How to prepare for a gifts and strengths workshop

Choose a question for your current season

Preparation begins with a question that matters now. You might be considering how to serve in a neighborhood, communicate with a team, or use a developing ability. Write the situation in a few sentences. Name who is affected and what you want to understand. A specific question makes it easier to choose a digital station and recognize a useful connection during discussion.

Gather results with their original context

If you already have results from a gifts, strengths, or personality assessment, bring the provider name, assessment date, original labels, and any scores. A brief example from your life can help the table understand why a label feels meaningful or surprising. In the Q45 learning lab, enter each source as its own record. Your draft fields save with your connected learning record as you prepare.

Visit one digital station before the gathering

Each learning station offers a question, a short lesson, an activity, a reflection, and a learning check. Read one station slowly. Open its example if you would like a fictional situation to think through. Write what you notice and a question you could discuss. You can choose different stations as your learning develops; the progress dashboard helps you return to the workspace you want.

Plan how you will participate

Bring the phone, tablet, or computer you expect to use. Open the learning lab and check its saving status. Signing in connects your record to your account for returning across devices. Decide which observation you would like to share aloud. During the workshop, begin with that observation, listen to another perspective, and use the saved notes to continue the conversation afterward.
