for the last 10 months i've been a participant in the Elizabeth Kearney Women's Leadership Development Program and last week we presented our final leadership plans and then had a graduation reception. what an incredible experience this program was! i brought my camera determined to get some pictures, but was so emotionally overwhelmed and entranced that i completely forgot to take any pictures. after the fact, i did take a picture of my project to show my parents and here it is. our project was to include our strengths (assessed through the gallup/clifton's strengthsfinder), goals, and leadership plans for the future. my top 5 strengths are activator, futuristic, communication, input and relator. you can find yours by taking the strengthsfinder assessment - if you want more info click here (it's usually about $20 w/ the book, but on amazon and barnes & noble it's around $13). aaron got to take it through a teaching development thing at MSU.
so here's what i came up with for my project:
my family produces some pretty amazing artists, but i'm not going to claim i received any of those creative genes. it was very cathartic to get my feelings and ideas in paint though. it was a very clarifying and empowering class. now to put my leadership plan into action...Y

Sounds like a good experience! Ben went to a conference at Gallup last fall and the author to strengths finder gave an awesome presentation. Sounds like I'll have to give strengths finder a try myself!
