Exploring Your Strengths

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.
