All too often, our natural talents go untapped. From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to fixing our shortcomings than to developing our strengths. \u0026nbsp; To help people uncover their talents, Gallup introduced the first version of its online assessment, StrengthsFinder, in the 2001 management book Now, Discover Your Strengths. The book spent more than five years on the bestseller lists and ignited a global conversation, while StrengthsFinder helped millions to discover their top five talents. \u0026nbsp; In StrengthsFinder 2.0 Gallup unveiled the new and improved version of its popular assessment, language of 34 themes, and much more. While you can read this book in one sitting, you\u0027ll use it as a reference for decades. \u0026nbsp; Loaded with hundreds of strategies for applying your strengths, this Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and USA Today bestseller will change the way you look at yourself -- and the world around you -- forever.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFrom \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/strengths.gallup.com\/110440\/About-StrengthsFinder-2.aspx\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/strengths.gallup.com\/110440\/About-StrengthsFinder-2.aspx\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDr. Mary Lynn Realff, Associate Professor in Material Sciences and Engineering and Co-Director of the Center for the Study of Women, Science, and Technology, will conduct a StrengthsFinder workshop with WST Lrn C residents during dinner.
