Strengths-Based Team Workshops
- Strengths Discovery Workshop - (PREREQUISITE: Completion of Strengths Assessment) Once all of your team members have completed the Strengths Assessment, this is the best starting point to learn about interpreting the results and share the framework and language with your team. The workshop highlights individual strengths as well as learning about the combined talents of the team.
- Strengths "What About Weaknesses" Workshop - (PREREQUISITE: Completion of Strengths Discovery Workshop) After going through the initial discovery session, this can be a great follow up workshop to learn about weaknesses and how to manage them. We also dive into perceptions, misapplication and stress responses of our talent themes.
- Strengths-Based Leadership - (PREREQUISITE: Completion of Strengths Discovery Workshop) After going through the initial discovery session, this course will provide an overview to the four needs of followers and help leaders apply the framework to their own unique leadership style.
- Strengths-Based Partnerships - (PREREQUISITE: Completion of Strengths Discovery Workshop) After going through the initial discovery session, this workshop helps team members understand how different strengths can partner to create opportunities for excellence. People will look at the partnerships they have through the lens of strengths and compare and contrast what different talent profiles bring to the team.
