You have the intuitive ability to sense the true nature of who people really are in all of their complexity.  You can also instinctively sense whether two people can fit together or not. You delight in being able to 'work them out' and then connecting them to the 'right' people.

You are driven to build puzzles with people. Working out the nuance of who people really are, is like finding different pieces of the puzzle. By first enabling each person to understand who they are (the puzzle piece) you then connect each piece to where they fit naturally with other people.

‍

‍

You create an appreciation of the unique value that lies in each person. You encourage people to express the full range of who they are without apologising, and in doing so you enable people to embrace their natural talents while appreciating the differences between people. You help people feel understood, celebrate their uniqueness and become confident in who they are.

You also create highly effective teams and help build powerful relationships. You are a match maker. You intuitively know when two people do not go together. Your ultimate goal is to create the 'perfect' team where everyone connects in just the right way.

‍

To take time to understand what makes a person who they are, especially those who are distinct and standout from the crowd;

working in a team of distinct people;

being different to everyone around me;

being able to define who I am, my way.

Are strong individuals in their own right and can add their special gifts to the team;

simply 'get' me;

are authentic and trustworthy;

are interesting to get to know.

Going with the crowd;

being judgmental of others;

enjoying being 'typed'.

People don't take time to understand me;

I have to work with people to get something done and I know that the 'wrong' people are in the 'wrong' place;

I have to work with people who do not allow me to express myself as an individual;

I cannot trust someone else but have to work with them.

‍

Not being a team player;

potentially even rebellious.

Trust me when I tell you how you should best work with me.

I like to play a specialist role that is unique in the business.

Let me have the authority to work with people in a way that I can best organise them.

Take time to understand who I am.

You view each person as a distinct, one-of-a-kind individual.

You naturally see how people who are very different can work together well.

You know how to build productive teams because you can see the talents of people and structure groups that maximize those talents.

Because you see individuals so distinctly and try to relate to them in terms of their specific characteristics, relating to people can be sometimes be tiring and even overwhelming.

Honor the uniqueness in each person you encounter.

You instinctively understand how different people might be able to work together effectively. Use this talent to help create partnerships, teams, and groups that complement each other.

Become an expert in describing your own strengths and style. For example, answer questions such as these: What is the best praise you ever received? How often do you like to check in with your manager? What is your best method for building relationships? How do you learn best?

Ask these same questions of your colleagues and friends. Help them plan their future by starting with their strengths, then designing a future based on what they do best.

Make your colleagues and friends aware of each person's unique motivations and needs. Study successful people to discover the uniqueness that made them successful.

Your single greatest desire is to feel understood for all of who you are. Unless some-one else has individualization, they will simply not be interested in understanding who you are, which will leave you frustrated and feeling alone. Be proactive and guide and educate the people that matter to you. Who knows, they may actually suddenly be interested in who they are and that will bring you the two of you together.

Your second challenge is a follow on from the first, and lies in what you give to others. Because you are so accepting of others and you know them often better than they know themselves, you can easily do all the work in a relationship. This can generate a dependency which will not be healthy for you even though they will love it as they have a free 'coach' on hand.

Watch out for: Trying to be different when you really need to be part of the group.

What is the real power behind individuality?
