About ShockerStrengths
The ShockerStrengths Initiative at 成人头条 strives to empower students in higher education by connecting them with their unique CliftonStrengths庐 to:
- foster a deeper understanding of their innate talents
- guide them towards academic, personal, and professional success
- cultivate a thriving community where every student can leverage their strengths to achieve their fullest potential
The initiative collaborates with Gallup to provide students with access to learn their
top 5 CliftonStrengths庐 and utilize resources through the complimentary Gallup Access
subscription to maximize their potential in academia, everyday life, and in their
career aspirations. Further, the initiative adopts Gallup's Strengths-Based approach
that focuses on talents, strengths, abilities, knowledge and capacities rather than
deficits, or things that are lacking to promote confidence, skill development, and
student success.
