To do this, three different self-discovery/assessment programs are available. This program … developed and administered by the Gallup Organization … uses an extensive self-evaluation survey to help individuals identify their personal talents and strengths. “The seeds of your personal greatness – you talents – already are in you. Therefore, your strengths quest – your quest to achieve excellence and become all you can be through your own natural talents – is really a quest to discover, develop and apply who you truly are.” Contact ACA to sign-up to complete the StrengthsFinder survey (a charge of $19 applies).
