What is LYS all about?
Dr. Don Clifton took survey data from over 2 million successful
people and came up with 34 Signature Themes; everyone has all 34
Themes to some degree. After answering from your gut a series of
180 questions using the on-line StrengthsFinderTM tool, you receive a
report of your top 5 (the five highest theme scores). These themes
tend to be action-oriented; you can build on these themes in your work and personal life.
