My top 5 strengths:
I can see individualization in all aspects of my life. To me, it means finding out what makes each person different and unique. It is determining what motivates each of us. I am listener and I can listen to people talk about their lives all day. I enjoy seeing the different histories of each person and how it relates to where they are now and how it impacts the decisions they make everyday. I can use individualization to help acknowledge people's strengths and weakness and capitalize on these for the benefits of the group.

 

Being an achiever means making productivity a goal everyday. Although productivity can look different in different settings. I cannot stand to procrastinate. I love making lists and crossing things off my list. I enjoy being productive and feeling like I made a difference. It is definitely one of the reasons I chose nursing, I can feel like I achieved and made a difference in someone else's life everyday. I can utilize achiever strength to ensure the project meets deadlines and it is a success. I lead by example and can help the team experience satisfaction from a job well done.

 

Harmony is my number 3. To me, this means maintaining a balance between views and personalities. In my family and friend groups, I am usually the mediator and the person that brings everyone together. It also means avoiding conflict by using techniques of communication and listening. I can use harmony to help the group become cohesive and I can assist Carter in the group communication.

 

Responsibility to me means getting the job done and not only getting it done, but getting it done correctly. I would rather spend a few extra minutes to ensure the job is done accurately. I have high standards and am a bit of a perfectionist so I know I will consistently do a good job. People can count on me to follow through with a project. I am delegated tasks because I can be held accountable. I can help the group maintain high standards and stay committed to the group throughout the entire process.

 

I am a constant learner. I consider myself a lifelong learner. I love working in the ICU because it is an ever-changing and exciting environment in which there are always new things to learn. You get out of it what you put in. I am always looking up rationales for medications I am administering or procedures we are doing. I have to understand the logic and rationale for everything I do. For this reason, I am always learning new information. With that said, I love teaching others what I have learned. I can help the group continually learn and improve upon the project.
