Gallup CliftonStrengths

In years of research and the study of successful people, Don Clifton found a common trait: they understand their talent, and they maximize it to achieve their full potential. CliftonStrengths, rooted in many years of research, identify the unique, natural talents of individuals. Strengths provides a common language to expand conversations about what is right with people.

Local leaders have had the opportunity to learn their strengths prior to the annual conference and participate in ongoing learning.

Mentors who are interested in doing strengths with their mentees should talk with their program coordinator. We prefer matches to be in place for 6 months or more, and regularly meeting and engaged. Mentors can complete strengths training in person or through virtual options, and once completed, their mentee will then do the same. From there, we encourage matches to utilize our strengths and resources and have conversations about their talent in action.
