This workshop is designed for career counselors who are seeking to expand their professional toolbox.
In the workshop you will learn:
Why Strengths?
People who use their Strengths at work are:
-
7.8% more productive
-
6x more likely to be engaged in their jobs
-
3x more likely to report having an excellent quality of life
-
6x as likely to do what they do best every day
The benefits of using CliftonStrengths in career counseling are two-fold. First and foremost, an awareness of strengths benefits the counselor in knowing how to leverage his/her dominant strengths in accordance to those of each client. Second, having insights into the client’s strengths will allow the counselor to consider how each of the client’s strengths can be applied to the various steps of the job search process.
The CliftonStrengths assessment looks at how people get things done, influence others, build relationships and process information.
Using this assessment, practitioners will be able to help clients leverage their strengths to identify specific ways to:
-
Communicate effectively as they navigate their job search
-
Gain confidence to build and leverage necessary relationships
-
Organize and prioritize information to make great career decisions
In this workshop, you will dive deeper into your own top 5 Strengths to be able to apply them to counseling conversations.

-
Analyze job postings for fit
-
Identify the company culture & work environment in which they will thrive

Conduct informational interviews through the lens of their Strengths
-
Craft branding statements and stories for interviews that will give clear evidence past relevant successes connected to their strengths
