Perceiver
Sees what is right, wrong, or out of alignment. Values truth, integrity, and justice. Willing to name what others may avoid.

Giftivate
Most teams are not short of talent. They are short of a shared language for it.
The Giftivate Framework
Seven ways people are built to contribute
A research-informed model that helps people identify and activate their core motivations. Most teams are not short of talent. They are short of a shared language for it.
Servant
Notices practical needs and steps in to meet them. Finds satisfaction in making things work and helping others succeed.
Professor
Seeks understanding and values accuracy, clarity, and context, and communicates it to others. Needs to know not just what, but why.
Encourager
Sees potential in people and possibilities for what could be. Relationship driven. Turns possibility into progress.
Giver
Sees resources as tools for creating solutions. Connects the need to the solution. Provides the “things” that complete projects.
Ruler
Sees what needs to happen and takes responsibility for moving it forward. Keeps the group moving toward a shared goal.
Mercy
Feels deeply with people who are hurting and creates a safe place for them to be seen and heard. Senses emotional needs and stays with people during difficult times.
Which three are yours?
Most people run on three of the seven. Knowing which three — and which three your organization runs on — is where a session starts.
Find out →What a session actually does
Participants name their own top three gifts and their organization’s top three, then set them against the work their job really asks of them — including the parts nobody wrote down. The gaps between those lists are where stress, imposter syndrome and quiet resentment usually live, and naming them is most of the fix.
