"I am aware of exclusion and understand its repercussions."
"I will shrink the gap between the haves and have-nots."

Action Items:
If you have Includer as your dominant talent, you may consider these action items:
Choose roles in which you are continuously working and interactive with people.
Look for opportunities to bring together people of diverse cultures and backgrounds.
Help those who are new to a group to get to know others.
Help your friends and colleagues see the best in them.
Draw out others' opinions in a group setting. Speak up for the importance of including everyone's feelings.
There is a time to include and also may be a time to not include. There may be times when being somewhat selective with your Includer talents could create the same good results but with greater efficiency.
Note that these action items only serve as guide.

Includer is my Top 3! That's the reason why I have a lot of circle of friends. I don't want anyone as much as possible to be left behind. Although, there are times some people thought that my friendship is not genuine because I am meeting a lot of different groups - but I assure you my friendship is genuine :)
I also trying to keep in touch for some long lost close connections. But since I have a wide connections, there might be some connections that I might lose contact with. If that is the case, it doesn't mean I forgot you. Just message me and let's meet!
And oh, as much as I want to include people, I also have a tendency to feel secluded or left behind if my group of friends doesn't invite me. But I am learning that my friends also have their own set of friends and there will be times that they spend time with other and time spend with us.
