Stop trying to fix your Weaknesses.
Fixing Weaknesses avoids Failure. It doesn't lead to Success.
Live a Strengths-based Life
To succeed, you don't study how others have failed. You focus on those who've done things right. You invest energy, build on, and create momentum towards what's going well... and it's contagious!
The same is true for your life - all aspects of it (not just school or work). Take the concepts and strategies you'll learn in this course and leverage them in all areas of your life - including home, relationships, and even time alone. Multiply your Success by developing your natural Talents and focusing on what's best about you.
Take a Strengths-based Approach to your Growth!
A Strengths-based Approach (vs. a Conventional Approach) in Personal Development results in exponential improvement over the same amount of Time, Resources, and Effort.
Your focus is on developing your natural patterns & Talents! You're not trying to be like everybody else or trying to do the same things as anybody else.
The Emphasis: Focus on Strengths, Manage Weaknesses
The Premises behind a Strengths-based Approach:
- Only some behaviors can be learned (e.g. skills, knowledge)
- The best performers deliver the same outcomes using different behaviors & approaches
- Fixing Weaknesses avoids Failure. Strengths-building leads to Success.
How this Program Works
This Course is designed with your Individuality in mind.
You don't think, feel, behave, or have the same experiences as anyone else. So, why do you expect yourself to conform to others' standards or expectations?
First, this program focuses on identifying your individual Talents and Strengths. It's designed to build on the insight from your CliftonStrengths Assessment results. (Imagine the possibilities - just your Top 5 results make you 1 in 33 million!) Your rare combination is a tool to show you how unique and valuable your Talents are.
Next, the program focuses on how your Talents affect you in your life - for example: at work, at home, in relationships, your energy levels, your motivations. Your Talents are so innate to who you are, you don't realize how they impact you every day.
Once you see yourself, your patterns, and how they affect you (good and bad), the program focuses on strategies and practical approaches for how to direct your Talents to work for you. The emphasis is to leave you with approaches and tools that you can use now, and again in the future - whether days, months, or years from now.
What You Get in this Course:
The program consists of video lessons, notes, worksheets/activities, and opportunity for further support through Live Q&A sessions.
It's packed with examples to demonstrate topics from various perspectives. And most importantly, it doesn't just talk about concepts at a high level. There are video lessons specifically designed to put topics into practice - that is, how to use concepts in practical day-to-day life.
