My top 5 strenghts tells more about how I would perform in future tense to the Shopping Bag. My strengths consists of: Competition, Communication, Significance, Command, and WOO. I will sell the items as if i was selling to meet living standers. My WOO will accelerate into changing people minds to buy ,not only what they need, but also helping them to buy within there buget of what they want.
ReplyDeleteWell i will use my strength by focusing on the tasks to make the shopping bag more known. So that it will bring more an more customers there. Significance,focus and input are 3 of my 5 strenghts
ReplyDeleteMy top 5 strengths consist of: strategic, belief, responsibility, discipline, and ideation. Being strategic and responsible will come together helping the shopping bag with different things that may need to be accomplished or new ideas that are up in the air needing to be finalized. My thinking skills are going to be put to the test.
ReplyDeleteMy top 5 strengths are Input, Achiever, Intellection, Deliberative, and Consistency. My strength as an achiever will help me in tbe Shopping Bag because i will not leave until i have completed something that's what an achiever does. My consistency will help me because i will treat all people the same.
ReplyDeleteMy five strengths are responsibilty, individualization, achiever, cmpetition, and command. I think that this will help me with the shopping bag because being responsible means that I will complete the assignment given to me in a timely manner. Being an achiever will enable me to strive to get the job done even if I am feeling down about it. Having a sense of command will allow me to push those who are not as enthusiastic about that shopping bag. Using those three strengths to complete my assignment will help not just me as a person but also my grade.
ReplyDeleteMy Top 5 Strengths are Harmony, Empathy, Adaptability, Futuristic, and Relator. I think that being futuristic would benefit me the most while helping at the Shopping Bag. By thinking about how my help will effect someones life will be a motivation. It is always good to know that I am doing something good to help someone else. I also think that being a relator will help when dealing with customers. Someone might ask my opinion on something and I will be able to relate to them on whatever the situation might be.
ReplyDeleteMy top 5 strengths are empathy, harmony, developer, adaptability, and consistency. I think that these strengths can help make the Shopping bag more successful by working more with others, learning to adapt to different situations and people and learning what it takes to get along with everyone.
ReplyDeleteI did not correctly do my assignment, so here is another shot at it. My five strengths are competition, communication, significance, command and woo. I would use my competition to compete with other students who are also working at the shopping bag. I would communitcate to the workers that is shy in the department and is not really a people's person, to encourage them not to be afraid. The significance in me will just stand out in the way I complete my tasks differently, than from others. My command will also leverage me when I see something that needs to be done, I will take charge and pick the right people to help me with that certain assignment. Woo! My woo strength will help me to be a better sales person and will also combine with my communication and significance at the same time to sale alot more and make and meet new friends.
ReplyDeletemy top five strengths help me almost everyday dealing with problems that may arise. Now i notice why i may do certain things, and why other tasks that i do are easy to figure out to me, its as a result of my 5 strengths. I can sense how people feel, and i read people very good, thats because of my empathy. when ever a problem arises i look at many different ways that i can attack it, this comes from my strategic strength. History alsom helps me understand the present and future. Because history tends to repeat itself, this shows me how my context strength helps me figure out problems or questions. Im a creative person, but i cant draw, so i use my ideation strength to help convey my ideas to others, who may be able to give me a visual of what i am conjuring in my head. Finally my restorative quality, i enjoy to achieve success through accomplishing goals, figuring out problems where others may not do so well.
ReplyDeleteI will use my 5 strengths to be successful in the service learning project as the Shopping Bag with positivity which enabled me to get to know others besides my classmates. I used my consistency strength as showing my worthiness which allowed me to stay comitted in completing the two hours of the volunteer service. I noticed that the second hour went very smooth because I used my developer strength to improve and get it done quicker. I saw my restorative strength as volunteering to help the Center prepare and bring back service to the community. The center is located in a part of the city which cater to people of lower income. This is a benefit for the center and the community.
ReplyDeleteIn everyday life I attend to come across problems, and it's vital that I use my strengths to overcome it. However, I will utlize my 5 strenghts more wiser at the shopping bag. My 5 strenghts consist of learner, restorative, responsiblity, focus, and relator.*MY PROMISE*: I will stratgicly work through this process, and solve the problems that prevents me from being the great person I am. I will learn to cope with the enviroment regardless of the enviroment.I will make it my responsbility to be punctual to my assigned date. I will stay focus and disregard any distraction that may arise. I will make fun relationship with other volunteers that are present.
