This seminar is focused on helping individuals have clarity on what their natural talents are and then using strengths-based or positive language to heighten their responses during interviews. Many interview answers are focused mainly on the “what”, and if you can change the conversation to emphasize the “how”, both parties have a more robust discussion and understanding of achievements and work preferences.
