Before this workshop, you will complete Gallup\u2019s CliftonStrengths online assessment to determine your natural patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Then, attend the 4-hour Zoom session to receive your customized assessment results and participate in a series of structured discussions and reflection exercises to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and increased appreciation for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIdentify and Maximize Your Strengths<\/em> is an introduction to the CliftonStrengths framework in which participants will take the assessment and review their results to explore what they naturally do best, identify the impacts of those talents on their work and relationships, and determine how to further develop these areas to be most successful,\u201d explains course co-facilitator, David Robinson, Learning and Development Professional for MSU Infrastructure Planning and Facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lean Into Your Strengths<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Often, when we think about learning and development, we\u2019re working on our \u201cweaknesses\u201d \u2014 areas that could use improvement. One unique aspect of this workshop is its focus on your existing strengths. Discovering your strengths is just the beginning. Applying and investing in them sparks real change and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danielle Hook, course co-facilitator and Learning and Development Manager for MSU HR Organization and Professional Development, shares, \u201cIdentify and Maximize Your Strengths <\/em>guides participants from the initial understanding of their results through the identification and implementation of strengths-based actions. It is through these actionable steps that we see the deeply meaningful impact of a strengths-based approach to the development of individuals and teams. Using the CliftonStrengths framework, we celebrate the unique talents and contributions of individuals as well as the diversity within our teams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
