Do you find you think back to past experiences or challenges to inform your way forward? Are you “contexting” as Katie would say?Today on The Thoughtful Talents show we spotlight the CliftonStrengths Context® talent theme. Joining us to share her personal insights is fellow e2grow and Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, Katie Christensen. With Context® in her top 5, Katie shares some excellent examples of how this theme shows up for her...and might show up in others!Learning from Katie, we hear how she uses her Context® talents to inform the decisions for her future. For Katie, she shares that this theme is her ‘strategic dark horse’ while outwardly quiet and perhaps questioning, but powerfully considering the past – or “contexting” - gathering information from past experiences to positively inform her future decisions and movements. Without these grounding facts, or experiences, she can feel stuck, unable to plan for and think about forward movements. Using her Context®, as often as she breathes, this theme makes her observant and curious, especially as she uses it to help make the most of her relationships with others and focus on their forward growth.Listen as Katie explains how this theme is as useful and necessary as a rear-view mirror. While always ‘checking-in’, ‘touching-back’ with past experiences to inform the best way forward, Katie encourages us, and others, to ask those with Context® talents to share their thoughts and experiences. What experiences with Context® would you add to round out our show? OUR GUEST:Katie Christensen @ BeekubaLinkedIn | WebsiteKatie’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Adaptability | Context | Maximizer | Belief | PositivityYOUR HOSTS:Jen Werner @ Jen Werner CoachingLinkedIn | WebsiteJen’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Responsibility | Achiever | Belief | Deliberative | Activator  Chad Ahern @ Talent and Teams ConsultingLinkedIn | WebsiteChad’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Learner | Deliberative | Responsibility | Harmony | Analytical Learn more about CliftonStrengths Talent Themes: https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/home.aspxhttps://www.gallup.com/topic/context-theme.aspx The opinions and insights we share on each CliftonStrengths theme are our own and are based on our understanding of Gallup’s Strengths-based development research.
