EXECUTING 1. Restorative HOW YOU CAN THRIVE You are adept at dealing with problems. You are good at figuring out what is wrong and resolving it. WHY YOUR RESTORATIVE IS UNIQUE These personalized Strengths Insights are specific to your CliftonStrengths results. Because of your strengths, you are fascinated with the way things operate. You frequently have insights about how to upgrade a process, mechanism, regulation, program, or project. Individuals, situations, and things have benefited from your betterment plans. It’s very likely that you conclude that life is a lot more fulfilling when you concentrate on conquering your shortcomings. This explains why self-improvement programs appeal to you so much. You probably gravitate to those that teach techniques you can immediately put into practice. Driven by your talents, you naturally figure out what you need to upgrade, enhance, or do better. You are eager to get started once you have established the importance of each task or activity. You prefer to concentrate your energy and time on one or two areas of opportunity. By nature, you truly trust that your skills, knowledge, and talents help you progress toward your goals. Although you are aware of your abilities and satisfied with your accomplishments, you intentionally pause to reflect on things you could and need to do better — and you make the changes you deem necessary. Chances are good that you are eager to upgrade your skills and broaden your knowledge base. You seek to minimize or eliminate your deficiencies. You are keenly aware of your flaws. You work hard to correct them. You continually look for things you can do much better. WHY YOU SUCCEED USING RESTORATIVE You love to solve problems. Your ability to analyze a situation, identify potential shortcomings and modify as needed makes you powerful in times of difficulty and crisis.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL Remember that every problem has a solution. Find the answers.

• Look for roles in which your success depends on your ability to solve problems. You might particularly enjoy medicine, consulting, computer programming or customer service. • Seek out tough turnaround situations that others might avoid. You will enjoy the challenge of revitalizing something, and you will build your reputation as a valuable partner. • Celebrate your successes. Difficult problems might entice you, but also acknowledge easy-to-solve issues that have big results. • Tell others that you enjoy fixing problems, and offer to help. Many people shy away from difficulties, but problem-solving comes naturally to you. • Give yourself a break. You might be overly self-critical and your own toughest critic. Try to redirect your energy toward things about yourself that you know you can fix or toward external, tangible problems. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • Others might think that all you see are their flaws and shortcomings. Remember that there are times when people need you to see their successes and give them praise. • You tend to focus on processes, not people, and you might automatically rush to solve every problem. Sometimes others need to solve their own problems, so try to give people space to experiment and find their own solutions.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

EXECUTING 2. 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. WHY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS UNIQUE These personalized Strengths Insights are specific to your CliftonStrengths results. Chances are good that you bring an exceptionally mature perspective to your team. Most people regard you as the dependable and reliable one. Because of your strengths, you choose your friends with care and caution. Like you, these individuals have a reputation for honoring their commitments. Like you, they do exactly what they say they will do. Your most enduring friendships are built on a foundation of mutual trust. By nature, you are comfortable being open and honest about who you are. Often you intentionally avoid people who are less than truthful. You prefer to spend time with individuals who speak as candidly as you do about their strengths, shortcomings, hopes, disappointments, failures, or successes. Driven by your talents, you conduct yourself in an exceptionally mature and orderly fashion even when your teammates, classmates, friends, coworkers, and colleagues are acting childish. It’s very likely that you draw on your reserve of personal accountability when pressed to complete tasks. Fulfilling your commitments spurs you to do whatever it takes to complete projects. You realize others depend on you. This explains why you seldom rest until your work is done. WHY YOU SUCCEED USING RESPONSIBILITY 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.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL Take ownership for the things that matter most to you. • Always check your schedule and to-do list before taking on a new request. This will help you realistically meet all of your commitments without overworking yourself and demonstrate to others that you are serious about your responsibilities. • Align yourself with those who share your sense of commitment. You will thrive when you are surrounded by others who take their responsibilities as seriously as you do. • Be an ethical watchdog for your school, organization or community by taking action to eliminate and prevent any unethical behavior you see. • Let your teacher or manager know that your natural sense of responsibility gives you an exceptional capacity to function independently. • Be selective. Because you are instinctively responsible, it might be difficult for you to refuse requests from others. Sometimes you need to remind yourself to say no. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • 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.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

