Senior Director, Strengths Education
I teach and help organizations create development programs for their members.
There's a lot of variety in my current role. I work with clients to help them solve problems and set goals for improving their organizations. I create and develop programming and content to help individuals grow and develop. I present and teach in front of a wide range of audiences.
Here's the first step for high school students
Start exploring what you are great at. Don't settle for roles or occupations that aren't a good fit for what you are naturally gifted to do well. Always evaluate opportunities by whether or not they fit your unique strengths. Seek out relationships with adults that are your biggest fans and supporters and encourage you to pursue objectives and goals that stretch you to be your best. Read and learn about people that inspire you to pursue your own path.
