Discovering Your Strengths
Do you find yourself dwelling on your weaknesses a lot?
Do you know what your strengths are? Can you describe them in detail?
Are there any activities at which you consistently excel?
What percentage of a typical day do you spend doing things that play to your strengths?
These are just a few of the questions more than 100 parish and agency leaders came together to reflect upon during last week’s Archdiocesan Leadership Institute (ALI) “Discovering your Strengths”. Thirty-four dominant signature themes with thousands of possible combinations were introduced utilizing the Clifton StrengthsFinder, a 25-year, multi-million dollar effort by Gallup to help a person identify their most prevalent strengths. We concluded the day with teams creating a model that represents their understanding of collaboration (see pictures). To find out more about how you might discover your strengths, contact us today. Books are still available or a member of our team can come out and facilitate the process for you and your staff.
