💡 What is Positivity?

Positivity is a talent within the Relationship Building group within CliftonStrengths.

People with high Positivity have an energy and enthusiasm that is contagious. They are optimistic, love life and can inspire others to be excited about what they are doing.

You are often considered the “firelighter” in the group. When others are tired or stressed, you are the one who brings joy, humor and optimism. For you, work can be fun, challenges can be opportunities, and life is always worth enjoying.
