"What would happen if we studied what was right with people versus what's wrong with people?"

-DON CLIFTON, inventor of the Clifton StrengthsFinder

Many of us grew up with the idea that we are better at some things than others. Maybe we were encouraged to grow in our areas of weakness - perhaps even dismissing our aptitudes as inconsequential.

But what if we could focus on growing in our areas of strength - to sharpen and ignite those aptitudes into superpowers that light up our world?

Don Clifton was a psychologist who wanted to help people “maximize their infinite potential. To understand not only who they are, but who they can become.”
(quoting the StrengthsFinder website)

Think of what you do well and most enjoy. What WOULD happen if those skills could be maximized to their infinite potential?
