This Week with Introspective

The definition of Connector from the Strengths Profile:

• You always love making connections between the people you meet.

• You notice when people have shared interests or something in common.

• You instinctively make links between people by thinking of ways you can bring them together for their mutual benefit.

Questions to help you bring this strength to life:

• Who in my network might benefit from knowing each other and what could come from that connection?

• How can I follow up or nurture the connections I’ve already helped form

• When does connecting others feel energizing — and when might it start to feel draining?

Strength Story: Connector

The Strength of Connector

For Gina, connection is both an instinct and an art. She has a natural ability to link people, ideas, and opportunities in ways that create momentum and possibility. Whether introducing colleagues with shared goals or offering a resource that shifts someone’s perspective, Gina thrives on sparking meaningful connections that help others move forward. For her, being a Connector isn’t about networking — it’s about generosity, intuition, and helping people see what’s possible when the right connections come together.

Fact of the Week

Most people think they’re self-aware — but research tells a different story.

“95% of people believe they’re self-aware… yet only 10–15% actually are.”

— Dr. Tasha Eurich, Organizational Psychologist
