Includer

Relationship Building

"Peace requires everyone to be in the circle - wholeness, inclusion." - Isabel Allende

“Stretch the circle wider" is the philosophy on which people with strong Includer talents centre their lives.

I want to build an inclusive society that ensures that no-one is left out or left behind. I believe that each person has value so when I feel that someone has been judged or discriminated against, I feel that the value of that person has been limited and that frustrates me. I love to welcome all types of people into my life and fundamentally believe in allowing them to do what they need to do even if I don't necessarily enjoy it. I like to be emotionally available to people. I am particularly drawn to helping people that I feel society has rejected. For me it is all about acceptance and tolerance.

MY unique TALENT

MY SUPerpower

Openness

MY instinctive Ability

You have the intuitive ability to sense when people feel rejected, alone, excluded or not worthy. You will instinctively create an emotional response directed at whoever is experiencing these emotions in order to make them feel immediately accepted.

The drive I naturally bring

You bring this deep desire to see people experience emotional acceptance in all circumstances. Accepting who someone is, is something you unconditionally give to others with no strings attached. You don't even need to know who they are. You actively seek to make people who feel alone, rejected, unloved or excluded feel loved by removing any and all barriers that could be causing these emotions.

What can I naturally create?

You create true community where anybody and everybody is welcome and where nothing about them can be used as a basis for rejection of any sort. You ensure that barriers between people do not exist. You create a welcoming space for people who may feel that they do not fit in or who are shy to connect to others. This thoughtful approach not only increases participation and communication but also brings a level of tolerance and acceptance, especially in diverse situations.

MANAGING MY EXPECTATIONS

I like...

To make all people feel part of something, ensuring that no one is left out or forgotten;

ensuring that people are not discriminated against in any way;

feeling that I am part of something myself;

to be included in what others are doing.

I connect easily to people who...

Are unconditionally accepting of others;

are generous and caring;

make an effort to care for others;

value the group and try not to see themselves as being better than anyone else.

I am NOT known for...

Being unemotional;

accepting discrimination at any level;

working in the early hours of the day.

I get frustrated or distressed when...

I feel rejected and then excluded;

people exclude others, especially those I care about;

I cannot rectify a situation in which exclusion has taken place.

I can be perceived by some people as...

Being needy and hyper sensitive.

how best to work with me:

Accept me for my good stuff and my bad stuff - just let me be who I am.

Don't place conditions on who I must be.

Spend time with me, let us support each other.

I tend to enjoy working later in the day and into the evening - early mornings are not really my best time.

BEING MORE EFFECTIVE

know this:

You notice people who feel like outsiders or who feel unappreciated.

You are not content when people are left out, so you try to reach out to the 'outsiders' and bring them in.

People see you as accepting and sense that you want them to be included.

In your attempts to include others, you may be rejected by the very people you try to include.

You may have to confront your own fears as you seek to include those who may reject you. You may also have to deal with people who misunderstand your actions, yet themselves do nothing to reach out to those who feel left out.

try this:

Leverage your Includer talents to shrink the gap between insiders and those on the outside.

Choose roles in which you are continuously working and interacting with people. You will enjoy the challenge of making everyone feel important.

Look for opportunities to bring together people of diverse cultures and backgrounds. You can be a leader in this area.

Help those who are new to a group get to know others. You will be adept at quickly making people feel accepted and involved.

You naturally look for the best in people. Help your friends and colleagues see what you see.

Explain what we all have in common. Help others understand that to respect the differences among us (our diversity), we must begin by appreciating what we all share (our similarity).

Facing your personal challenge:

You are extremely sensitive to being rejected simply because you sense these emotions so easily. Emotion is seldom permanent so define for yourself a process in which you can determine whether rejection actually has taken place.

Your desire to always be around people may mean that you neglect your own individual needs. Remember that you can only give what you have. Be careful too that you don't lose your own individuality and uniqueness because you're afraid that others will reject you. It is in our unique individuality that our power lies. Connection to others is secondary.

Watch out for: Feeling you have to be included in everything going on around you that matters to you.
