Strengths-Based Leadership
In this highly interactive training, participants will learn that to build a great team, they must focus on the strengths of each member of the team individually and collectively, cultivating respect for one another.

What we will learn:
- Explore the research on Strength Based Leadership
- Share our results of the StrengthsFinder assessment
