Resources for All Strengths-based Pros

Coaches & Therapists

Clients who have a coach that can spot and appreciate their strengths, and will prioritize strengths work in coaching, come to feel "known" and understood by their coach. This contributes to a strong and mutually engaging coaching relationship.

A focus on character strengths can be woven into any client/mentor relationship and can make the connection feel more authentic and meaningful. The first step is discovering the strengths of your clients.

Managers & Consultants

Engaged employees are involved, enthusiastic, and further their organization's interests. However, survey research finds that the majority of employees are disengaged from their work.

As an employer, it may be time to ask the question: "What opportunities are there within each employee's job to foster his or her character strengths further?" By giving your employees access to their strengths with their Character Strengths Profile, you can provide a common language to facilitate discussions, re-frame issues and set goals, both as individuals and as teams.

Educators
