The Positivity Link 4: The Positivity Link to Strengths (17W0004-14)

Description

One of the most powerful bodies of research to come out of the field of
positive psychology, Strength Theory shifts the perspective from a
“deficit model” to a “strength model.” As important as it is to work on
our “areas of development,” we are now able to see that exponential
gains can be made in engagement, productivity, creativity, and
motivation when we are able to utilize our strengths and the strengths
of others. This webinar introduces two important strength theories: the
first of which focuses on character strengths, or our “way of being,”
and the second of which focuses on strength talents, or our “way of
doing.” Developing an understanding of your character and talent
strengths will change the way you invest yourself as well as how you
build the team that surrounds you; positively impacting your results,
the resiliency of your team, and enhancing your ability to lead in a way
that inspire admiration.
