I enjoy leaning into my Top 5 Strengths: Communication, WOO, Futuristic, Maximizer and Positivity. My Communication Strength has shown up during my marketing career and as an instructor/workshop facilitator. I use my WOO to champion a variety of initiatives that bring people together to accomplish great things! Working in Marketing, you are always looking to the Future - the next trends, flavours, colours (!)- so my Futuristic Strength shows up as an interest in projections, research and trend spotting and comes in handy. I love to lift up others by helping them lean into their Strengths - using my Maximizer Strength to help folks move from Good to Great! And last, I bring my Positivity, love and enthusiasm for life to all that I do. Do you want to learn more about your Top 5 Strengths - how you naturally think, act and behave?
