Topic 1: Why Wake Up Eager Matters

If you know what your strengths and talents are, the next day after you've been informed about what they are, it has been measured that you're 8% more productive.
When you use your talents and strengths, these are your unique personal traits, your interests, in addition to your background and experience, you are THREE times more likely to be committed to the work, and you are SIX times more likely to say, “I have a high quality life.”
When you are a leader who leads based on strengths, you help people know what their strengths and talents are, you acknowledge them, you embrace their strengths and talents and you help them do more of who they really are, you're 86% more successful.
When a team uses their strengths on the job every day, a 25-person team, they have 44% higher customer service scores, 38% higher productivity scores.
THREE out of FOUR adults don't know what their strengths and talents are. If you line up 100 people, the Gallup Organization research, 75 of them cannot name their strengths and they're not using them on the job every day.
