This 3-hour workshop will guide you through exploring and understanding your strengths as determined by the CliftonStrengths assessment. We will focus on understanding how you can use your core strengths – the talents you already possess – to make progress in work and leadership. Through reflection, small group discussion, and insightful teaching, you will leave with a deeper understanding of the talents you already have and how you can use those to find success.
“I think CliftonStrengths is a super valuable tool, as it helps one become aware of where there natural strengths lie, and from there, one can start to explore how to utilize their strengths to achieve desired goals.”
