work doesn’t seem like work
- Maximize your greatest talents
- Become the best of who you already are
- What is “fit” all about?
- Who you are
- What you do

The Right Fit
- One definition of a “calling” is “where your
deep gladness meets the world’s deep needs.”
- What is your “deep gladness”?
- What do you love to do?
- When are you “in the zone”?
- StrengthsFinder is not a career inventory
- It helps you identify and develop your areas of greatest talent
- It helps you answer…
- What am I passionate about?
- The most meaningful thing I’ve ever done is?
- I come alive when I’m…?
