Strengths Quest

• Thoughts?

Team Building

• Introduce yourself quickly to your team members.
• Read each other's R&ecaute;umeé's. Discuss what they tell you about the other members of your team.

R&ecaute;umeé reviews

Reread the r&ecaute;umeés of the folks in your group, keeping the following questions in mind.

• What story does the r&ecaute;umeé tell? (If you had to summarize the person in two sentences based on this r&ecaute;umeé, what would you say?)
• What is something in this r&ecaute;umeé that you might adapt for your own r&ecaute;umeé?
• What makes this r&ecaute;umeé stand out from the others you read?
• What are two things you would improve in this r&ecaute;umeé?

I will wander through groups. I will also provide my own critiques later.