RELATIONSHIP BUILDING 3. Developer HOW YOU CAN THRIVE You recognize and cultivate the potential in others. You spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from evidence of progress. WHY YOUR DEVELOPER IS UNIQUE These personalized Strengths Insights are specific to your CliftonStrengths results. Driven by your talents, you habitually create up-close and personal relationships with people. Knowing what makes individuals unique usually provides you with clues about the best way to support or inspire each person. Because of your strengths, you adore being surrounded by bright, young minds. You want to invest in the future of these individuals by educating and training them. Your enthusiasm for acquiring knowledge and skills is likely to motivate these people. Instinctively, you have keen awareness and insights into the moods of individuals. You tend to be highly responsive to others’ thoughts and feelings. Not everyone can sit with a person as he or she experiences a full range of emotions: happiness, anger, frustration, gratitude, contentment, sadness, elation, despair, or grief. You rarely distance yourself from those who you sense need you to be there for them. It’s very likely that you have little need to draw attention to yourself and your accomplishments. Instead, you lavish compliments on your associates. You support them and their projects with your words and deeds. You are more likely to acknowledge the talents and contributions of easygoing individuals who refuse to take themselves too seriously. Chances are good that you regularly look for opportunities to give people special attention. You celebrate their accomplishments. You tell them why you appreciate their knowledge, skills, and talents. You acknowledge their opinions and solicit their suggestions.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING DEVELOPER You see the raw potential in people and even small signs of progress as you actively invest in their development. Your encouragement helps others learn, grow and improve.

TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL Recognize and cultivate the potential in others.

• Make a list of people you would like to coach or mentor — people whose potential, signs of growth and strengths you have noticed. Offer to meet with them regularly, even if only for a few minutes, to discuss their goals and strengths. • Call, text or email people who need your encouragement the most. Your natural ability to nurture and inspire might be just what they need to hear. • Try not to spend all your time encouraging people who are consistently struggling in their role. Sometimes the best developmental action is to help them find a different role — one that fits. • Find roles in which your primary responsibilities include developing others. Teaching, coaching or managing might be especially satisfying for you. • Boost your friends’ and coworkers’ confidence. You will naturally notice when they learn and grow, so share your specific observations with them to help them keep making progress. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • You may become overinvested in someone’s development and feel personally responsible if they are struggling. Accept that sometimes, the best option is for them to find their own path forward. • Be careful not to devote so much time to other people that you forget to invest in your own development. Remember that you can’t help others if you don’t take time to work on yourself.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

RELATIONSHIP BUILDING 4. Relator HOW YOU CAN THRIVE You enjoy close relationships with others. You find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal. WHY YOUR RELATOR IS UNIQUE These personalized Strengths Insights are specific to your CliftonStrengths results. Chances are good that you bond with and work well with people who tell you what they want to accomplish in life. Instinctively, you feel most fulfilled when you are busy and simply performing routine tasks. When you have nothing to do, typically you find something to do. Sitting around and wasting time does not suit you at all. By nature, you are determined to share your knowledge and skills with people you coach, mentor, or train. It’s very likely that you are drawn to the process of gaining knowledge and skills. You long to build on what you already know. You yearn to improve on what you already can do. When you meet people who value education as much as you do, you are eager to hear about their personal or professional ambitions, intentions, or goals. Understanding what others aim to accomplish in the coming weeks, months, or years can be the beginning of a practical partnership or an enduring friendship. Because of your strengths, you frequently consider ways to enhance your ability to reduce difficult-to-understand ideas, processes, or plans to their most basic elements. You generally seek opportunities to make things simple and easy to comprehend. WHY YOU SUCCEED USING RELATOR You naturally form genuine and mutually rewarding one-on-one relationships. Your authenticity allows you to build close, long-lasting connections that foster trust and confidence.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL Connect deeply with the right people to gain friends for life.

• Try to get one-on-one time with people, rather than attempting to connect with them in a group. This will help you build the deeper and trusting relationships you value most. • Stay in contact with your friends, no matter how busy you are. Your closest relationships energize you. • Make sure people know that you are more interested in their character and personality than in their status or job title. You might serve as a model for others. • Let your caring show. For example, find someone to mentor, help your coworkers get to know one another better or deepen your existing relationships. • Look for workplaces, classes, teams or groups that encourage friendships. You prefer a casual style and culture and will likely not do well in overly formal situations. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • Because Relators typically do not trust others implicitly and people have to earn your trust over time, some may think you are hard to get to know. Be aware of this perception with new people you meet as well as with the people you see every day. • Your tendency to spend more time with the people you know best might give the impression that you are exclusive or unfriendly to those outside your inner circle. Consider that you might be missing out on the benefits of widening the circle and getting to know more people.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

