Do you feel an impatience for inaction or are you eager to get things started? In today’s episode we welcome fellow Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, Adam Mustoe, to talk about the CliftonStrengths talent theme of Activator®. Jen and Adam share with us how having this influencing theme in their top 5 has aided their personal success, their ability to engage and motivate others, and how they appropriately focus and manage their "emotional intensity.". A common thread among those with high Activator® talents is a feeling of "you can’t succeed if you don’t try". Listen in and discover ways those with Activator® talents can contribute to a team, be a catalyst to get things moving, serve as "first followers", and motivate & lead others into action. Helpful thoughts from today’s show: How can you best respond, rather than react? Are you feeling that emotional intensity building? Remember to “pause and pivot”. Don’t confuse activity for productivity. Do you or someone you live or work with have high Activator® talents? We’d love to hear your experiences too!
