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 testimonials from past workshop participants about why you should join: 

  • “Out of all the personality assessments I have taken over my time in school, this one was the most thorough, and I really enjoyed the detail it gave. The insights from this workshop gave me a better understanding of who I am, but unlike other personality assessments, it gave me workplace examples and showed me how my skills interact with other personality types. I think everyone should take the test.” - August 2026 student leader 
  • "I am taking away a better understanding of how I can utilize my strengths to excel in my work instead of working against them. I am also leaving with a deeper understanding of my team." - July 2026 student leader participant.

    “As someone who has taken this test quite a few times over my USF career, I appreciate how my talents are an accurate reflection of my leadership at a specific era of my life. While it's very much recommended to take this test once, I know that I will never quite be fixed in talents for my entire life. It was great to see where I was in talents right now and how that differed from folks on my team” - July 2026 staff participant
  • "It's a great moment to reflect and ground yourself in a team setting. CliftonStrengths also gives me the ability to seek confidence in my talents and strengths rather than focusing on my weaknesses. Bob is also wonderful! I will never get tired sitting through a workshop or session that he hosts!" - August 2026 staff participant
