About the Programme

"The great mystery isn't that people do things badly but that they occasionally do a few things well. The only thing that is universal is incompetence. Strength is always specific! Nobody ever commented, for example, that the great violinist Jascha Heifetz probably couldn't play the trumpet very well."
-- Peter Drucker

"They found that less blood flows to the brain, particularly to the cerebellum, cingulate gyrus and the left basal ganglia when we are thinking critical thoughts. Blood flows to those areas well, on the other hand, when we are thinking appreciative thoughts. Appreciation, it seems, is necessary for optimal brain functioning. Thinking needs blood, and blood needs Appreciation. Lovely."
-- Nancy Kline, More Time to Think: The power of independent thinking

OVERVIEW


Effectively identifying, developing & using existing strengths within your work and roles across a business will increase staff retention, engagement, make people feel energized and heighten employees’ value and loyalty to your business.

We will support you with strategies to ensure that you are working with your Strengths as individuals, teams or across your whole organisation.

Whether you are working on developing your own strengths, or those of a whole team or across an organisation, our aim is to support you to effectively identify, develop & use your existing strengths within your role and life, to ensure you feel energized and valued, working in alignment with your natural interests and passions.

Positive psychology is a large area and has created a lot of attention and research over the last few years. We are now much more aware and educated on the workings of the brain and impact of working on things that energise us as individuals rather than drain. When we are working on activities that create enjoyment and satisfaction, the brain processes and chemistry is markedly different compared to when we are working on activities that we do not enjoy. Enjoyable activities are far more conducive to effective learning, creating new neural connections, fostering positive and prolonged attention-spans, and creating heightened engagement. This very importantly all contributes to improved productivity. Therefore a key reason to pay close attention to the natural strengths that exist across the business.

Identifying & Developing Strengths


For Individuals, Teams and Organisations


Have you ever found that your strengths – those things you like doing and are good at – have got you into trouble at work? Perhaps, you were really excited about a new opportunity, but nobody else seemed to feel quite the same way. Or maybe, despite putting in your best work on a project, your efforts just kept misfiring. Or, did you work so hard on something you burnt yourself out entirely?

So how can you use your strengths at work so they’re “just right”?

Understanding and developing your strengths, as well as aligning your strengths with those of your role at work, can help you feel happier, more engaged, have a greater sense of meaning and higher levels of productivity at work.

This programme will support you to:

  • Conduct your own strengths audit
  • Create a personal developmental action plan in relation to your specific needs
  • Understand how you can use your knowledge of strengths to support your motivation and performance at work and in your everyday life.

Research confirms that when people are taught to develop, explore and apply their personal strengths there are considerable benefits for the team.

When we develop a general awareness of our strengths; explore ways to mindfully think about their development and; then apply them by setting goals and taking action, we feel more engaged, confident and positive about our work which has a direct impact on overall team performance.

This programme will support you to:

  • Develop a positive, Strengths-based approach to fostering Performance and productivity within your team
  • Use our tools to identify and develop the Strengths within the team
  • Work with people’s strengths in order to gain maximum motivation, engagement and results across the team
  • Develop strengths-based strategies for the team and allocate jobs and roles in relation to people’s strengths and interests so that at least 75% of the tasks within a job are in line with people’s strengths
  • Ensure people know & apply their Strengths and work mainly with tasks that energise not drain
  • Conduct a Strengths audit and implement actions to ensure your staff are feeling energised rather than drained

How can developing and using individual strengths support a high performing organisation? An organisation that can recognize, develop and use strengths within the organisation will:
  • Improve consensus and delegation – working with others in areas where you are less experienced is a sign of strength, not weakness. Developing a more consensual leadership style will focus on what you do best and promote effective delegation.
  • Improve engagement – Encouraging people to focus on their strengths increases team members enjoyment, engagement and productivity.
  • Ensure effective recruitment -Understanding and recognizing individual strengths encourages you to hire people based on their individual strengths which will help develop more diverse teams with a range of skill-sets, values and attitudes.
  • Encourage creativity -when you can be confident in delegating and passing on responsibility, you will be less likely to make people “fit” which will increase creativity and innovation.


This programme will support you to:

  • Develop a positive, Strengths-based approach to fostering performance and productivity
  • Assess the strengths that exist across your organisation. Using our tools we will identify Strengths across your business
  • Conduct a Strengths audit to ensure your staff are feeling energised rather than drained, and that they are in roles which honour their individuality and are aligned with their strengths
  • Develop strengths-based strategies and allocate jobs in relation to people’s strengths and interests so that at least 75% of the tasks within a job are in line with people’s strengths
  • Following the organisational assessment, create a Strengths Strategy for the organisation linked to the organisations vision and Business Priorities
  • Work with people’s strengths in order to gain maximum motivation, engagement and results
  • Include strengths into positive appraisal processes in order to raise motivation and engagement so that the individuals and team can be engaged to its optimum level

Please ensure you read about our unique tailored approach in order to understand that we will always tailor our programmes with the prime aim to address your challenges and meet your needs.

We will implement your programme ensuring minimum disruption to your other priorities and activities
