As part of this new service, my colleague, Robert Chmielewski, and I have been working on a staff training workshop in the area of blogging for teaching and learning.

This project was particularly important to me because of the impact CliftonStrengths had made in my life and how the tool was being used to support post-secondary students’ development. I was both excited to lead a project I was passionate about and nervous about how it would all come together. A photo of Liana’s Top 5 report.
