INFLUENCING
1. Woo
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. You derive satisfaction from
breaking the ice and making a connection with someone.
It’s very likely that you usually are willing to acquire new skills or gain additional knowledge.
This explains your eagerness to be the first person to speak with newcomers or outsiders.
You undoubtedly sense these individuals can teach you something you need or want to
know.
Driven by your talents, you are passionate about life. Your upbeat and personable style
attracts people. Your ability to deal with whatever happens wins over many individuals. You
look for and find the good in people, opportunities, processes, events, and even difficulties.
Instinctively, you undoubtedly are talkative in social situations. You have a good time
circulating from group to group. You feel wonderful about life when people appreciate your
unreserved, gregarious, and friendly nature.
Chances are good that you enjoy chance encounters with friends and strangers. You
engage them in conversation. Rarely are you at a loss for words. You delight in all kinds of
dialogues, discussions, and verbal exchanges. You are apt to move swiftly from person to
person, taking time to briefly chat with each individual.
Because of your strengths, you want people to be as fond of you as you are of them. You
have much love to share. You exhibit a generosity of spirit that draws individuals to you.
You have an exceptional ability to win others over. Because you energize social situations
and naturally put strangers at ease, you help build networks by connecting people with
each other.
• Others may view you as shallow and insincere because you connect with people quickly
then move on. In social situations, when you are talking with someone and have the urge to
go meet someone else, try to remember that some people may just be getting
comfortable.
• You may have a tendency to reveal yourself and trust others too quickly. This may cause
more reserved people to step back from a relationship. Be aware that people’s personal
comfort zones differ, and you will need to adjust your approach if you want to win people
over.
INFLUENCING
2. Communication
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You generally find it easy to put your thoughts into words. You are a good conversationalist and
presenter.
It’s very likely that you genuinely enjoy chatting with all sorts of people. A fine day for you
includes many opportunities to engage individuals in dialogue. You probably feel most
enthused about life when your need to express yourself is appreciated rather than viewed
as a shortcoming.
Driven by your talents, you are a magnet for fun. You personify the phrase “the life of the
party” — that is, you can make situations enjoyable, exciting, and interesting for a group of
people. You bubble with energy and enthusiasm. You welcome opportunities to create
merriment. People look forward to just being with you or attending your social gatherings.
Because of your strengths, you are a lot more upbeat about life when you are surrounded
by teammates, classmates, coworkers, family members, friends, or even strangers. Being
alone for too long can be quite disheartening — that is, lower your spirits.
Instinctively, you are quite comfortable talking about yourself. You also enjoy listening to
people describe their talents, limitations, goals, worries, or successes. These insights often
help you discover what someone thinks or feels. You probably acquire valuable information
about the individual’s style of thinking, learning, working, playing, problem solving, or
studying.
By nature, you live your life at center stage. It is risky at times. However, it is the only way you
will ever know how much people appreciate and love you. Being a person of prominence
and achievement comes naturally to you. You easily capture the attention of others. You
sense that you are most alive when you hear thunderous applause or receive accolades
from those who realize you are important.
You are good at capturing people’s attention by what you say and how you say it. Your
ability to find words for your own and others’ thoughts and feelings highlights important
messages and helps you make meaningful connections.
Use your gift for stimulating conversation to connect with and inspire others.
• Monitor your audience. Carefully watch how they react to what you say and what engages
them. Identify the words and phrases that caught their attention. Refine your upcoming
presentations, conversations and speeches to focus on these highlights.
• Keep getting smarter about the words you use. They are a critical currency for you. Spend
them wisely, and monitor their impact.
• Take your Communication talents to the level of strength by developing your knowledge
and expertise in specific areas. You can be highly effective and influential when your
message has substance.
• Keep your best stories top of mind, and practice telling them so you get better each time.
You excel at capturing people’s attention.
• Use your talents to build consensus among your peers. Get them talking, and help them
put their ideas or feelings into words.
• Because you are naturally verbal and instinctively share your thoughts, you may not realize
when you are monopolizing a discussion. Try to be mindful of when other people have
something to say, and consider pausing so they can say it.
• Remember that your words are not always enough to motivate others. Take time to listen
and pay attention to what others are saying — and not saying.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
3. Positivity
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You have contagious enthusiasm. You are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are
going to do.
Driven by your talents, you are thrilled when people acknowledge your practical, realistic,
and straightforward thinking style. They rely on you to deal evenhandedly with everyone
involved in a project. They know you can keep misunderstandings to a minimum. You feel
very good about life when you help your teammates, coworkers, classmates, friends, or
family members behave civilly and work cooperatively with one another.
By nature, you feel good about life when you can spend some time contemplating what can
be done in the coming months, years, or decades. You probably generate ideas, plan
projects, or set long-term goals.
