Presentation: The Strengths-based philosophy focuses on what you naturally do well so that you can continue to perform at your best. Who doesn’t want to do their best work?
When you are In-Transition, it can be hard to showcase your strengths. For one, you may not be aware of them, or you may not be able to describe them in a way that fully demonstrates how you have utilized them. Typically, it is simply hard to find a way to work them into conversation.
This 30-45 minute Overview provides the background on why Strengths-based development is a key component to being successful and how you can begin to think about describing your Strengths during an interview.
The program covers these topics:
- What drives performance
- Strength’s statistics and philosophy
- Definition of Strengths
- Activities involving Strengths (exercise)
- Examples of Themes
- Example of how to answer interview questions with the HOW of your strengths.The 3 Key Leading Take Aways are:
- Understanding that we all have behaviors that we naturally do well
- These behaviors differentiate us from others
- Viewing ways to answer interview questions based on one’s strengthsIf interested, coaching opportunities will be offered at a discounted rate for those in the session.About the Speaker: Heather Kay has been an HR professional for over 20 years focusing on how to elevate others as they achieve success with others through learning & development and talent management programs.
