The Activator CliftonStrengths Theme forms part of the assessment carried out by us. Which helps you to discover what is that you do best naturally. Where your most potential lies, and what it is that makes you exceptional
People exceptionally talented in the Activator theme can make things happen by turning thoughts into action. They want to do things now, rather than simply talk about them.
Our clients complete the CliftonStrengths assessment to learn which of the 34 themes, like Activator, are found to be strongest in them.
The following theme description highlights the thoughts, feelings and behaviours you are likely to experience if you have strong Activator:
“When can we start?” This is a recurring question in your life. You are impatient for action. You may concede that analysis has its uses or that debate and discussion can occasionally yield some valuable insights, but deep down you know that only action is real. Only action can make things happen. Only action leads to performance.
Once a decision is made, you can not act. Others may worry that “there are still some things we don’t know,” but this doesn’t seem to slow you. If the decision has been made to go across town, you know that the fastest way to get there is to go stoplight to stoplight.
You are not going to sit around waiting until all the lights have turned green. Besides, in your view, action and thinking are not opposites. In fact, guided by your Activator theme, you believe that action is the best device for learning.
You make a decision, you take action, you look at the result, and you learn. This learning informs your next action and your next. How can you grow if you have nothing to react to? Well, you believe you can’t. You must put yourself out there. You must take the next step. It is the only way to keep your thinking fresh and informed.
The bottom line is this: You know you will be judged not by what you say, not by what you think, but by what you get done. This does not frighten you. It pleases you.

How to Better Understand Your Activator Theme
Making the most of your Activator talents starts with gaining valuable insights into what you naturally do best.
