Pre-Workshop Requirements

  1. Once registration closes, participants will receive a confirmation email with instructions for how to complete the CliftonStrengths assessment.
  2. The assessment takes 30-40 minutes to complete.
  3. Assessment results will be immediately generated upon completion.
  4. Before the workshop, all participants must download a copy of the "CliftonStrenths for Students" highlight sentences that resonate with them, and include comments with personal examples. 

In total, there is about one hour of advanced work required, which is why registration closes one full week before the workshop.

  • How to manage your "weaknesses" to improve your relationships with others (professionally & personally), 
  • Identifying strategies to practice/apply their talents, and 
  • Opportunities to further learning through the Gallup Access App.

In the past two years, 100% of workshop attendees have found the workshop to be informative, effective, and engaging (both in-person and virtually). Here are some testimonies from past workshop participants about why you should join: 

"As someone who has done this assessment tool in the past, I must say this workshop was captivating, insightful, and powerful in learning about our strengths to the next level! It not only helped me learn about myself, it helped me learn about others on my team. I would love to take this again and I would love to recommend this to others!" - March 2021 virtual participant.

“The personalized report was very insightful and helped me see potential in myself that I had never realized before. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, which kept me engaged and entertained throughout the whole seminar.”
- July 2020 virtual participant

"I would definitely recommend this. Unlike the personality test, I think this really applies to teamwork, which is something prevalent in university. By knowing your talents and how it impacts the team, it could make a difference in how things play out."
- June 2020 virtual participant

“This workshop is applicable to both our professional lives and personal lives. Knowing this helps one understand how we react to things and knowing that there is a way to use our strengths to their full potential.”
