Description:
StrengthsQuest/StrengthsFinder (SQ/SF) books and concepts have been taking corporations by storm since they came out. Based on the Positive Psychology movement, the Gallup organization developed an assessment of sorts to help people identify their talents.

This RoundTable discussion will ask career professionals to share their StrengthsFinder stories — How have you used this with career clients? Why is this helpful to clients? What questions do you have? Facilitators will share their experiences using the assessment with college students and alumni. Applications in many areas are welcome!
