Gallup Strengths Finder DUE OCT 2nd (Just a few left to complete this)
I met with Dr. Spence our trainer yesterday. He has some great things planned for us! I am so excited for you all to experience this fantastic learning! Please be sure you get your strengths finder completed--when you have it completed please send me an email with your top 5 strengths. Next Tuesday from 4-5 might be a good time to sit down and take it -- it is actually pretty enjoyable, unlike a survey:)
Certified staff members---In place of any additional September staff meetings I am asking you to complete the strengths finder during the month of September. Please take the strengths finder by the end of September so we have time to get results back before our first official training.
