Private Strengths Masterclass (Online)

Please note, you will ideally have a pack of At My Best Strengths Cards ahead of this workshop. If you don’t have a set already, you can get them here.  It would also be helpful, though not essential, to have a pack of the Good Question Cards with you. If you don't have these cards in printed form, you can access the online version via deckhive.com. 

Our online Strengths Masterclass is an interactive session, specifically designed for trainers, coaches and people professionals who want to develop their knowledge and skills around using strengths-based approaches in practice.

Enabling people to recognise their strengths and make good use of them, is one of the great joys of being a development professional. It is also a great way to tap into a host of personal and organisational benefits. 

Facilitated by Martin Galpin or Michele Deeks, the creators of At My Best®, this small group interactive workshop will introduce a new and engaging approach to strengths identification and development, while giving you the opportunity to try out a host of practical activities that you can use both face-to-face and during virtual sessions.

"It was an invigorating day which was informative, exceptionally well facilitated and fun. The virtual nature was not a barrier to learning, working together and building connections, and we were well supported by Martin and Michele, whose enthusiasm and professionalism was contagious!"

Nicola Willcocks, Coach & Facilitator

Who is it suitable for? 

Whether you are working in-house or as a consultant, this workshop will be ideal if you are a coach, facilitator or learning & development professional. It is also popular with other professionals who are looking to bring the best out of others, such as teachers, counsellors or SME owners.

"Many thanks for a really interesting and enjoyable day online. I loved your use of private session meeting rooms and you handled the technology in a very adept way, especially considering it was your first time. It was as if we were actually face to face!"

Allegra Stone, Behavioural Skills Specialist and Mediator
