Student Action Items

Rebecca Dabbs
Consistency
What do you need to do to earn the grade you want in each class? Set up and adhere to a study
routine. You excel when your life has a rhythm to it.

Being able to predict how another person will act and react helps you confidently plot the
course for a relationship. Think about how your Consistency talents influence your relationships
with others. Are you always there in times of need? Do you consistently show compassion and
caring?

You are naturally aware of when things are out of balance, and you can quickly restore stability.
Once you figure out the best way to find balance, keep doing it especially when you are in a
stressful situation.

Developer

What is your personal mission? How can you connect your mission with your Developer talents to
make a meaningful difference in other peoples lives? Explore careers where you can help others
reach their potential.

Sometimes people with strong Developer talents apply them to others so much that they forget
they are growing too. Remember to develop yourself. You cannot give what you do not have its
OK to put your needs first. Who has helped you grow? Find a mentor or professor who will focus
on your development.

Challenge your roommates and friends by asking them questions that stretch their imagination.
What are their dreams? How much could they do if there were no barriers to their choices? You
have likely already seen glimpses of their potential. Help them see it too.

Restorative

When you get a test back, review the questions you missed. Try studying every test question you
didnt answer correctly to determine recurring gaps in your knowledge. Then figure out how to fix
the problem. But dont get so focused on what was wrong that you forget to celebrate the
questions you got right.

Be careful not to get stuck focusing on whats wrong with your relationships. Make sure your
friends and roommates dont think that flaws and shortcomings are all you can see.

Your strong Restorative talents might make you overly critical of yourself sometimes. Give yourself
a break. When you get frustrated trying to solve a problem, look for a mentor or friends with strong
Ideation talents. These partners can add an element of creativity and help you think of other ways
to handle a stressful situation.

Relator

Talk to your trusted circle of friends about how they see you. Ask them what they think your
greatest talents are. You value and trust your best friends opinions, and they can give you a new
perspective on yourself. Keep in mind how others perceive you when you go to class, socialize,
volunteer and even when you graduate and start your future career.

Establish various lines of communication with friends in your classes verbal, text, email and
help each other with lectures, notes and assignments when one of you has to miss class.

As a strong Relator, you may get and give more love and friendship than most. Tell people that
your relationship with them makes you happy. Show them that you care about the quality of their
lives by extending compassion, thoughtfulness and interest in their core values.

You are a giver, not a taker. But sometimes, you need to recharge your own battery. Identify close
friends you can trust and open up to during troubling times, and lean on them for the support you
need. To have the energy to help others who look to you for deep and genuine friendship, you have
to take care of your needs first.

Empathy

When thinking about your major, consider fields that give you the chance to change lives. Your
Empathy talents will likely make you successful in any area where you can have an impact on
others. But roles that allow you to work with people one on one may be the most satisfying for you.

Be careful not to let those you support overwhelm you. You are there for your friends and family
whenever they need you, but you also need to take care of yourself and find healthy ways to
release your emotions. Discuss your feelings with your friends. They may not be as intuitive as you
are, but they do care about you. So let them support you when you need it.

You need to feel all of your feelings good and bad. Avoid people who dismiss or disrespect this
need.
