Most students don’t know what their greatest talents are; even fewer know how to develop or apply their strengths. Each one of us has a unique combination of talents, which embody our potential. If you strategically develop and apply your strengths, which takes intentional effort and the support of others, you can achieve levels of excellence.
Developing strengths for leadership is one of the most important goals of a college education (Clifton & Anderson, 2004).
WHAT IS STRENGTHSQUEST?
StrengthsQuest is a tool that provides you with the opportunity to develop strengths by building on what you do best – the way you most naturally think, feel, and behave as a unique individual.
The 30-minute online Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment has international presence as a talent measurement instrument and has currently helped students at more than 600 schools and universities to discover and build upon:
-
Behavior patterns that make you effective
-
Thought patterns that make you efficient
-
Beliefs that empower you to succeed
-
Attitudes that sustain your efforts toward achievement and excellence
-
Motivations that propel you to take action and maintain the energy needed to achieve
The Leadership Center at Fort Lewis College offers customized workshops for your group or organization as well as coaching for individual students.