STRATEGIC THINKING 5. 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. WHY YOUR LEARNER IS UNIQUE These personalized Strengths Insights are specific to your CliftonStrengths results. Instinctively, you frequently work without much rest. You typically want to pinpoint useful and intriguing facts. You likely have a need to explain why various events unfolded as they did. This information undoubtedly permits you to produce more and better results. Chances are good that you frequently examine the factors leading up to an event. Therein you discover the reasons why things happened the way they did. A number of individuals and/or groups probably appreciate your logical thinking style. Driven by your talents, you have the extra energy to work hard whenever you are acquiring information to broaden your base of knowledge. You desire to deepen your understanding of various topics, opportunities, problems, solutions, situations, events, or people. By nature, you simply cannot have too much information. It is impossible. Like a miner searches for gold day after day, you continually collect new bits of knowledge. Depending on your other talents, you can delve into one or two interesting topics, or you can opt to know a little about a wide range of subjects. Your longing for knowledge is unlikely to be satisfied until you are recognized by others as the ultimate expert in a field or the grand champion of trivia. It’s very likely that you adopt a much more favorable outlook on life when you can identify the conditions that produced various outcomes. You probably need to know why something did or did not happen. You are impelled to examine the details of many events, processes, programs, or mechanisms.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

WHY YOU SUCCEED USING LEARNER 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.

TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL 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. • Be a catalyst for change. New rules, skills or circumstances might intimidate others. Your willingness to absorb new and different factors can calm their fears. • Keep track of your learning progress. If a skill or topic has distinct levels or stages of learning, celebrate your progression from one level to the next. If not, create them for yourself. For example, set a goal of reading five books on a new subject. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • 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.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

RELATIONSHIP BUILDING 6. Empathy HOW YOU CAN THRIVE You can sense other people’s feelings by imagining yourself in others’ lives or situations. WHY YOU SUCCEED USING EMPATHY You have great emotional depth. Your awareness of the expression, value and implications of others’ emotions makes them feel like you understand them. TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL Appreciate and refine your gift for understanding others’ thoughts and feelings. • Create a list of great questions that help others describe their emotions and experiences. Experiment using these questions with friends. Refine your list by keeping the questions that best help others express their thoughts and feelings. • Practice refining the words you use to name your own feelings as well as those you observe in others. Try this: Journal your emotions for one week. Stop throughout the day to capture what you are feeling. Try to use different words to describe your experience each time. • Be sure to decompress at the end of each day. Develop a routine that allows you to unwind and relax. If you don’t, at times, the depth of your emotions might overwhelm or drain you. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • Pay attention to your energy levels. Constantly experiencing others’ emotions can be draining, so try to occasionally disconnect from all the emotions so you don’t get burned out. • Because you are so sensitive to others’ emotions, some people might think you are prying or overinvolved in their lives. Be careful not to overstep when others prefer to keep their feelings to themselves.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

EXECUTING 7. Achiever HOW YOU CAN THRIVE You work hard and possess a great deal of stamina. You take immense satisfaction in being busy and productive. WHY YOU SUCCEED USING ACHIEVER 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. TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL 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. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • 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.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

EXECUTING 8. Arranger HOW YOU CAN THRIVE You can organize, but you also have a flexibility that complements this ability. You like to determine how all of the pieces and resources can be arranged for maximum productivity. WHY YOU SUCCEED USING ARRANGER You have a natural ability to coordinate people and resources for maximum effectiveness. Your creative flexibility in complex situations leads to greater efficiency. TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL Improve effectiveness and efficiency by reorganizing resources. • Volunteer your talent to organize. You enjoy being part of a team, and you can keep a group project moving toward its goal when you make suggestions for improving your work environment. • Look for opportunities where you can multitask. Because of your expertise at juggling schedules and people, you will enjoy managing all the moving parts. • Explain to others that your flexibility doesn’t mean your priorities are constantly changing. You are simply looking for better ways to implement them. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • Your tendency to continually reorganize tasks, projects and people might confuse others. Take time to explain your approach and how it can work better. • People with dominant Arranger talents tend to claim responsibility for and take personal ownership of projects, processes and people. Be aware that when you assume control without asking, you might irritate others or discourage them from taking responsibility.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

