Who am I and what gives me the right to want to help you?

Okay, so my CliftonStrengths are; Strategic, Achiever, Connectiveness, Empathy, Intellection. Which means I’m good at executing, relationship building and strategic thinking.

“People with strong relationship building themes thrive in the presence of others, and the pursuit of development is no different. Prioritise relationships over tasks, routines or structures. Your natural desire for high-quality relationships means you’ll be energized as you work toward growth. You excel at bringing individuals together to form a united team - one that is willing to support you. Because you relate well to others and inherently see how different people can work together, your leadership abilities will be most visible in social situations.”

My Honey and Mumford’s learning style is mainly a Reflector with a portion of Pragmatist thrown in!

“These people learn by observing and thinking about what happened. They may avoid leaping in and prefer to watch from the side-lines. Prefer to stand back and view experiences from a number of different perspectives, collecting data and taking the time to work towards an appropriate conclusion.”

Finally, my Myers-Briggs personality is an ENFJ.

“Warm, empathetic, responsive, and responsible. Highly attuned to the emotions of others. Find potential in everyone, want to help others fulfil their potential. May act as catalysts for individual and group growth. Loyal, responsive to praise and criticism. Sociable, facilitate others in a group, and provide inspiring leadership.”

That is me. Spot on! Understanding your you, makes you understand the why, and the what that drives you. I think these kinds of tools can help you. So, what are you waiting for? Time to take that next step.