It’s very likely that you characteristically play games with enthusiasm. The notion of winning
or losing rarely enters your mind. Having a good time is your top priority. This explains why
you intentionally avoid people who take contests, tournaments, or matches much too
seriously.
Chances are good that you usually feel better about life when you can figure out how to fit
into new situations. As a youth, you were probably determined not to cause any trouble for
your family members, classmates, teammates, or teachers. You discovered ways to reduce
their stress, frustration, anxiety, or anger. You aimed to keep the adults in your life happy.
Instinctively, you repeatedly go out of your way to support, inspire, motivate, or embolden
various individuals. You likely regard this task as worthy of your effort and time.
You have an infectious energy and enthusiasm. As someone who offers genuine
encouragement and an optimistic outlook on life, you have the power to make people feel
better when you are around.
• Sometimes your optimism and generosity with praise might come off as superficial, naïve
or insincere. Make sure your positivity and admiration are always genuine; you can do more
damage with false praise than with criticism.
• Be careful not to point out the positive side of a bad situation before others have the
chance to fully vent. Acknowledge that sometimes people are not ready to hear the bright
side and just need you to listen.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
4. Adaptability
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You prefer to go with the flow. You tend to be a “now” person who takes things as they come and who
discovers the future one day at a time.
It’s very likely that you may appreciate people who are not worrywarts. You might work
better with individuals who avoid fretting over unimportant details. These people might
approach everyday situations or crises with an inner calmness that frees you to modify
plans, rules, processes, or assignments.
Because of your strengths, you are a free spirit who is seldom thrown off balance by
unexpected events and comments. Instead, you react to things as they occur. You are quite
comfortable letting your future unfold at its own pace.
Chances are good that you might deal with the requests or problems of others as soon as
you learn about them.
Driven by your talents, you are a free spirit who is seldom thrown off balance by unexpected
events and comments. Instead, you react to things as they occur. You are quite
comfortable letting your future unfold at its own pace.
By nature, you labor tirelessly on whatever needs to be accomplished today. You likely are
willing to change your plans when the people around you change theirs. You ordinarily
remain quite calm when others reverse their decisions, modify their schedules, or cancel
their appointments.
You are flexible and can quickly adjust to changing or unexpected circumstances that
upset or intimidate others. Your calm response to chaos reassures others and helps you
respond to what people need.
• You’re so willing to live in the moment that you might constantly shift your priorities. Be
aware that frequent changes can feel endless and often unnecessary to those who thrive
on structure and stability.
• You may have a tendency to miss deadlines or run late for appointments. Make sure you
keep track of the most important due dates and meetings.
EXECUTING
5. Achiever
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You work hard and possess a great deal of stamina. You take immense satisfaction in being busy and
productive.
Instinctively, you might have more staying power than some of the people with whom you
interact. Perhaps you choose to expend your physical or mental energy on selected issues,
chores, projects, or activities.
Because of your strengths, you earnestly apply yourself to seeing things as they really are.
You bring a practical, matter-of-fact, and unsentimental outlook to various discussions,
projects, or planning meetings.
Driven by your talents, you might devote some of your attention to immediate tasks or
challenges. This partially explains why you give yourself time to comprehend what you read
on the printed page or the computer screen. Diligence, persistence, and concentration
might be three of your distinguishing traits.
By nature, you probably have a reputation for working hours and hours when the
assignment adds special meaning to your work, studies, or life in general.
It’s very likely that you are quite clever about many things. You typically outmaneuver or
outthink most individuals. Why? You probably are a lot more persistent, unyielding, and
energetic than they are.
You love to complete tasks, and your accomplishments fulfill you. You have a strong inner
drive — an innate source of intensity, energy and power that motivates you to work hard to
get things done.
Bring intensity and effort to the most important areas of your life.
• Set challenging goals. Take advantage of your self-motivation with a more ambitious goal
every time you finish a project.
• Take time to celebrate each success before moving on to your next item or task, even for
just a few minutes.
• Limit your commitments to projects or assignments that align with your highest priorities
as much as you can.
• Be sure to take regular breaks, even though you might be naturally equipped to work harder
and longer than others.
• Make sure your to-do lists include tasks and responsibilities beyond work.
• You might get frustrated when others don’t work as hard as you do, and they might see you
as too demanding. Remember that not everyone has the same high expectations for
themselves or is driven to work as hard as you are.
• Your pressing need to get things done might cause you to take on projects or agree to
deadlines before you know everything that’s involved. Before you commit to something,
make sure you have the time and resources you need to do it right.
EXECUTING
6. Belief
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You have certain core values that are unchanging. Out of these values emerges a defined purpose for
your life.
