Those with the Connector Personality Style tend to be social souls and are generally friendly and approachable

Connectors enjoy being needed and helping others. They feel uplifted when they are able to contribute to the well being of others; be it a simple compliment, praise for a job well done, or supporting them through tougher times. Connectors value diversity, teamwork and collaboration. Their engaging smile and positive attitude can light up a room and bring enthusiasm, warmth, and a sense of cohesion to a group.

People Oriented

Accepting of differences, friendly, and affirming. Connectors relate well with people. They make efforts to connect with and acknowledge others. Most every decision made is determined by how it will affect the people involved.

Connectors have an innate drive to build relationships

Many Connectors are fascinated by human behavior and relationships. They seek understanding of themselves and how they fit into the world around them. They may be drawn to the self-help and psychology sections of bookstores and are on a constant quest of self-exploration.

As they seek to find themselves, connectors also engage in understanding how they can connect effectively with and contribute to the growth and self expression of others.

Internal Compass

Connectors may spend a great deal of their time seeking understanding of themselves and others or working towards the ultimate “This is what I am meant to do with my life” discovery. They view life’s challenges as opportunities for transformation and look for the lesson to be learned. When they are able to do so, it allows them to grow stronger and move forward with amazing resiliency.

They often let life unfold instead of trying to control their direction. Rather, they want their path or purpose to be revealed to them from life circumstances.

Connectors feel the most alive and fulfilled when they are included, appreciated and expressing their true selves

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

Frustrations

Connectors get frustrated when they feel others aren't being kind

Preferring to feel appreciated and supported before critiqued, Connectors can get offended if others criticize without emphasizing the positive aspects first. Conflict can be a big stressor for them, even if it does not involve them. Connectors may try to mediate an argument and foster collaboration to restore equilibrium and positive attitudes.

Core Value: Relationship

Before Connectors make a decision, they consider the impact it will have on others. They ask themselves, “How will this affect the relationship or people involved?”

From the Connector perspective, harmony, happiness, and friendship are valued more highly than personal victory. Not only are relationships with others a top priority for Connectors, their own self expression (relationship with self) is very important.
