Professional Character Strengths Coaching

Professional Character Strengths Coaching is intended to target, “you, the professional.” The focus is on leveraging character strengths to help you best serve your clients, students, or employees. This may involve case consultation in which the coach offers opinions and ideas regarding your work with a specific client (individual or group). It may involve question and answer in which you and your coach grapple with a variety of questions you have about applying character strengths (and other elements of positive psychology).

Other common examples include discussing optimal character strengths interventions for a workshop or class you are planning to lead, being a strengths “sounding board” for a positive psychology consultation you are offering, or reviewing outlines and ideas of strengths projects you are working on. The goal is to help you not only understand optimal strengths applications but to enable you to thrive in doing so.
