As I was organizing my office, I found my Clifton Strengths assessment that I took years ago. It was interesting to reread and be reminded of my strengths, especially at the beginning of a new year when all of the messages we hear are focused on what we need to fix rather than building on what we already have present within us.

Clifton Strengths measures your specific order of 34 CliftonStrengths themes. It explains the unique ways you accomplish your goals by building relationships, thinking strategically, executing plans and influencing others. My top five themes are strategic, achiever, connectedness, belief and empathy.