ReplyDeleteMy top 5 strengths are Consistency, Belief, Arranger, Includer, and Restorative. I can use my top 5 strengths in future reference to the Shopping Bag in many ways. I could use the Arranger in me to help to arrange the merchandise to promote productivity. I could use the Includer in me to help to get people to come to the Shopping Bag and even help out as to donating more items. I could also use the Restorative in me to to help solve any problems that we may come across while I'm helping out!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to complete the service learning once again but i can imagine how my top five strengths would be used. Which are Consistency, Deliberate, Restorative, Learner, and Significance.
ReplyDeleteMy top 5 signature themes are Achiever, consistency, deliberative, focus, and responsibility and I haven't did the service learing project yet but when I do the I will use my 5 strenghts to the best of advantage for my service learning project at the Shopping Bag. I will stay focus on what's important to complete the project and try to help whenever help is needed and I show responsibilty for things to get done.
ReplyDeleteMy top 5 strengths are Futuristic, Input, Ideation, Communication, and Context. I have done the service learning project, and I have used most of my strengths. I have used my ideation, communication, and input have played the most part in my time with the shopping bag. I usually have ideas on something, then I use my input and communication to voice my opinion.
ReplyDeleteMy top 5 strengths are Adaptability, Ideation, Consistancy, Relator, and Restorative. In service learning I would use my Adaptability to go with the flow of working.
ReplyDeleteMy top 5 signature strengths are Relator, Analytical, Responsibility, Futuristic, and Significance. In the last round of service learning I think that I exercised significance and responsibility in rallying the efforts of my teams portion of the project. Two of our group members apparently withdrew from the course. The remaining members and I had a lot going on with other classes and life outside of class. We were able to get clothing collected but I was the only one that could drop the donations off. Although it was difficult for me to coordinate the efforts to do so, I felt that I needed to take ownership of this because it stressed me that my group would not get a grade if I didn't do it. Although I would like to step back and allow someone else to take the lead in this for the next project, I will make better use of my strengths to make sure that everything is followed through on.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning!
ReplyDeleteCharles McClendon from Gallup asked me to post the following:
"I am enjoying reading all of these great examples of applying strengths to your service learning project. I can't wait to hear all of the successes from this experience! Thank you for contributing to my engagement today! Charles from Gallup."
In addition to my last post, my consistency would be used when I arrange clothing items and such. My learner strength would be used when something I've never done comes alone and I'm always willing to learn new things. I honestly think that area is where my significance come in too because you can't find to many people that like to learn new things or try new things for that matter. I believe my strengths would make a difference at the Shopping Bag.
ReplyDeletehi my five strenghts are relator communication, imput, strategic, and futuristic. AT first i didnt think these strenght described me but the more i thought about i realized that these fit me perfectly. At work i was a manager a clothing company and there i use all my five strength. I had to communitcate with others to get things done. I had to be a relator so the employees felt comfortable coming to me for help. I used my futuristic side because i always saw more things we can do better in the future. Also i used strategic because i was able to strategize and come up with alot of solutions.
ReplyDeleteMy five top strengths are futuristic,communication,restorative,significance,and self-assurance. When I first looked at the strengths it didnt describe me at all. So, I looked at these strengths once I was active which 2 of them I really saw in me when I did the service learning. Communication is one I used the most in service learning. I communicated with my classmates more and other people I just met in the service learning. When I did communicate I felt like I was talking to much which brought me out my box. The next one is Futuristic which I feel that this will help in the business industry. For instance planning,input, and discussion is all in the futuristic meaning. These strengths brought out the best in me and what I do. I feel now that my mind is set on good things that bring out the best in me I just have to look harder
ReplyDeleteWhile volunteering at the Shopping Bag, I was able to use my Futuristic Strength to visualize what the store had the potential of becoming, a franchise opening up businesses all over Nashville, and maybe on to other cities. I also used my Harmonic Strength to get along with the other volunteers. Hopefully this skill will be a great asset when greating customers and eraning the store positive feedback. I enjoyed my time there, and I can see myself volunteering more of my time in the near future.
