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.
Instinctively, you might appear enthusiastic about your life. Some people find your energy
contagious. Periodically you ask, “What is there not to like about life?” Perhaps you are
puzzled by people who see life as a struggle and seldom experience its joys.
By nature, you may bring an air of excitement to contests when the aim is to have fun.
Perhaps you feel good about activities that do not involve keeping scores to decide who
wins and who loses.
Driven by your talents, you are talkative and comfortable in certain social situations.
Perhaps your upbeat approach to life or your effervescence — that is, liveliness — makes
you someone people want to know better.
Chances are good that you are occasionally surprised when your upbeat attitude inspires
people. You might generate good feelings in people by emphasizing their successes,
contributions, and favorable traits. Eager to bond with others, perhaps you make the time to
offer sincere compliments or send congratulatory messages.
Because of your strengths, you really enjoy starting discussions with newcomers. You
probably engage outsiders in small talk. You are determined to make each person feel
comfortable in your presence. After chatting with you, most individuals sense they have
made a new friend.
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.
By nature, you might keep the dialogue going when talking with visionaries about what will
be possible in the distant future. Maybe you share some of your own experiences,
examples, or stories to make a point. Maybe you ask questions to help forward-looking
thinkers refine their imaginative propositions.
It’s very likely that you occasionally feel comfortable telling certain individuals stories about
your personal habits, qualities, experiences, or background. Your forthcoming nature might
enable some people to share their thoughts and feelings with you.
Driven by your talents, you sometimes enjoy chatting with people. A fine day for you might
include several opportunities to engage in dialogue. Perhaps you feel more enthused about
life when your need to express yourself is appreciated rather than viewed as a shortcoming.
Because of your strengths, you may feel comfortable speaking to a variety of individuals or
audiences.
Chances are good that you freely share your ideas or feelings with others. Being tongue-
tied — that is, unable to speak freely — is rarely a problem for you. Words quickly come to
mind when you are with people. Your ease with language enables you to meet, greet, and
treat strangers as if they already were your friends.
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.
STRATEGIC THINKING
3. Futuristic
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You are inspired by the future and what could be. You energize others with your visions of the future.
By nature, you may center your attention on what you want to accomplish in the coming
months, years, or decades. Being free of annoying distractions might contribute to your
enthusiasm for life in general or the future in particular.
Chances are good that you might be eager to get started on a project once you realize
what can be accomplished in the coming weeks, months, or years. Perhaps you work hard
to turn your big dreams into reality. To some degree, they both push and pull you into the
future.
Driven by your talents, you may channel some of your mental and physical energies toward
what you might accomplish in the coming months, years, or decades. Sometimes you may
ask yourself, “How far into the future can I think before some of my ideas start becoming
vague or uninspiring?”
Instinctively, you may have had a forward-looking thinker in your life as a coach, teacher, or
manager. Maybe this individual saw your potential and cared about you for your own sake.
Sometimes this person challenged you to imagine what you could accomplish in the
coming years or decades. When you evaluate your life today, the effect this special coach,
teacher, or manager had on you might be apparent.
It’s very likely that you occasionally put great effort into conjuring mental images of the
future. Perhaps some people lack your ability to envision what will be possible in the
coming months, years, or decades. As a result, they may rely on you to do this visioning for
them.
You are a visionary. Your powerful anticipation and detailed visualization of a better future
can turn aspirations into reality. Your vision of tomorrow can inspire and push others to new
heights.
• Because you live in the future, you may find it difficult to enjoy the present moment. While it
will always be important for you to have things to look forward to, don’t overlook
opportunities to experience and appreciate where you are now.
• Some people may dismiss your visions because they can’t see the future like you do.
Accept that you must address real issues today to get to a better tomorrow.
STRATEGIC THINKING
4. Input
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You have a need to collect and archive. You may accumulate information, ideas, artifacts or even
relationships.
Because of your strengths, you pay close attention to current events. Numerous people
merely recount what they heard, saw, or read. Typically you dive deeper into the topic. You
are likely to generate theories, concepts, or philosophies to explain the reasoning behind
newsmakers’ decisions. You routinely gather information about events, policy statements,
people, or crises. Your fresh insights are likely to draw equally engaged thinkers into the
conversation.
Chances are good that you may derive enjoyment from certain types of reading material.
Perhaps the ideas of certain writers prompt you to think about things you could make
better or upgrade.
Instinctively, you may find it easier to befriend certain types of people if they tell you what
they want to accomplish. Knowing that much, you might read some books, journals,
newspapers, correspondence, or Internet sites to broaden your knowledge about their
interests. When you can share information that helps people move closer to their goals,
perhaps you can begin to understand each other a little better.
It’s very likely that you occasionally can be found reading. You might choose books that
have short chapters or publications with concise articles. You may realize that you
comprehend what you read better if you can concentrate on it for brief periods of time.
