K-State Strengths for Students Conference

• It was interesting to see how intertwined my strengths are in my personal brand. As I approach graduation I can see that what I love to do and what energizes me can be combined by using my strengths.
  
• I learned more about how, in my significant stories, I can find ways that my strengths are intertwined. As I inspire others, build connections, and learn more about others, my strengths give context to my “why” and “how.”
• Learning everyone’s Strengths stories showed how unique we all are and how we can still find similarities and empowerment through our strengths.
• I enjoyed learning about how to combine different working styles of people to make a great team where everyone is energized through their work.
• This session helped me take strengths that were prevalent to myself and display them professionally. Whether that lies on my resume, or in job applications, or even in interviews, I feel like I can harness my strengths when applying for future careers.
• I really liked getting to strategize different ways of harnessing my individual strengths in a team setting and learning how to develop a strengths-based culture in my student organizations.
• I learned how to use my leading strengths domain to identify tangible action items that help me achieve a specific goal.
• I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!! Using a goal mapping sheet was so helpful to break down steps and use your strengths to achieve them.

I just wrapped up an incredible day at the K-State Strengths for Students Conference!

Workshops facilitated by fellow students allowed me to develop my own strengths story and consider how I can leverage my greatest strengths as I work on academic and workplace teams. These also provided space for me to build a network of peers who are committed to increasing well-being and engagement on college campuses and in the workplace.

One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to engage in personalized peer coaching where I was able to identify how to leverage my strengths to pursue my goals. Connecting with fellow students, sharing experiences, and learning from each other's journeys made the event even more enriching.

Let's keep the conversation going... What are your greatest strengths? How do you apply them to thrive?
