Showcase Friday: Joyful Julia

What's your top 5?
Activator
Communication 
Woo
Maximizer
Positivity

How do you see them playing in your life?
In every way! I am constantly doing something (Activator), highly value clear communication and enjoy conversing one on one and in groups (Communication),  love to make new friends (WOO), am constantly trying to make things better around my house with DIY projects (Maximizer), and believe positivity is one of the most powerful choices you can make and energy you can have.

This assessment definitely pinned me!

What's your favorite Strength?
Positivity. Makes every situation in life better, and is fuel for the fire of life.

What's the one Strength that "get's in your way"?
Communication – I find myself communicating too much sometimes, being too direct. To me it seems that communication makes things better, but I have come to realize that there’s always a time and a place.

How has knowing your top 5 empowered you to live a more authentic life?  
It mostly has helped me to rely on and have confidence in my strengths. Instead of just thinking that I excel at something or enjoy it, I now can view it as a strength.  I can also look to these areas to further develop to allow let my strengths shine.
