The Lakeshore Campus of Humber College will again be hosting two literary readings during the 2012-2013 academic year. The readings will begin at 12 noon, and they will occur in The Assembly Hall, 1 Colonel Samuel Smith Park Drive (at Kipling Avenue and Lakeshore Boulevard West). The authors will read selections from their works, and afterwards, there will be time for questions from the audience. The readings are free and open to the public.
Ray Robertson will open the series on Wednesday, October 31, 2012. He is the author of six novels: Home Movies, Heroes, Moody Food, Gently Down the Stream, What Happened Later, and David.

The latter book was a finalist for the prestigious Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction. He is a Contributing Editor to The Globe and Mail and appears frequently on TVO's Imprint and CBC's Talking Books.
According to The National Post, "Moody Food has the vibrancy of The Sun Also Rises ... Robertson's ability to catch the mood of the times is uncanny. The book is a rollicking good read."

She is the author of Swing Low: A life, A Boy of Good Breeding, Summer of My Amazing Luck, and A Complicated Kindness, an outstanding Canadian bestseller.

Of her writing, Maclean's says, "Toews' ability to generate comedy and heartache at the same time just soars."

The Gallup Organization has studied human behavior for more than 70 years with a goal to help organizations and individuals maximize their performance. This resulted in the design of an instrument and accompanying talent development program that is referred to as StrengthsQuest. The testing instrument - Clifton Strengths Finder - consists of 180 paired comparison items that are classified into 34 groupings or themes.
Prior to this workshop you will have an opportunity to complete the online Strengths Finder profile survey to discover your top five themes of talent. In the workshop you will explore your results and learn how to recognize and appreciate the unique talents and strengths of others and consider how these can be used in your work.
Come prepared to learn and have some fun!
