It isn’t until people know what makes them talented and unique that they know how to perform better in their job. Or how to find one that’s a better fit. And to build better relationships and be a better teammate. And to feel like they’re improving, every single day. Whether you’re an individual looking to improve or a leader wanting to empower your people to perform better, Employee Leadership, Learning & Engagement can help you through StrengthsFinder.

2020 Update: We are offering virtual CliftonStrengths workshops this year!

  • What is CliftonStrengths?
    The CliftonStrengths is the culmination of more than 50 years of Dr. Donald O. Clifton's lifelong work: leading millions of people around the world to discover their strengths. The simple online assessment and accompanying resources and materials are your portal to discovering your Strengths - making success in life and leadership within your grasp.
  • What CliftonStrengths workshops are available?
    We offer a variety of CliftonStrengths opportunities, including:
