What is Giftedness?
When we use the term “giftedness,” we are talking about a special phenomenon that happens at the intersection of your abilities and your motivation. When you are able to do what you love doing, your soul is fed by that work and you are able to serve in a way only you can.
The Hendricks Center hosts Giftedness Workshops to help the DTS family identify their unique, God-given calling and start pursuing it. We would be honored to guide you through this process of discovering your giftedness. We first create an “owner's manual” on you through the workshop and then guide you through it in individualized coaching sessions. God has designed every person from the womb for specific “good works” that He has already prepared for them and intends for them to do. Come discover your individual design—giftedness—and learn how to start moving toward life and career options that make sense, given that design!
