WORKSHOPS
Strengths Defined – Part I
A strength is the ability to provide consistent, near-perfect performance in a given activity. The key to building a strength is first to identify your dominant themes of talent, then to discover your specific talents within those themes, and to lastly, refine them with knowledge and skills. In this session, we will focus on learning how God uniquely designed and equipped you using CliftonStrengths.
Strengths Understood part II
Understanding strengths is a process that involves many steps, including identifying things done at excellence, claiming them as strong points, naming them, sharing them with others, consciously thinking about how performance can be maximized if behaviors and talents are aligned, adding necessary knowledge and skills, and actively using the talents whenever possible. Our objective is to help you gain a greater understanding of your strengths.
Strengths Applied
Taking the knowledge and understanding, we learned about CliftonStrengths, we will move into the application. Strengths-based development involves the identification of talents, integration into one’s view of themselves, and resulting changes in behavior. We will dive into how the knowledge of your talents and themes can be properly applied to your area of leadership.
Being the Leader Homeschoolers Need
Covid hit, and the world changed. Are you feeling battle-worn? Has your family struggled with all the changes and challenges of the past year? In this session, Connie will share a compelling vision for being the leader homeschool parents need.
Why CliftonStrengths?
More than 90% of Fortune 500 companies use CliftonStrengths assessments to create engaging environments where people are encouraged to make a positive impact in their communities.
As a leader, knowing yourself and your fellow leaders can make your leadership team stronger and more vibrant so you can reach and serve the needs of homeschoolers more effectively.
After taking the assessment, your signature themes report present your five most dominant themes of talent, in the rank order revealed by your responses to Strength Finders assessment. Of the 34 themes measured, these are your “Top Five.” There are no right or wrong talents.
Based on more than five decades of research, CliftonStrengths shows that people who understand their strengths and behaviors are the most effective at their work, demonstrating an ability to develop strategies to meet and exceed the demands of their daily lives, their work, and their families.
A review of the knowledge and skills you have acquired can provide a basic sense of your abilities, but an awareness and understanding of your natural talents will provide true insight into the core reasons behind your consistent successes.
