What is a Strength?
A strength is much more than something you are good at, or capable of doing well. It gives you energy when you perform it. Being motivated and enjoying what you do is what leads to engaged and productive individuals, teams and organisations.

What are your Strengths?
The intro report is a validating one, providing you with real insights not just with what you're good at, but the learned behaviours you have adopted which zap you of your energy. It also provides you with good insight into some of your unrealised strengths - skills you're actually unaware of and that you should consider using more. |
From a leadership perspective, having these valuable insights into your individual team members can be so useful in how you support and manage your colleagues and make the best use of the skills within your team.

Coupled with your Strengths Report, a great way to enhance and develop your strengths is to understand from others where your strengths lie. Keeping a note of the compliments and feedback you receive can improve your confidence.
Be sure to give others feedback on their strengths and don't forget to keep a note of all the things you're proud of.

The Power of Three:
|
Barbara Frederickson Ph.D, a Psychologist who studies positive emotions, created a 3 to 1 ratio of positivity as being the ideal to achieve optimal levels of wellbeing. The theory being when you have 1 negative thought, it takes 3 positive thoughts to counter it. 1 negative thought is not so bad, but if that negative thoughts leads to 10 more, you can see how that plays out. This theory help you recognise the negative and control them with the positives. See more from Barb here. I like to call them ‘The Bank of 3’. I use them with clients to help boost their self regard, and keep control of the inner voice, which could be more of an inner critic.
So, what is in your bank? Would different ones apply to different situations? You might have one for work, one as a mum, one as you? If this is new to you, I’d suggest starting with 3 amazing things about you, and keep replaying them in your head till them become concrete |
