Strength-Based Insights for Individuals and Teams

By the percentages: 32% of U.S. professionals are engaged, 51% are unengaged and 17% are actively disengaged based on Gallup polls. There are industries built on reversing these trends, some more effective than others focused on culture, wellness and motivation. What’s become clearer in the last decade is motivation isn’t something an educator or manager does to a student or employee, rather it’s a set of drives that live within them waiting to be discovered and shared. This module borrows from the strength-based movement to make visible values and strengths in students and educators that show up in every aspect of their work, life and interactions. Participants gain:
1. Awareness of fundamental personal values and how to express them every day.
2. Personal strengths that drive creativity, leadership and satisfaction.
3. Best approaches to work that highlights what a person brings to a high-performing team.

Competency Mapping

Competencies are characteristics, skills, knowledge and values that allow individuals to achieve success in a job. A competency model defines multiple competencies and performance standards that support success across different roles in an organization. Awareness of competencies help drive on-going clear dialogue between leaders and those tasked with getting the job done. This is equally as important in large organizations and smaller ones that are growing rapidly.
