StrengthsQuest™
At Salt Lake Community College, we believe our greatest potential lies in our strengths, and that we can achieve high levels of success by building on these inherent talents.
This is an introductory workshop for all SLCC employees to learn about their personal talents and how talents become strengths. In this highly interactive session, employees will explore their top five talents and learn ways to develop and apply these talents in their work at the college and beyond. Participants will be notified and given instructions after they register, regarding the completion of the StrengthsQuest™ Assessment prior to attending the workshop.
This workshop is for employees who have taken the StrengthsQuest™ or StrengthsFinder assessment and attended a Strengths presentation. We prefer that employees have attended the Exploring Your Strengths Workshop, but that is not required. Employees must have taken their StrengthsQuest™ assessment to find out their top five talents before registering for this workshop.
