Strengths-Based Coaching
Get Involved
I now have a greater focus on what makes me different, better, and special compared to my peers... This program is perfect for anyone who has a growth mindset and is willing to 'Dare Mighty Things.'
— Andrew Marino, Spring 2020 Participant
We are all unique and possess very particular sets of talents, or strengths. When we use our strengths often—in our studies, work, and daily life—we tend to find more fulfillment, success and happiness. Unfortunately, many people live much of their lives without using their strengths, or even being aware of them.
The Stephen R. Covey Leadership Center has created a strengths-based coaching process to help individuals uncover and apply their personal strengths. This high impact process helps them become more self-aware, develop their strengths, and find ways to live a more meaningful life.
