Session Abstract:

Discover the power of capitalizing on individual strengths as opposed to encouraging well-rounded thinking and living. The key to developing yourself and those around you is to invest in natural, top talents.

Objectives: Each attendee will walk away with a deep desire to uncover their own greatest talents, unveil the talents of those around them, and develop themselves as leaders through intentional investment of their greatest strengths.  For years, the expectation of well-rounded employees and leaders has become the determining factor of what makes an individual successful. The goal of this presentation is to defy this misguided thinking by displaying psychology-based evidence focused on the exponential success of people who have consistently leveraged their greatest talents. Using research from Gallup and discoveries through the world renown Clifton Strengths, the methods of mastering success will be redefined.
