Talent Tuesday: Discipline

What do we mean by Discipline? 

The Clifton StrengthsFinder results describe this talent theme as follows; “Your world needs to be predictable. It needs to be ordered and planned.

Talent Tuesday: Deliberative

What do we mean by Deliberative? 

The Clifton StrengthsFinder results describe this talent theme as follows; “You are careful. You are vigilant. You are a private person. You know that the world is an unpredictable place.

Talent Tuesday: Context

What do we mean by Context? 

The Clifton StrengthsFinder results describe this talent theme as follows; “You look back. You look back because that is where the answers lie. You look back to understand the present.

Talent Tuesday: Consistency

What do we mean by Consistency?

Talent Tuesday: Competition

What do we mean by Competition? 

The Clifton StrengthsFinder results describe this talent theme as follows; “Competition is rooted in comparison. When you look at the world, you are instinctively aware of other people’s performance.

Like all competitors, you need other people. You need to compare. If …
