Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day? Are you looking for a new innovative way to develop relationships and effectively build partnerships in your position? Come join us as we talk about StrengthsFinder- a popular assessment that helps people uncover and develop their natural talents. This session will provide insight into the 34 different strengths, four leadership domains, and allow participants to not only understand themselves better but also how to successfully work with others.

Topics will include generating new data using publicly available data sets; partitioning prospects in unique and novel ways; and understanding how different methodologies inform and guide development strategies. These methodologies will be discussed in terms of their applications to the analysis and interpretation of prospect research with the novice practitioner in mind.
