Faculty workshop: Strengths-based advising

Sunday, February 16th, 2020

As a faculty advisor, you can help students appreciate and harness their talents and strengths. The better you can help students apply their dominant talents, the greater will be their potential to consistently act with confidence, direction and hope.

Join us for a faculty advising workshop from 4:15 to 5:15 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20, in Stevens 109. Sign up here.

In this workshop, you will explore your signature themes, discover how you use your strengths to manage the things you are responsible for each day, and embrace what motivates or energizes you.

You will learn coaching conversations to engage students in identifying and embracing their strengths and practice some strengths activities you can use in the classroom.

Wendy Flint is certified in strengths coaching and strengths-based teaching. Contact her for a Strengths Finder assessment code prior to the workshop at wflint@georgefox.edu.
