Overview

People perform best when they are doing what they are good at and what they love. Put simply, a strengths-based approach is one that focuses on what people are capable of and energised by, rather than on what they have done in the past or their technical knowledge. Instead of focusing on addressing a person's weaknesses, it places the emphasis on developing and enhancing their existing strengths and discovering their potential. Combining drama with expert commentary, this short course looks at how taking a strengths-based approach to development can deliver huge benefits in terms of identifying and maximising potential, improving engagement and motivation and boosting performance.
