“People with the StrengthsFinder theme of Connectedness believe that everything happens for a reason. They have the unique ability to ‘connect the dots’ between what is happening in the here and now with deep personal meaning. People with the strength of Connectedness have a unique way of seeing events, people and the world, able to recognize instinctively that everything that happens is caused by something else. There is a “ripple” that connects people and events together. In this connection, people with Connectedness find meaning, purpose and deeper relationships.”
I become very connected to people after knowing them for just a short period of time. I have an investment in the wellbeing of people, and I believe that having the connectedness attribute has served me well in that capacity. At Agnes Scott in particular, I have enjoyed forming connections to different parts of the country and the world through my friendships with my schoolmates.
