Do your people have the opportunity to do what they do best each day? Workplaces, schools, and communities who make this a priority report higher levels of confidence, energy, engagement, and performance.
But how can you pull this off practically when you don’t have the time or money to design a strengths development training program and resources from scratch? The good news is our world-leading team of wellbeing researchers and practitioners have done the hard work for you by creating:
DONE-FOR-YOU PRESENTATION PACKS
Engaging, evidence-based slide decks that are ready for you to present. These tried and tested workshops have helped thousands of clients across the globe to identify and develop their strengths, map their team’s strengths, avoid strengths collisions, and confidently provide strengths-based feedback. Simply add your logo to the co-branded PowerPoint decks or move the content into your own workshop templates and you’re good to go.
PICK-UP-AND-PLAY FACILITATOR GUIDES
Easy-to-follow facilitator guides that can be flexed to your personal presentation style that put all the latest science at your fingertips. Save yourself hours of research and preparation time by selecting the content that suits your audience best to create an energizing and effective learning experience. Every deck includes: learning objectives, a session overview, a clear agenda break-down, with notes that speak to each slide, as well as bonus tips for running any activities.
PARTICIPANT PLAYBOOK AND FOLLOW-UP RESOURCES
To embed learning beyond the classroom, each workshop is accompanied by a practical digital playbook people can immediately apply and share with others. Designed to accelerate your people’s knowledge, inspire their practices, and give them the confidence to playfully keep experimenting with what works best for them in your environment. You’ll also receive access to follow-up resources including posters, bite-sized articles, surveys and podcasts with the world’s leading researchers.
Typically delivered over eight x one-hour, face-to-face workshop sessions, these materials can easily be tailored for anything between thirty – ninety minutes (depending on the discussion time you’re giving people) or joined together to create a half-day or full-day training session. They can also easily be transitioned to an online or hybrid environment.

How to develop strengths intelligently and strategically to unlock excellence – and what happens when we overplay or underplay our strengths.
How team strengths impact diversity, inclusion and belonging – using the science of mapping team strengths to become expert “strength spotters” for one another.
Why weekly strength conversations improve performance, and the three simple questions to ask for a strengths check-in.
How to use each team members’ strengths to build better relationships. Learning how and why strength collisions happen so they can be safely navigated without negatively impacting the team.
