Many years of research conducted by The Gallup Organization suggest that the most effective people
are those who understand their strengths and behaviors. These people are best able to develop
strategies to meet and exceed the demands of their daily lives, their careers, and their families.

A review of the knowledge and skills you have acquired can provide a basic sense of your abilities,
but an awareness and understanding of your natural talents will provide true insight into the core
reasons behind your consistent successes.

Your Signature Themes report presents your five most dominant themes of talent, in the rank order
revealed by your responses to StrengthsFinder. Of the 34 themes measured, these are your "top
five."

Your Signature Themes are very important in maximizing the talents that lead to your successes. By
focusing on your Signature Themes, separately and in combination, you can identify your talents,
build them into strengths, and enjoy personal and career success through consistent, near-perfect
performance.

Harmony
You look for areas of agreement. In your view there is little to be gained from conflict and friction, so
you seek to hold them to a minimum. When you know that the people around you hold differing views,
you try to find the common ground. You try to steer them away from confrontation and toward
harmony. In fact, harmony is one of your guiding values. You can’t quite believe how much time is
wasted by people trying to impose their views on others. Wouldn’t we all be more productive if we
kept our opinions in check and instead looked for consensus and support? You believe we would, and
you live by that belief. When others are sounding off about their goals, their claims, and their fervently
held opinions, you hold your peace. When others strike out in a direction, you will willingly, in the
service of harmony, modify your own objectives to merge with theirs (as long as their basic values do
not clash with yours). When others start to argue about their pet theory or concept, you steer clear of
the debate, preferring to talk about practical, down-to-earth matters on which you can all agree. In
your view we are all in the same boat, and we need this boat to get where we are going. It is a good
boat. There is no need to rock it just to show that you can.

Discipline
Your world needs to be predictable. It needs to be ordered and planned. So you instinctively impose
structure on your world. You set up routines. You focus on timelines and deadlines. You break long-
term projects into a series of specific short-term plans, and you work through each plan diligently. You
are not necessarily neat and clean, but you do need precision. Faced with the inherent messiness of
life, you want to feel in control. The routines, the timelines, the structure, all of these help create this
feeling of control. Lacking this theme of Discipline, others may sometimes resent your need for order,
but there need not be conflict. You must understand that not everyone feels your urge for
predictability; they have other ways of getting things done. Likewise, you can help them understand
and even appreciate your need for structure. Your dislike of surprises, your impatience with errors,
your routines, and your detail orientation don’t need to be misinterpreted as controlling behaviors that
box people in. Rather, these behaviors can be understood as your instinctive method for maintaining
your progress and your productivity in the face of life’s many distractions.

Woo
Woo stands for winning others over. You enjoy the challenge of meeting new people and getting them
to like you. Strangers are rarely intimidating to you. On the contrary, strangers can be energizing. You
are drawn to them. You want to learn their names, ask them questions, and find some area of
common interest so that you can strike up a conversation and build rapport. Some people shy away
from starting up conversations because they worry about running out of things to say. You don’t. Not
only are you rarely at a loss for words; you actually enjoy initiating with strangers because you derive
satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection. Once that connection is made, you are
quite happy to wrap it up and move on. There are new people to meet, new rooms to work, new
crowds to mingle in. In your world there are no strangers, only friends you haven’t met yet—lots of
them.

Communication
You like to explain, to describe, to host, to speak in public, and to write. This is your Communication
theme at work. Ideas are a dry beginning. Events are static. You feel a need to bring them to life, to
energize them, to make them exciting and vivid. And so you turn events into stories and practice
telling them. You take the dry idea and enliven it with images and examples and metaphors. You
believe that most people have a very short attention span. They are bombarded by information, but
very little of it survives. You want your information—whether an idea, an event, a product’s features
and benefits, a discovery, or a lesson—to survive. You want to divert their attention toward you and

then capture it, lock it in. This is what drives your hunt for the perfect phrase. This is what draws you
toward dramatic words and powerful word combinations. This is why people like to listen to you. Your
word pictures pique their interest, sharpen their world, and inspire them to act.

Consistency
Balance is important to you. You are keenly aware of the need to treat people the same, no matter
what their station in life, so you do not want to see the scales tipped too far in any one person’s favor.
In your view this leads to selfishness and individualism. It leads to a world where some people gain an
unfair advantage because of their connections or their background or their greasing of the wheels.
This is truly offensive to you. You see yourself as a guardian against it. In direct contrast to this world
of special favors, you believe that people function best in a consistent environment where the rules
are clear and are applied to everyone equally. This is an environment where people know what is
expected. It is predictable and evenhanded. It is fair. Here each person has an even chance to show
his or her worth.
