it’s all about
your strengths
ADVANCE SKILL BUILDING WORKSHOP
(ONE FULL DAY)
June 11, 2024, in Zurich – English
DISCOVER your unique path to success
Did you know that the quickest road to your success is strengthening your innate talents, rather than fixing what is wrong? In this workshop, we will apply the CliftonStrengths Assessment to lay out your unique, fulfilling path to success.
The big idea behind the CliftonStrengths approach is that you can gain much more by building on your strengths than improving areas of weakness. By doing so, you manage your weaknesses through your strengths, and make your weaknesses effectively irrelevant.
And even better: working from your strengths is energizing and makes you feel ‘in flow’, while trying to fix weaknesses feels draining and therefore you are less likely to persevere.
If you use your strengths consistently, you are 3 times more likely to report having an excellent quality of life, 6 times more likely to be engaged in your job, and 8% more productive at work.
There is only a 1 in 33 million chance that one person will share with someone else the same top 5 strengths in order.
Are you ready to unlock the most promising way to success for your unique abilities?
