Strengths Blindness?

Do you know that over 2/3 of the population are blind to their strengths? You can google a topic like strengths use or character strengths and get a wide range of interesting responses, valid or not. Strengths typically are those things that come most naturally to us. The reality is that we have several kinds of strengths in the form of talents, skills, interests and people. Those strengths can come and go, but it’s our strength of character that will stick with us. It’s character strengths that bind all those other non character strengths. Studies show that when we intentionally use our character strengths, we can be anywhere from 3X to over 15X more goal oriented and fulfilled. In client team and coaching sessions, we use the VIA character assessment for individuals and teams. Their research over the past 20 years has identified 24 strengths of character. The world view of character tends to limit character to just a few strengths. Much of your character was formed at any early age from experiences and decisions. It’s changeable to some degree based upon life events.

Knowing how to elevate your character strengths is a powerful strength area. Reach out if you would like to hear more at a individual or team level.
