Hi Reader,

Company holiday parties are one of my favorite places to watch strengths in the wild.

I'm the kind of party-goer that loves group games (like White Elephant), so I can really witness people's strengths in action!!

Here is a light-hearted look at how each CliftonStrength might celebrate at the company celebration this year.

Have fun spotting your themes! 🎁

Achiever: “I’m here, but only for a bit... I've got a lot of other stuff to do.”
​Activator: “Let’s get this party started! Why are we still standing around?”
​Adaptability: “I go with the flow, especially if it leads to tacos.”
​Analytical: “I can explain why this game will take exactly 12 minutes.”
​Arranger: “Give me five minutes... I can make this whole setup flow better.”
​Belief: “This season means something. Let’s make it count.”
​Command: “I’ll give the toast. Hand me the mic.”
​Communication: “I’ve already told three stories and made five people laugh.”
​Competition: “Is the ugly-sweater contest judged or what?”
​Connectedness: “I love how moments like this bring us together.”
​Consistency: “Everyone gets the same number of tacos… everyone.”
​Context: “Remember last year’s party? I’ve got pictures.”
​Deliberative: “I’ll join the game after I see how chaotic it gets.”
​Developer: “I’m cheering for everyone, especially the shy ones.”
​Discipline: “I arrived early. I have a schedule. Don’t mess with it.”
​Empathy: “Someone here needs a warm conversation. I can feel it.”
​Focus: “What’s the plan? And please… let’s stick to it.”
​Futuristic: “Imagine what next year’s party could be…”
​Harmony: “Let’s keep the drama lower than the music, please.”
​Ideation: “I’ve got three new ideas for party games — want them?”
​Includer: “Hey you! Come join us! No one stands alone tonight.”
​Individualization: “I noticed everyone's favorite drink and buying the next round.”
​Input: “I brought a fun fact about Christmas Trees. Actually, five.”
​Intellection: “I’m over here thinking about why Santa never does team-building exercises.”

​Maximizer: “Good party. I have ideas to make it better next year.”
​Positivity: “This is going to be SO FUN!!! I can feel it already!”
​Relator: “I’m not avoiding people… I’m curating my company.”
​Responsibility: “I'm happy to be the designated driver... again.”
​Restorative: “Need a last-minute gift fix? I’ve got ideas… and tape.”
​Self-Assurance: “Give me that gift nobody wants... I’ll make it cool.”
​Significance: “A holiday toast? I’d love to say a few words.”
​Strategic: “I know the best party game plan: grab tacos first, then conquer the dance floor.”
