I’m an Activator

I am so happy that you are here! I’ve thought about writing a book for years, and have finally fulfilled that dream and it feels fantastic! I have 3 other books in mind that now I feel like I can really bring to reality. My goal is to have all 4 released by mid-2024. You can find more information about my first book, Fellow Travelers here! I hope you enjoy it!

I took the Strengths Finder quiz many, many years ago at work, and discovered that my top strength was “Activator”. To roughly quote the book, this is one who makes things happen. An Activator has the ability to turn thoughts, ideas, and concepts into action. I never saw this trait as particularly positive. In fact, it’s known to annoy some people in the past! But I’ve come to carry the banner for all the Activators out there – those who have an idea and figure out how to see it through – even if it’s not perfect at first. My Activator strength is why I have self-published my first book. With more to come!

It’s also why I graduated from college early, hosted two podcasts about topics I love, learned about mid-century architecture so I could lead tours, started book clubs, a wine club, and have planned more than 100 trips for family, friends, girlfriends, and for others’ vacations. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, I’m owning this strength and using it to make some of my dreams come true. Have you done the Strengths Finder quiz? If so, what are your top 5 strengths?
