Learn how to use your Strengths with help from George Mason’s Student Strengths Coaching team! Starting during the spring 2026 semester, if you’re a George Mason student who has taken the free CliftonStrengths assessment to discover your Strengths, you can schedule free sessions with fellow students who are trained in the 34 CliftonStrengths talent themes developed by the Gallup Organization.
In 2024, the Clifton Foundation funded our center to build the Student Strengths Coaching program. The goal of the program is to help George Mason students invest in their talents through peer coaching focused on CliftonStrengths. The program:
- Recruits and trains Student Strengths Coaches in the fundamentals of well-being, strengths, and student coaching
- Equips paid student coaches to help their fellow students recognize and develop their own strengths, at no charge to the student clients
- Is developing a vibrant community of student coaches who will develop their own strengths while building recognized skills for their lives and careers
When people use their CliftonStrengths regularly, they are…
- 50% less likely to be job hunting
- 43% more likely to adapt well to change
- 2x more likely to be inspired by their leaders
Our vision is that every student at George Mason has at least one peer strengths coaching session before they graduate.
Knowing your strengths is just the beginning – understanding and developing them is where the real growth happens.