Perhaps your mind wanders when you force yourself to read for an hour or more without
taking a break.
Driven by your talents, you sometimes absorb the written word like a sponge absorbs
water. You might revel in an opportunity to lose yourself in a book. Time may seem to float
by when you are the grateful guest of an entertaining or informative author. Perhaps your
only choice is to finish the book as quickly as possible.
You seek and store information. Your pursuit of mastery and access to knowledge
empowers you to make credible and well-informed decisions.
• Unrestrained input can lead to intellectual or physical clutter. Consider occasionally taking
inventory and purging what you don’t need so that your surroundings — and your mind —
don’t become overloaded.
• You might have a tendency to give people so much information or so many resources that
you can overload and overwhelm them. Before you share your discoveries with others,
consider sorting out what is most meaningful so they don’t lose interest.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
5. Positivity
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You have contagious enthusiasm. You are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are
going to do.
Chances are good that you sometimes spark the enthusiasm of certain individuals.
Perhaps your own job, studies, or life becomes a bit more exhilarating when you help others
more fully experience their lives.
Because of your strengths, you may feel a little more optimistic about dealing with whatever
life hands you when you can keep current with breaking news. Perhaps having limited
access to broadcast media, newspapers, magazines, electronic mail, fax machines, mobile
phones, or people in the know creates stress for you.
It’s very likely that you sometimes go out of your way to support, inspire, motivate, or
embolden individuals or groups. Perhaps you regard this task as worthy of your effort and
time.
By nature, you may accept individuals just as they are. Maybe this is one reason why you
seem to get along with more people than others can. Sometimes you move beyond
tolerating people to enjoying their company.
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.
STRATEGIC THINKING
6. Strategic
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, you can quickly spot the
relevant patterns and issues.
You quickly weigh alternative paths and determine the best one. Your natural ability to
anticipate, play out different scenarios and plan ahead makes you an agile decision-maker.
Always have at least three options in mind so you can adapt if circumstances change.
• Strengthen the groups you belong to by using your talent to discover the best path to
success. Because you can do this quickly, it may look as if you are “winging it,” so explain
yourself along the way to help others understand what you see.
• Schedule time each day to think about your goals and strategies. Time alone might be the
best way for you to evaluate all your options and to find the right course of action for each
goal.
• Trust your insights. Because you consider options so naturally and easily, you might not
realize how you came up with a strategy. But because of your exceptional talents, it will likely
be successful.
• When working with others, sometimes they may misinterpret your strong Strategic talents
as criticism. Be mindful of what is already working well and what others have accomplished.
• Because you evaluate patterns and pathways so quickly, others might find it difficult to
follow or understand your thought process. Be aware that sometimes, you might have to
backtrack to explain how you got to where you are.
INFLUENCING
7. 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
8. Intellection
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You are characterized by your intellectual activity. You are introspective and appreciate intellectual
discussions.
You love to think, muse and reflect. Your powerful mental processing and intellectual
activity empower you to clarify and explain, regardless of the topic or situation.
• Because you are comfortable with silence and solitude, others might view you as isolated,
disinterested or disengaged. Be prepared to tell them that solitary thinking is just your
natural process and not necessarily a reflection of how much you care.
• Some people might think you create needless complexity during discussions and may
want you to make decisions faster than you do. Consider tailoring your approach;
sometimes it’s better to keep it simple and go more in depth later.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
9. Individualization
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You are intrigued with the unique qualities of each person. You have a gift for figuring out how different
people can work together productively.
You notice and appreciate each person’s unique characteristics, and you don’t treat
everyone the same. Because you can see what makes each individual unique, you know
how to bring out their best.
• You often know more about others than they know about you, and when people don’t
naturally show awareness of your likes, dislikes, motivations and needs, this may disappoint
you. Recognize that you will need to share your preferences with people, and don’t assume
they will instinctively know.
• Your natural impulse is to put individual needs and goals ahead of what is best for the
group. To prevent the appearance of favoritism and bias, acknowledge that sometimes you
will need to adjust your style for the greater good.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDING
10. Connectedness
HOW YOU CAN THRIVE
You have faith in the links among all things. You believe there are few coincidences and that almost
every event has meaning.
You build bridges between people and groups. You help others find meaning by looking at
the bigger picture of the world around them, and you give them a sense of comfort and
stability in the face of uncertainty.
• You may react more calmly and passively to others’ bad news, frustrations or concerns
than they would like. Be aware that people sometimes need to vent and will want you to
validate their feelings more than they want a philosophical response.
• Some may perceive you as naïve or idealistic because turmoil and upheaval likely trouble
you. Remember that not everyone shares your connected view of humanity or believes
that every negative event ultimately affects everyone.
11. Learner Your greatest opportunity to reach your full potential is developing and

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.
