This one runs as an interactive workshop: the hour includes exercises your colleagues do themselves, not only a talk.
In a deficit-focussed world, we very rarely ask “what’s strong” and instead, we default to a “what’s wrong” approach. What happens when we operate from a strengths-based culture? Research shows that staff retention, wellbeing, and personal/professional growth are all cultivated.
This workshop is rooted in positive psychology as Senior Practitioner (EMCC) Afsar Ali introduces the 24-character strengths and how to apply them at work. You will be given instruction on how to complete your own Values in Action survey to get your own bespoke strengths profile.
During the expert session, Afsar Ali engages the audience through methods like Q&A sessions, live demonstrations, and interactive exercises using the Mentimeter app.
In a world that often focuses on deficits, we rarely ask “what’s strong” and instead default to a “what’s wrong” approach. This tendency to highlight weaknesses over strengths can limit personal and professional growth.
However, when we shift our perspective to operate from a strengths-based culture, the benefits are profound. Research consistently shows that staff retention, well-being, and overall growth are significantly enhanced in environments that emphasize and leverage individual strengths.
This session aims to shift the narrative, helping participants discover the power of a strengths-based approach.
Rooted in positive psychology, this workshop is led by Senior Practitioner (EMCC) Afsar Ali, who brings extensive experience and expertise in this area. Afsar will introduce the 24-character strengths, a foundational element in positive psychology, and demonstrate how to apply them effectively at work.
Participants will learn how to recognize and cultivate their own strengths as well as those of their colleagues, fostering a more supportive and productive work environment. By focusing on what individuals do best, teams can achieve higher levels of engagement and satisfaction, ultimately driving better performance and innovation.
During the session, participants will receive detailed instruction on completing their own Values in Action (VIA) survey, which will provide a bespoke strengths profile for each attendee. This personalized profile will serve as a valuable tool for ongoing self-development and team building.
Afsar will guide participants through interpreting their results and applying their strengths in practical ways within their professional roles. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a deeper understanding of their unique strengths and actionable strategies to implement a strengths-based culture in their workplace, leading to improved morale, collaboration, and overall organizational success.
It is interactive, and the block above says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
In a deficit-focussed world, we very rarely ask “what’s strong” and instead, we default to a “what’s wrong” approach. What happens when we operate from a strengths-based culture? It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.
A workshop. The description of this session says so itself: the hour includes exercises and activities that participants do, not only an expert speaking. It still runs live and online, for as many colleagues as you want to invite.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Afsar, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
