture is to focus on strengths as being descriptive, generative, environmental and transformational. This is why we take a behavior based approach to the understanding and application of StrengthsFinder. We create a relational and intentional connection with those we work with. Awareness of the behaviors behind strengths help better identify how you will make a significant and unique contribution to the team.

Exploring the StrengthsFinder Theme of Relator®
People with the Strength of Relator® have a profound relational capacity to develop a relationship with anyone. However, they might be drawn to people they already know. The Relator® may have ‘qualifications’ for close relationships because they know what it takes to build a close relationship. Others feel comfortable and even drawn to reciprocate friendship to a person with this Strength.
Don’t do These 3 Things if you Want to Build a Strengths Based Team
Assembling a strengths based team is difficult. You want to get the most out of each member. To do that, make sure you’re not doing these three things.
Exploring the StrengthsFinder Theme of Maximizer®
People with the Strength of Maximizer® measure themselves against excellence, not average. At times, excellence is the only measure of success, anything less is not acceptable. A person with the Strength of Maximizer® looks for excellence and the best around them. They are compelled to discover or maybe uncover excellence, and then refine it and apply it.
