My 5 strengths as per Gallop : (excerpts from Gallop)1. Strategic - You quickly weigh alternative paths and determine the best one. Your natural ability to anticipate, play out different scenarios and plan ahead makes you an agile decision-maker.2. Relator - You naturally form genuine and mutually rewarding one-on-one relationships. Your authenticity allows you to build close, long-lasting connections that foster trust and confidence.3. Activator - You can make things happen by turning thoughts into action. You want to do things now, rather than simply talk about them.4. Futuristic - You are a visionary. Your powerful anticipation and detailed visualization of a better future can turn aspirations into reality. Your vision of tomorrow can inspire and push others to new heights.5. Maximizer - You are never satisfied with "good enough" and, as a result, you hold yourself and others to the highest standard. You require excellence — not being average.I am also a single mom, I love painting and sculpture, and hope to get back to theatre in some small way sometime in the future. (I did over 20 shows at one time at NCPA and Prithvi in Bombay) serious hindi theatre!)
