This Week with Introspective
The definition of Service from the Strengths Profile:
You feel compelled to help people as much as you can, going above and beyond what you need to do.
You are focused on satisfying people's needs and meeting their requirements.
Nothing is too much trouble for you when it comes to helping someone else.
Questions to help you bring this strength to life:
What opportunities exist in my life to serve others more intentionally?
What small act of service today could make someone’s day easier or lighter?
What boundaries help me serve others while still caring for myself?

Strength Story: Service
The Strength of Service
Judy instinctively steps in when someone is struggling, offering presence, care, and grounded support without waiting to be asked. Rooted in empathy and decades in the nonprofit world, her strength shines in the quiet, meaningful ways she makes life easier for others. To Judy, service is about noticing, showing up, and reminding people they matter — not with perfection, but with sincerity.
Fact of the Week
The more you help others, the more connected you feel. Even small acts of service strengthen social bonds — and strong relationships are one of the biggest predictors of long-term happiness.
