Did you know? Research has shown that individuals who have an active awareness of their strengths, and use them often, are 18x more likely to be flourishing.

 

I’ve been working as a career and executive coach for over 7 years now and one of the first things a career coach works on is opening or deepening your self awareness of your strengths, interests and values. Why is it so important that this is the first step?

 

This first step allows you to understand where your natural strengths lie and how you can use them more in your current role or seek future roles which allow you to use them so that you can be more engaged, energised and impactful. You understand what you love to do and when you are at your best.

 

Very often, not reaching your full potential is a result of working in a role which does not align to your natural strengths, abilities and interests. For the business owners, knowing your strengths will allow you to focus on areas which align to you more as well as put together your team with different strengths to create their magic for your business.

 

There is power in self awareness and in knowing your strengths. However, a number of research surveys have shown that many people do not have meaningful awareness of their strengths.

 

Having navigated a number of career transitions, I know what it feels like to work in a role which doesn’t allow you to use your natural or signature strengths on a regular basis or when the environment is not the right fit. This leads to being unfulfilled and feeling drained most days. Looking back at it now, it is obvious as I was not able to use many of my natural strengths in environments which did not support me.

 

I can help you in this masterclass.

 

I want to share with you below what playing to your strengths and being in alignment feels like:

​

• You feel engaged

• ​You feel more energised (and not drained)​ When work comes naturally or easy

• You feel in ‘flow’ (you lose track of time with what you are doing)

• You do not feel like you are always swimming upstream

• You feel like you could use those strengths all day

• You feel like you are contributing impactfully

• You feel more confident

 

I want to share the above feelings with you! Here’s what you can expect from this free Master Your Strengths Masterclass:

 

• Completion of the Via Character Strengths Survey (free) to get a report of your top 24 character strengths (I will share a link with you when you register for the MasterClass)

• Discuss how your top strengths (or character/ signature strengths) are the positive personality qualities that are easiest for you to express and use very day

• Discuss the relationship between strengths, interests and values in understanding your purpose

• We will look at a couple of activities and tools to help you understand your top strengths better, to capitalise on what is working for you already and uncover any blind spots you may have, to help you reach your personal goals more effectively.

• Q&A at the end of our 60-minute masterclass.

 

When you understand your signature strengths:
