Learn Why & How To Use Character Strengths On A Daily Basis
Looking for a research-based approach to help individuals from your team, group or organization discover what is best in them? Introduce them to their character strengths!
Character strengths are the positive parts of an individual’s personality that impact how they think, feel and behave. Applying their unique strengths makes individuals feel authentic and engaged—in all areas of their life, including at work, at home and in their community.
This webinar explains how character strengths work, why they matter and what research says about their benefits. Your group will be guided through the results of their VIA Survey to better understand their unique profiles and how to leverage their strengths to improve well-being. This approach helps inspire each participant to begin the journey of exploring and applying their strengths.
Through live facilitation and group discussion, this webinar will help participants gain self-awareness, understand what they contribute to the team and learn how to spot the strengths of others. A Q&A section is included to engage your group with key concepts and empower them to continue with strengths application.
