Do you regularly trust your gut instincts? On this episode we explore the CliftonStrengths® Self-Assurance® talent theme with Gallup Certified Strengths Coaches, Dr. Jan Peters and Maureen Rabotin. Jan and Maureen share how their Self-Assurance talents provide them an internal direction and a general sense of 'I've got this’ in the face of uncertainty. Unlike some of the other influencing themes we’ve explored, this theme is not interested in comparisons. We learn this talent theme brings an energy and passion that helps them make decisions easily and move the project forward. Due to their strong presence, they share this theme’s energy can be contagious but also make them overly persuasive and not back down when challenged. If you're working with others who share Self-Assurance, it’s good to know that they prefer to be asked for their input rather than being given strict direction. If they appear to be coming on too strong, it's best to ‘call them in’ and get curious about where their internal compass is leading, rather than ‘calling them out’ in front of others. Working with those with Self-Assurance, ask questions to help them articulate their passion and instinct, leading the way for the good of the group.
