When someone new contacts me for help with their travel planning, they’ve often started by bouncing around on my website and reading online reviews of my service, attempting to figure out what type of person I am.
During the travel slowdown that resulted from the Covid pandemic, I took a Character strengths assessment where you answer a bunch of questions and learn what your strengths are. Here is a list of my top six “Signature Strengths.” I think they describe me to a T.
- FAIRNESS (justice) – Treating all people the same according to notions of fairness and justice; not letting feelings bias decisions about others; giving everyone a fair chance.
- PERSPECTIVE (wisdom) – Being able to provide wise counsel to others; having ways of looking at the world that make sense to oneself/others.
- HONESTY (courage) – Speaking the truth but more broadly presenting oneself in a genuine way and acting in a sincere way; being without pretense; taking responsibility for one’s feelings and actions.
- LOVE OF LEARNING (wisdom) – Mastering new skills, topics, and bodies of knowledge, whether on one’s own or formally; related to the strength of curiosity but beyond it to describe the tendency to add systematically to what one knows.
- PRUDENCE (temperance) – Being careful about one’s choices; not taking undue risks; not saying or doing things that might later be regretted.
- KINDNESS (humanity) – Doing favors and good deeds for others; helping them; taking care of them.
Think that describes someone you’d like to work with to plan your next trip? Contact me!
