Group Webinars and Workshops

Empower your team with research-based training sessions that explore and apply their strengths

Whether you work in human resources, lead a team or consult with an organization, you are likely looking for best practices to help your group succeed. Showing them how to tap into their character strengths—the positive personality traits that impact how they think, feel and behave—can help. Research studies show when individuals apply their character strengths they are happier, less stressed, more engaged and find more meaning in their work.

Through live facilitation and group discussion, VIA webinars teach groups how to leverage their unique strengths to improve well-being as individuals and as a team. Contact us for details on one of the topics below or ask about a customized session tailored to your needs and interests.

A VIA trained facilitator will join your group live on Zoom or a similar video platform with screen-sharing and recording capabilities. VIA webinars are private to your organization and conducted in English (closed captioning is available).

Prior to the webinar, you will have a thirty minute phone or video conference with your facilitator to plan the live session. Session recordings for future internal use can be negotiated as part of your purchase.

VIA was able to make the training meaningful and as a result, counselors are engaging in developing strengths-based perspectives with adolescents with disabilities. I am sure it will alter the trajectory of their futures in healthy ways.
