Your Superpowers: Unleashing Strengths for Personal Growth and Team Innovation
May 19, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. ✨ Earns 0.75 Core Competency / 0.25 Resource Development CEUs
Facilitator: Amy A. Kessler is Founder of Potentia Coaches. Her passion for creating a sense of belonging stems from her deep belief in the power of Clifton Strengths, which highlights the unique contributions we each bring to our teams, clients and those we lead.
Discover how to tap into your hidden strengths to boost your growth and power up your team vibes.
Consider how contact lenses help us see the world more clearly. Our combination of talent strengths is like those lenses altering how we see the world around us. These talents tend to come so naturally that we don’t think about it; they are automatic. At our best, we are energized and fulfilled. At our worst, we are depleted and de-energized.
But it’s not enough to know our strengths. We must value our contributions and what others can count on us for. It’s important to understand what conditions, through relationships and tasks, our strengths need to thrive. As leaders, we must also be aware of the strengths of those we lead and collaborate with. Rooted in positive psychology and neuroscience, this knowledge helps us to bring out the best in ourselves and others, maximize productivity and innovation, and foster well-being.
What you will learn:
Introduce a preliminary understanding of your Top 5 strengths' role in the unique value each of us brings.
Raise self-awareness, and “other awareness,” by focusing on what’s right, rather than fixating on what’s wrong.
How overuse (or underuse) of our top strengths leads to our biggest weaknesses
