Join us for a two-day, in-person training designed to equip Western University staff and faculty with the foundational knowledge and practical skills to leverage CliftonStrengths in their roles and within teams.

You'll learn core coaching principles and engage in practical coaching exercises, focusing on both individual and team applications. We will address common questions related to CliftonStrengths and explore effective strategies for working with teams to maximize collective potential. Participants will have ample opportunities for practice, applying their newfound knowledge in real-world scenarios, both individually and within team settings.
