Peer-Led Support Topic Meeting (Third Wednesday of Month) - April
Description
Peer Led Support Topic Meetings
Our topic this month is: "Understanding & Leveraging Our Character Strengths"
Researchers determined that there are 24 different Character Strengths that we each possess. Understanding and leveraging our own personal Character Strengths, can help us face life challenges, work towards goals and feel more fulfilled both personally and professionally.
In our April Peer-Led Topic meeting, our facilitators will share this research, so that you can uncover your own personal Character Strengths and explore how best to leverage them.
In preparation for these meetings, our Topic Committee volunteers suggest listening to Dawn's Video and bring paper and pen or your W Connection Journal to the meetings
