I’m a 30-something husband and dad of two. A singer/songwriter, musician, and hack-poet that still thinks he can change the world. I’ve got lots of big corporate name work experience - which doesn’t really matter here (except that if you are a big corporate person, I can probably relate to you).

My Strengths
I’m big into the idea that you should play to your strengths. You have them for a reason. Here are my “signature themes” from Marcus Buckingham’s Now Discover Your Strengths:

• Ideation: People strong in the Ideation theme are fascinated by ideas. They are able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.
• Achiever: People strong in the Achiever theme have a great deal of stamina and work hard. They take great satisfaction from being busy and productive.
• Connectedness: People strong in the Connectedness theme have faith in the links between all things. They believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.
• Learner: People strong in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. In particular, the process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them.
• Maximizer: People strong in the Maximizer theme focus on strengths as a way to stimulate personal and group excellence. They seek to transform something strong into something superb.