EXECUTING 9. Deliberative HOW YOU CAN THRIVE You are best described by the serious care you take in making decisions or choices. You anticipate obstacles. WHY YOU SUCCEED USING DELIBERATIVE You are thorough and conscientious. Through your natural anticipation and careful thought process, you know how to reduce risks and prevent problems from arising. TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL Stop, listen and assess before taking action. • Rely on your good judgment, caution and conservative decision-making during times of change. Your ability to identify and reduce risk is a powerful advantage. • Be sure to set aside time for yourself. Try this: Reserve 20 minutes each day to sort through your projects, plans and ideas. Use this time to gather information on options, assess different situations or solidify choices you need to make. When you have the opportunity and freedom to calculate, you will make better decisions. • Help others think through what they want to do. Whatever your role is, you can become a valuable sounding board because you identify and assess potential risks that others might not see. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • Because you take time to think carefully before making a decision, people might perceive you as forgetful, slow or afraid to act. Be prepared to explain that you are none of those things and that you are just considering all of the potential next steps. • Your cautious and serious outlook on life might give the impression that you are a distant, private and unapproachable person who doesn’t give much praise. Keep this in mind, especially when the important people in your life need your approval and validation.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

STRATEGIC THINKING 10. Context HOW YOU CAN THRIVE You enjoy thinking about the past. You understand the present by researching its history. WHY YOU SUCCEED USING CONTEXT You look to history to understand the present. Your distinctive ability to see the link between where you have been and where you are going is extremely valuable for planning and decision-making. • Help your school, team or organization strengthen its culture via folklore. For example, collect symbols and stories about the past, or suggest naming an award after someone you can memorialize for their contributions. • Find a mentor who has lived in your community or worked in your organization for a long time. Listening to this person’s experiences will likely spark your thought process and accelerate your learning. • Study your past successes. Try to identify the specific actions or behaviors that contributed to them so you can draw on them again. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • Some people might think that you live in the past and are resistant to change. Consider explaining the value of understanding history and what has — and has not — worked in the past, but keep an open mind when new situations arise. • You are often fascinated by history and the lessons it reveals, but others may find this information boring or overwhelming. Keep this in mind as you share your perspectives, and look for signs that you’ve lost people’s attention or interest. TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL Look to the past to build a better tomorrow.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

Navigate the Rest of Your CliftonStrengths

Your greatest opportunity to reach your full potential is developing and using your strongest CliftonStrengths. But it is also important to understand all 34 of your CliftonStrengths themes. Your unique CliftonStrengths 34 profile The themes toward the top of your CliftonStrengths 34 profile might show up regularly in your life, and the ones closer to the bottom might not show up at all. To fully understand your talent DNA, consider how all your CliftonStrengths themes, separately or in combination, influence your work and personal life. In addition to concentrating on your top 10 themes: • Navigate the middle. You might notice these CliftonStrengths themes in your behaviors from time to time. And you may need to rely on them in certain situations. Think of these themes as a support system you can use when you need to. • Manage the bottom. Just as your top CliftonStrengths show you who you are, those at the bottom may tell you who you are not. They aren’t necessarily weaknesses, but they are your least powerful themes. If you don’t manage them properly, they could prevent you from maximizing your potential. • Identify weaknesses. To determine if any themes are getting in your way, review the “What Is a Weakness?” section on the next page, and find out how to overcome potential obstacles to your success. To learn more about your entire CliftonStrengths profile, see the “Your CliftonStrengths 34 Theme Sequence” section at the end of the report.

VANESSA WILLIS | 02-15-2020

What Is a Weakness?

Focusing on your CliftonStrengths doesn’t mean you can ignore your weaknesses. Gallup defines a weakness as anything that gets in the way of your success. While the CliftonStrengths assessment does not mathematically quantify weaknesses, you can use your profile to understand how any of your CliftonStrengths themes might prevent you from maximizing your potential. Your strongest CliftonStrengths are your best opportunity for success. But in some situations and with some people, these same themes can hinder your effectiveness and become blind spots. The themes at the bottom of your profile can also get in the way of your success. They aren’t necessarily weaknesses, but they likely do not come naturally to you. • Have I ever received negative feedback related to this theme? • Does my role require me to use this theme, but I feel drained when I do? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be discovering areas of weakness. Don’t ignore your weaknesses. Instead, focus on your strengths, and work to manage the areas that get in your way. How do I manage my weaknesses? • Claim them: Know your weaknesses and how they get in your way • Collaborate: Ask partners for support • Apply a strength: Use a different theme to achieve a better outcome • Just do it: Lean in and do your best To identify potential weaknesses, ask yourself: • Does this theme ever undermine my success?

Identify Your Unique Contribution: The CliftonStrengths Domains While your CliftonStrengths 34 profile helps you understand who you are, there is also power in knowing how you make things happen, influence others, build relationships and process information. The framework of the four CliftonStrengths domains — Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building and Strategic Thinking — is another way to think about your CliftonStrengths and how you contribute when you join, create or lead a team. 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.
