Identifying & Activating Your Strengths

A personal reflection activity designed to help individuals discover their core strengths and intentionally apply them in daily life. Using one's strengths is proven to enhance well-being, boost confidence, and increase motivation.

This short but powerful exercise helps participants reflect on their talents and brainstorm meaningful ways to use them more regularly.

Note: You can also replace the first with a quick brainstorm to name 3-5 their strengths, without the list, and it will make a full exercise very short - 3 minutes or so - yet still effective.

Ideal for self-coaching, wellbeing programs, and strengths-based personal development.

This exercise is inspired by and relates to the "Signature Strengths Survey - VIA." While the primary method involves internal reflection, an alternative approach is to provide participants with the standardized list of 24 VIA Character Strengths to use as a self-reflection checklist.

Signature Strengths

A positive psychology exercise that helps participants discover and apply their core character strengths in new and meaningful ways. Based on research by Seligman and colleagues, this activity boosts long-term well-being and reduces depressive symptoms by encouraging daily strength-based action.
Participants complete the VIA strengths questionnaire, reflect on their top strengths, and develop practical ways to apply one of them in new contexts during the coming week.

Ideal for personal development, coaching, and strengths-based workshops, this exercise promotes increased motivation, happiness, and a more conscious relationship with oneself.

Ein Schnappschuss aus meinem Leben

Diese Übung ist gut geeignet, um Empathie zwischen den Teammitgliedern aufzubauen und jedem Teilnehmer ein tieferes Verständnis für die Hintergründe seiner Kollegen zu vermitteln (besonders geeignet für internationale Teams oder Remote-Teams). Sie schafft auch eine lockere Atmosphäre für den bevorstehenden Workshop.
