This Week with Introspective
The definition of Narrator from the Strengths Profile:
Telling stories comes very naturally to you.
As ordinary events happen, you picture how they might be spun into an anecdote or story to tell others.
You see the power of stories to convey morals, insights, values, humor, and many other lessons.
Questions to help you bring this strength to life:
How do the stories I tell most often reflect my values, beliefs, or identity?
In what ways can I use storytelling more intentionally — to inspire, teach, or connect?
Which audiences respond most strongly to my stories, and what does that reveal about their impact?

Strength Story: Narrator
The Strength of Narrator
For Bill, storytelling is more than conversation — it’s connection. In a recent job interview, he shared a personal story about helping his father through bankruptcy, revealing his resilience, authenticity, and drive in a way no résumé bullet point could. That moment affirmed the power of his Narrator strength: stories don’t just explain experiences, they reveal who he is at his core. Now, by pairing vulnerability with mindfulness, Bill uses storytelling to communicate with clarity, honesty, and impact.
