Making the Most of Strengths
(3.5 hour workshop)

Embedding strengths-based practices across your organisation is a simple and effective way to improve staff wellbeing and performance.

According to research, people who use their strengths most are 15 times more likely to be flourishing than those that use them least.  There's also evidence to show that organisations that prioritise strengths-based managemeent practices are much more successful when implementing change initiatives. Add to that the research showing strengths usage is associated with higher levels of self-esteem, happiness and liklihood that you will achieve your goals and the evidence starts to look pretty compelling.

In this half day workshop we show delegates what they need to do day-to-day to build strengths-based practices into the way they work.

Designed by our team of psychologists, this session will increase delegates’ understanding of their own and others' strengths, helping to grow a work environment where everyone is able to be at their best more of the time.
