After being introduced to Clifton Strengths while in Graduate School, Rebecca has used the Clifton Strengths program as a tool to encourage learning in college aged students through understanding and building upon their strengths. Along with a fellow colleague and certified strengths coach, Rebecca proposed the creation of a Strengths based leadership program for the entire student population. She has experience proposing and developing this kind of program in a higher education setting. Rebecca and her Colleague were able to create a structure and build Clifton Strengths into experiential leadership experiences, full year programs with student leaders, Professional Staff workshops and individual coaching sessions.
