What is Strengths about?
Strengths are the unique combination of talents, knowledge, and skills that every person possesses. People use these innate traits and abilities in their daily lives to complete their work, to relate with others, and to achieve their goals. But most people don’t know what their strengths are or have the opportunity to use them to their advantage.
People who do focus on their strengths every day are six times as likely to be engaged in their jobs. They are more productive too, both individually and in teams. And they are more than three times as likely to say they have an excellent quality of life
The Strengths approach can be applied to large companies, small organizations, start ups, schools, non profits, churches, management teams, work groups and anyone looking to maximize engagement, resources and results. The Strengths approach is used by some of the world's most foremost companies like FacebookTM
