A Potluck of Powers: Valuing Individual Strengths to Promote Collective Team Growth

Objectives:

1. To debunk the myth that only certain strengths are associated with leadership roles
2. To identify individual strengths and acknowledge why one's own strengths are important
3. To understand how individual and collective diversity promotes new perspectives and ideas within teams

A diversity of strengths is needed in leadership. In this interactive workshop, participants will identify their own individual strengths and learn how their strengths are important in leadership. Participants will then explore how individual and collective diversity promotes new perspectives and ideas within teams.
