This Week with Introspective

The definition of Equality from the Strengths Profile:

• Being fair and equitable is at the heart of who you are.

• You consider everyone to be your equal, giving great attention to issues of fairness and equality.

• Your own actions and decisions are as fair and equitable as possible.

Questions to help you bring this strength to life:

• How can I ensure that everyone’s voice is valued and respected in my interactions?

• What can I do right now to make others feel seen, included, and treated as equals?

• How am I noticing and challenging bias — in myself or in the spaces I’m part of?

Strength Story: Equality

The Strength of Equality

For Petrina, equality is a way of leading. From her early days in the construction industry to her later role as Assistant Dean, she built her career on respect, collaboration, and shared voice. Rather than leading from the top, she invited others in, ensuring every perspective was valued. Whether guiding teams through complex projects or mentoring women entering male-dominated fields, Petrina’s strength of Equality shines through her belief that the best solutions — and the strongest teams — come when everyone has a seat at the table.
