Next steps with CliftonStrengths
For further exploration, your CliftonStrengths account has an e-book called CliftonStrengths for Students, the activity guide on How Students Can Use Their CliftonStrengths to Succeed, along with several other reports, printable handouts and resources. Gallup has a series of videos on each of the 34 themes on their YouTube Channel and a recently launched Podcast Series for listeners. Looking through a Teamwork lens, this page has some great information on The Four Domains.
Here are additional steps in exploring personal CliftonStrengths themes:
Step 1
Share your talent themes with family members, friends, professors and co-workers and ask them how they envision you using your strengths. We each know ourselves best, but the people in our lives often see ways we use our strengths that we don’t recognize.
Step 2
Reflect on how you can best use your strengths to approach any academic, professional or personal challenges you may be facing.
Step 3
In group projects, have each team member take their Clifton Strengths Inventory and then discuss how each member’s strengths can contribute to the success of your work together. They can request their Strengths code here.
Step 4
Book an appointment with a career advisor at the Centre for Career & Personal Development and learn how to articulate your Strengths in your cover letter, resume and interview answers.
