Why take this training course?
Adopting a strengths-based approach helps individuals, organizations, and groups, to optimize their performance and realize their potential. This course will take you on a journey to discover and integrate the use of your own strengths into your life. It will also provide you with practical tools, techniques, and confidence to support others on their journey to discovering and fully utilizing their strengths.
As a key ingredient for developing and realizing potential, strengths lie at the heart of organizational and team development programs, coaching and therapeutic relationships, and can be used at home, school, and on and off playing fields.
However, unless we know what strengths are and how to use them, they can stay hidden in plain sight. This is where this life-changing course comes in.
This training will be of value to anyone seeking to help others realize their potential. It will be especially beneficial to executive and organizational coaches, organizational leaders, managers, and HR staff, educators, parents, counsellors, and therapists. It will also be useful for those working in the charity sector, who are often challenged to do more with less.
Research demonstrates that taking a strengths-based approach increases overall engagement at home, work, and school, leading to a more meaningful life. Using personal strengths increases resilience, well-being, and also serves as a buffer against mental distress.
Join us in studying for our Strengths Practitioner Certificate to find your own strengths and help others find theirs.

Course Curriculum
In this module, we begin our exploration of Discovering Strengths in an unusual place: reflecting on our favorite superheroes! Next, we examine how strengths are defined and take a hands-on approach to experience what it is like to work in our strengths zone. We end the session with mindful listening and learning how to ‘strength spot.’ The purpose of this module is to introduce you to real-life, practical ways to experience and identify strengths before moving on to consider the theory underlying strengths in the next module.
In this module, we take our first steps toward learning how to identify strengths by exploring both informal and formal approaches. First, we explore the philosophies underpinning the theories and examine fundamental differences between traditional and strengths-based beliefs around learning. Next, we look at two methods of informal strengths identification, examining our past behaviors and interviewing others. Finally, we introduce three formal strengths assessment tools and discuss what they are, their histories, and their differences.
In this module, we focus our attention on the three formal assessment tools. We devote a full module to helping practitioners gain a better understanding and first-hand experience of using the three major formal assessment tools for strengths identification. In this introductory session, we also discuss some of the terminology you may encounter when talking about strengths.
In this module, we provide an overview of strengths research and take a closer look at evidence-based benefits and interventions. We end the module by exploring the connection between mindfulness and strengths and how they can be integrated into practice.
In this module, we consider how to talk about strengths within different one-to-one conversations, both formal and informal. Because we’ll be using the term ‘coaching’ throughout the module, we clarify what we mean by ‘coaching’ and provide a broad definition that covers a range of conversation types.
In this module, we slightly shift our focus from working with individuals to looking at the importance of bringing strengths to work and practical solutions on how to actually do this. We briefly touch on research-based benefits and statistics on performance, engagement, and productivity.
In this module, we move outward from the individual to consider ways to bring the strengths approach into teams and groups. In this introductory session, we explore why group and team work is important for teachers, trainers, coaches, or volunteers within the community. We also briefly examine significant benefits and statistics on teams who have received strengths-based interventions and the importance of virtual teams since the pandemic.
In this module, we discover, explore, and examine ways to bring the strengths back into everyday life and look at very broad ideas as to how to apply strengths at school, in parenting, with family and friends, and also in the community.
