From Marcia and Ellen (CFCI's finance folks) -

This morning, our office of 12 had a workshop on our StrengthsFinder talent themes. StrengthsFinder was developed by Gallup and is a way to determine your talents and strengths and learn how to best utilize them in your life, workplace, home, etc. You can buy the book and do this yourself!

In today's workshop, we talked about our individual talent themes and how they effect how we work and how our team functions. Our workshop leader, Sheryl Gehrls, asked us to think about our top 5 talent themes and discuss which of the five we thought was the most prominent in our work at CFCI.

This was so interesting! We learned that we are a great Finance team. Between the two of us, we have a good mix for getting things done. We both have "responsibility" in our top five which drives us to get things done in a timely manner. (Sometimes this causes us to work late!) We have a good mix of "relating" and "executing" talents. Both of us also have "belief." This means that our core Christian values are enduring and keep us energized about our work for CFCI.

While we knew that we made a good working team, it was great to look deeper into why and how we can use each of our strengths to further God's Kingdom through CFCI!
