Giving people license to take risks will more likely lead to some amazing things. Join us and discover how ESC Region 11 used their staff's strengths and talents to unleash a culture of leading and serving. Looking at change, we have realized everything we need is already within our own organization. Based on a 40-year study of human strengths, Gallup created a language of the 34 most common talents and developed the CliftonStrengths assessment to help people discover and describe these talents. By focusing on strengths first and building on that, as opposed to a deficit model, we have created an environment where people feel a connection towards the entire organization. Our teams greatest talents hold the key to success.
