Your Voice Order
Nurturer
Foundational
Nurturer
Your foundational Voice is Nurturer. The Nurturer Voice is the champion of people, relational harmony, and values, which we explained in more detail in the previous section. This is your strongest Voice through which you view the world, and the Voice through which all other Voices are expressed.
Secondary
Guardian
Your secondary Voice is Guardian. Guardians are the champions of due diligence, resources, and efficient systems and processes.
In the 5 Voices model, the secondary Voice plays a crucial role in how you express your overall “Voice”, which is why your Voice combination is referred to as “Nurturer Guardian”.
Your Guardian Voice is highly adept at using logic, creating order, designing efficient systems, and establishing repeatable processes. It is also important to note that your Guardian Voice is expressed through the lens of your Nurturer Voice, which means that you leverage the Guardian Voice to create organization and alignment among the people and resources for which you are responsible.
The combination of these two Voices as your top two strengths means that you are extremely present-oriented, and you balance your relational focus with a sense of logic, rationale, and effective systems-thinking. Discipline and productivity are hallmarks of your approach to leading yourself, and you apply these skills to caring for others.
