Description: Take a moment to think about how would you describe yourself to someone you just met. Does your answer reflect your role as a student, your profession, and/or an activity you enjoy? Often our responses have one thing in common; they only reflect what we “do.” This session will challenge participants to move the focus from just what they “do” to the more encompassing perspective of who they “are.” During this interactive session, participants will engage in activities to identify their strengths and learn how best to utilize those strengths to achieve personal, professional, and team-based goals.  Specifically, the idea of turning challenges into opportunities through creatively using your strengths will be discussed, and the presenter will share her own story of success in effectively overcoming a personal challenge.
