📍 Some rooms won’t move until you walk in.
If you’ve got Activator, you’ve probably felt it: being ready before others are. Feeling like too much. Getting told to slow down when no one else is starting.
But that urgency? It’s not the problem — it’s the spark.

📍 Every strength can be “too much” — depending on who’s watching. 😅
Woo can exhaust a Relator. Discipline can frustrate Adaptability. And Activator? It might set off side-eyes from a room full of thinkers.
But that doesn’t mean you shrink.

📍 The spark of Activator… and the steady fire of Self-Assurance.
Activator thrives on forward motion — eager to start, push, and propel ideas into action. But when paired with Self-Assurance, that urgency comes with grounded confidence. 💥

📍 The boldness of Activator… in motion.
“Ask forgiveness, not permission” — it’s an Activator mantra. Not about recklessness, but readiness. Ready to try, to leap, to figure it out on the move. 🏃♀️

📍 The collaboration of Input… and the order of Arranger.
For those with Input, curiosity never stops — information, ideas, and insights flow in constantly. But when paired with Arranger and Discipline, that curiosity finds structure and purpose. 🧩

📍 Some of us collect things — others collect connections. For me, that’s Input in action.
I’ve always filed away people, ideas, and resources that might help someone later. Even if it’s not for me, it’s for the next colleague, the new faculty member, or the student who needs it most.

📍 The generosity of Input… shaped by culture and context.
For those with Input, curiosity often extends beyond personal gain — it’s about gathering and sharing knowledge that can benefit the whole community. 🌍

📍 Not everyone wants more Input — and that’s okay.
Some people thrive on collecting ideas and perspectives, while others prefer to get straight to the point. But what happens when the source of that input — whose voice gets heard — is shaped by identity, power, and belonging?

📍 The enthusiasm of Input… when curiosity can’t stay quiet.
People often mistake “talking too much” for Communication, but it’s often Input in action — the excitement of sharing everything you’ve learned. 📚

This clip unpacks how the Relator strength can shape who gets brought into someone’s inner circle—often those who share similar values or strengths. But without awareness, this can lead to unintentional exclusivity.
