The Living Your Strengths series (winter session) was held again at St. Ambrose in February. There were three sessions in total and I was able to assist in the third session held on Feb. 17th at Lehner Center. My husband Alan was able to participate in the class this time! He had already taken the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment and had a coaching session with me. But it was nice to have him attend and learn even more about the Strengths philosophy, his natural talents and Top 5 signature themes.
There were about 20 participants in this session led by Marie and Carol. My role was to assist as needed and more importantly, get the computers ready for the students to take the online assessment. This was easier said than done! The computers in the school library are Apple/Macs which I don't typically use. Also, when I turned them on almost all had to be configured to get rid of an "extra" version of Firefox that was running since the previous users did not exit properly.
Anyway, we got past the computer issues without any undue angst and the participants completed their assessments and reviewed their results. One of my favorite parts of Strengths Coaching is to see the initial reaction when people get there results. Oftentimes it is a time of great realization and "a-ha" moments as they are able to put into words what they have naturally just "done" over the years. I love this part!
The rest of the evening was spent debriefing and working in small groups.
There are three follow-up sessions of Supporting Your Strengths that take place on Feb. 21st, Feb. 28th, and Mar. 7th from 7-8:30pm. This overlaps with FIAT but I will try to participate!
