In the upcoming Deadpool 2 trailer, Deadpool tells his friend, Weasel, that in order to defeat the mega-villain, Cable, he wants to “form a super-duper f****** group.”

To which Weasel replies:

“It’s time to get back on LinkedIn.”

Sorry, guys, I was here first.

And I began recruiting a super-duper team of superheroes months ago for my Freedom Leaguecoaching group.

Since April 1, more than fifty people from nine separate countries and a U.S. territory have joined the League.

Together, we are learning to unlock and realize the full potential of our superpowers.

To show Deadpool just how super-duper our team is, we asked members of the Freedom League to list their favorite superpower. Here’s what some of them had to say:

  • Jake JordanConnectedness: “When I’m on my game, it has created the most opportunity and fulfillment professionally.”
  • Eric GardnerRestorative: “It’s been the key to my success thus far. I love turning around organizations/teams that are dysfunctional and turning them into highly performing operations.”
  • Brooke FormanekFuturistic: “The strength keeps me moving forward and working towards bigger and better things in my life and my career. Big dreams/ideas inspire me and keep me feeling positive and excited for whats coming next. Life is good, I can see it … now, let’s create it.”
  • Vito AbrusciStrategic: “I like to create new ways of doing things.”
  • Alexis de MonicaultPositivity: “It is how I impact most people and make them go forward, and I love that.”
  • Ryan ShulmanInput: “It’s my #1 for a reason. I like having tons of information to work with, it gives me greater flexibility.”
  • Laura DurstLearner: “Because that’s when I thrive best, learning anything new; watercolor techniques, accounting procedure, glassmaking, recipes, car engines…”
  • Logan ThompsonRestorative: “I’m learning that I really get a rush figuring out how to fix brokenness and then doing it. I get the most excited thinking about that strength over all the others.”
  • Fraser CameronMaximizer: “It embodies both my ‘why’ and who I am. It’s all about pushing to new levels of epicness and creating new possible.”
  • Quentin AllumsStrategic: “Entrepreneurship is chaos. Life is chaos. The strategic talent theme is one of my favorites because it allows me to weave through the chaos, find the patterns, and make things happen.”

Never Heard of ‘Em?

Unfamiliar with some of the superpowers listed above?

They are just a small sampling of the 34 different talent themes (untapped superpowers) possessed by each and every human being, as identified by Gallup’s CliftonStrengthsassessment.

These talent themes are our naturally occurring patterns of thought, feeling and behavior.

And when you productively apply them, use them intentionally each and every day, and exercise them like you would work out a muscle at the gym, you can turn them into strengths, or as I like to call them: Your Superpowers.

Unlocking your superpowers — making you aware of them — is only the first step.

The next step is to them to help define your vision and values — to identify the job, career, or lifestyle that is right for you.

We also use those them as tools to help guide you and crush obstacles along the journey to your big, audacious objectives.
