In this episode: Steph and Mary are on vacation! And nerding out about how we use the Clifton Strengths talent assessment in our graduate student mentoring. Similar to how we use Meyers Briggs Type Indicator, Strengths is another way to help us tailor the mentoring experience to get the most out of every student (in the least stressful way!)
We discussed:
- What Clifton Strengths is (and what it isn't)
- How using Clifton Strengths has increased our self-awareness, helping us understand ourselves better, so we can be more strategic about how we find energy.
- Insights we've gained from using Strengths with our students for a little over a year now.
- Using Strengths as a common vocabulary to have difficult conversations with our students about topics such as wellbeing.
- So much more! This is a good one, folks.
Steph is in the final stages of becoming a Certified Clifton Strengths Coach.
