Why do some things come naturally and others don’t? Why are you drawn to certain activities and not to others? There is a simple and powerful reason - your talents. When you have the power to harness them your whole world can change. We see talent in people around us every day - the patterns of thought, feeling or behaviour that give them a unique edge. Sometimes it may seem effortless. In fact, our talents are key to our innate potential. When we tap into them we act with more confidence, inspiration and direction. But we often take our more powerful talents for granted or we may not even be aware of them. The Clifton StrengthsFinder was developed to help you discover your greatest areas of potential.</p> Thu, 28 Mar 2024 16:00:00 GMT https://www.dal.ca/faculty/agriculture/news-events/events/2024/03/28/clifton_strengthsfinder__discover_and_harness_your_key_talents.html 2024-03-28T16:00:00Z Vision Board Workshop https://www.dal.ca/faculty/agriculture/news-events/events/2024/03/28/vision_board_workshop.html <p>Join the Indigenous Student Collective in making vision boards for our final event of the year.
