Reflection on Clifton Strength Assessment
Achiever
For as long as I can remember I have been an achiever. So having the strength study locate this attribute as one of my top five is interesting.

This helps me feel positive, when I know that the employees that report to me see me as more than just their boss. I leave work every day and I know that I have made a difference in someone’s life even if it is insignificant. I am fulfilled every day, some call it blessed.
Woo
The Woo is the chance that I get to spread my positivity to the most unexpected person. I encounter patients every day that I have never met and I am s...
