My intro to the Clifton/Buckingham concept came in early 2002 when I bought Now Discover Your Strengths. Like you, I read the book in one sitting - it was impossible to step away. It made so much sense and gave me the courage to put my strengths to work. Since then, I've used the StrengthsFinder assessment to help hundreds of people understand what makes them tick. It just works. Let me encourage you to write your five themes on a card and keep them where you can frequently see them. Start every week with the goal of doing at least one thing during the week that intentionally involves one of your themes. As a self-described "Type A" you won't find this difficult, but having some intentionality will help you see how the themes work in your life. If you have any questions, you can always reach me at the email address included with this reply. Amanda – welcome to a great experience!
