WOO=Winning Others Over.  People high in WOO have never met a stranger-only friends they haven't met yet.  They derive energy from meeting new people and winning them over.

How do they think?

They are constantly thinking about ways in which they can connect with others.  Getting to know someone and finding commonalities is what makes this person tick.  They enjoy learning about others and helping people connect with one another.

How do they feel?

They feel energized when they can walk into a room full of people, meet someone new, find commonalities, win them over, and then move on to the next person.  They enjoy the challenge and feel drawn to them.

How do they behave?

Striking up conversations and building rapport is what brings these individuals great satisfaction.  When they meet others they want to learn their names, ask questions, and find some common interests.

•   Be intentional about building your network.  Check in with each person at least once a month.

•   Practice charming and engaging others.  Hone your skills of winning others over.

As I mentioned to you last Friday, I love this time of year.  New goals.  New dreams.  New ambitions for the 2015-year.  At reCreate, we want to kick off 2015 by sharing with you a few of our goals, dreams, and ambitions…

1. Inspire.  We hope our Strengths stories inspire you to take action. Get to know your Strengths.  Understand at a deeper level why you are energized by some things and deflated by others.  See the ways in which your Strengths play out in your daily life and how they’ve played in your successes.

2.  Influence.  Our hope is that you continue the “Strengths movement” by inspiring others to take action.  This is where better communication happens, where the management of negative emotions happens, and where the building of resiliency happens.  This domino effect is what creates real change inside a marriage, family, team, or organization.

3.  Impact.   We hope this will forever alter your life, team, and/or company.  This is where purpose is realized, where higher levels of engagement occur, productivity soars, and profitability increases.  Our goal is that our programs will create a sustainable impact in your lives.

Perhaps our programs will serve as inspiration for you… Perhaps you can share some of your goals, dreams, and ambitions to inspire us!  Let's make it a great year!

I love this time of year.  A fresh start.  New beginnings.  A hope for things to come.

I'm sure most of you have thought about your goals, resolutions, or things you want in 2015.  I know I have.  As a "self development junkie", I've thought about how I can take what I've learned in 2014 and make 2015 the best year yet. How can I use my strengths more intentionally?   A new year.  A new me.  A better me.  

So with this new year-what do you want?  What do you hope for?  What do you dream of?  How can we take the lessons learned in 2014 and leverage them in 2015?  How can we use our strengths everyday to meet our goals?  How can we stay focused this year?

Here are a few of my favorite ideas that help me stay intentional about my goals:

1)  Make a vision board.  Take magazines and cut out images, words, and pictures that resonate with you.  Hang it where you can see it everyday.   This is a great visual reminder.   To learn more about vision boards click here.

2)  Journal.  Successful people journal.  Here's a great article by Forbes about why journaling is so important.  Click here.

3)  Get an accountability partner or mentor.  This helps us take responsibility for what we say we will do and hold us accountable to those actions.  Here's another great article on accountability partners and goal setting. Click here.

I'm excited about this year for you!  You're going to do great things.  As Zig Ziglar said, "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."

Thanks for supporting reCreate over this past year.  It's truly an honor to be apart of your lives.  I look forward all the new and exciting things happening here!  Stay tuned!

With much love,

Sarah
