Summary
Steve Dosier: Blue Star Intel
CliftonStrengths (formerly StrengthsFinder) is one of the most popular instruments utilized in corporate training and coaching programs. In this episode, I welcome Steve Dosier, a StrengthsFinder expert formerly of Gallup and now with Blue Star Intel, to teach us about the history of CliftonStrengths (formerly StrengthsFinder) and help us discover how we can get the most value from the CliftonStrengths assessment.
Here are some of the resources we discussed during the show:
- StrengthsFinder 2.0 book* (a code is included in this book for the instrument)
- Now Discover Your Strengths* (also includes assessment)
- Living with Your Strengths book (also includes assessment)
- StrengthsFinder training for individuals and teams* (use code CFL10 for a 10% tuition discount)
- You can purchase a code ala carte to take the StrengthsFinder assessment at this link without purchasing the book.
