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.

Others feel comfortable and even drawn to reciprocate friendship to a person with this Strength.

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.

WOO® is a social Intelligence theme. People with the Strength of WOO® have a great capacity to inspire and motivate others. WOO® is skillful in a social setting.
Exploring the StrengthsFinder Theme of Learner®
People with the Strength of Learner® love to learn in many areas and simply enjoy the process of learning, more than the topic of what is being learned. They enjoy learning almost anything, or perhaps going deep in only a few things. Either way, learning is fascinating and energizing.
