Strengths Based Assessments and Career Development

Strengths Based Assessments and Career Development

Do you know your key strengths and are you using them on the job DAILY? Do you have a career plan in place to move you forward over the next two to ten years?

Statistics tell us that those who utilize their key strengths on the job daily are not only more successful, but are much happier and are more likely to be engaged in their work.

Join us for this session to learn more about strengths based assessments and best practices that you can personally utilize to develop your career in ways to match and maximize your personal strengths.

During this luncheon session, you will:

• Learn which self-assessments can help you determine your key strengths
• Better understand how to match your professional goals with your personal interests and values
• Better understand what actions you can take to help you attain your goals
• Develop a short term and long term plan to help you obtain your career goals