Your core values guide you and give you purpose. You provide clarity, conviction and
stability by living your values.
Honor your values; they keep you on course during tough times.
• Keep reminders of your personal mission around. In difficult situations, these reminders will
help you focus on your objective and the valuable contribution you make.
• Have courage in your ability to select projects to work on. Ask about their intended
outcomes and target audiences. When possible, get involved in ideas and projects that
match your values.
• Try to keep an appropriate balance between your work and personal life. Both areas will
benefit when you dedicate enough time and attention to each.
• Because you are passionate about your own beliefs, others might view you as stubborn or
set in your ways. Keep in mind that everyone has a unique worldview, and often, it will not
be the same as yours.
• Be careful not to pass judgment on others’ principles and motivations. Their values and
belief systems deserve your respect, even when you don’t agree with them.
EXECUTING
7. Responsibility
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You take psychological ownership of what you say you will do. You are committed to stable values such
as honesty and loyalty.
You have a deep sense of dedication and feel ownership for your commitments. You are a
person of your word, and others know they can rely on and trust you.
• Because you find it difficult to turn down others’ requests, sometimes you overcommit. Try
to manage your Responsibility talents by giving up something before you take on a new
task.
• Too many obligations can keep you from spending time with the most important people in
your life. Remember that sometimes, no is the best answer for the health of your
relationships.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
8. Includer
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You accept others. You show awareness of those who feel left out and make an effort to include them.
You notice those who are left out, and you naturally invite them in and make them feel
welcome. Your ability to accept people without judgment fosters tolerance and open-
mindedness.
Stretch the circle wider. Find ways to get more people involved.
• Look for opportunities to bring people from diverse cultures and backgrounds together.
You might be a natural leader in connecting and enlightening individuals from different
walks of life.
• Help those who are new to a group get to know others. You are great at quickly making
people feel accepted and involved.
• Be a spokesperson for those whose voices are not usually heard. Emphasize the
importance of including everyone’s feelings and opinions.
• You might tend to include others to the point of unnecessary complexity, with too many
opinions and conflicting efforts. Acknowledge that sometimes, you will need to be
selective for the sake of clarity and efficiency.
• Even though you cast few judgments, be careful not to criticize those who belong to
exclusive groups and clubs. While you likely disagree with what they stand for and might
view them as elitist, remember that everyone has the right to choose whom they spend
time with.
INFLUENCING
9. Maximizer
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You focus on strengths as a way to stimulate personal and group excellence. You seek to transform
something strong into something superb.
You focus on quality, and you prefer working with and for the best. By seeing what each
person naturally does best and empowering them to do it, you make individuals, teams and
groups better.
• Your desire to exhaust all possible outcomes can frustrate those who want to come to a
suitable conclusion and move forward. Sometimes, you will need to accept that “good
enough” is adequate and appropriate.
• You might be disappointed when a project or initiative falls short of your definition of
excellence. Try not to get discouraged when you have to work on or sign off on something
that is acceptable, but not ideal, in your eyes.
STRATEGIC THINKING
10. Learner
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. The process of learning, rather than
the outcome, excites you.
You love to learn, and you intuitively know how you learn best. Your natural ability to pick up
and absorb information quickly and to challenge yourself to continually learn more keeps
you on the cutting edge.
Use your passion for learning to add value to your own and others’ lives.
• Become an early adopter of new technology, and keep your coworkers, friends and family
informed. You learn quickly, and others will appreciate when you share and explain cutting-
edge developments to them.
• Respect your desire to learn. Take advantage of educational opportunities in your
community or at work. Discipline yourself to sign up for at least one new course or class
each year.
• Find opportunities to expand your knowledge. Take on increasingly difficult topics, courses
or projects. You love the challenge of a steep learning curve, so beware of learning
plateaus.
• You place a high value on learning and studying, and you may tend to impose this value on
others. Be sure to respect others’ motivations, and resist pushing them toward learning for
learning’s sake.
• You love the process of learning so much that the outcome might not matter to you. Be
careful not to let the process of knowledge acquisition get in the way of your results and
productivity.

The best teams are made up of individuals who understand their own — and others’ — unique contribution
to the team. This awareness and appreciation empowers the team to be more cohesive, versatile,
productive and engaged.
However, be careful not to let the four domains limit your thinking. If you don’t have any top themes in a
particular domain, don’t worry. That doesn’t mean you can’t think strategically or build relationships, for
example. Everyone accomplishes tasks, influences others, builds relationships and processes information.
You just use your stronger themes in different domains to get to the same outcome.
The next page shows you how your unique CliftonStrengths profile sorts into the four domains. Knowing
which domain you lead with can help you understand your most powerful contribution.
