Harnessing Strengths for Workplace Success

“What would happen if we studied what was right with people versus what’s wrong with people?” - Donald O. Clifton, Father of Strengths-Based Psychology

While we are often told to work on our weaknesses, research shows that leveraging our strengths leads to greater performance, confidence, and well-being. This workshop helps you understand how your strengths show up in daily life and how to harness them during internships and in the workplace.

Workshop Activities Will Help You:

• Use your strengths to evaluate job fit and work environments.
• Build your personal brand on LinkedIn and in interviews.
• Apply your strengths to workplace scenarios to enhance effectiveness and collaboration.
• Begin your strengths journey and discover how to thrive by doing what you do best.
