ONCE0985 - Strengths-Based Coaching

Course Description

We all have talents – naturally recurring patterns of thought, feeling, or behavior, which we can apply productively. How do we turn those talents into strengths, and use them to achieve near-perfect performance wherever we can? For this session, you’ll take Gallup’s CliftonStrengths assessment to identify your top strengths, before working through activities and discussion questions that will showcase how you use these themes in your work and help you set goals to use your strengths as intentionally as possible. This session is led by a Gallup-certified coach.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this program, students will be able to:

• Describe their personal strengths using the Gallup CliftonStrengths framework and assessment;
• Analyze how individual strengths can be used intentionally to achieve goals and meet challenges;
• Describe the benefits of a strengths-based approach to teamwork and communication;
• Create goals and action steps for continuing a strengths-based approach.
