Building Strengths-Based Organisations and Teams

Strengths are at the heart of positive psychology - focus on what is working well and how it can work even better if you want to help people and organisations to thrive and excel. Research shows that knowing and growing our strengths helps us feel energised and engaged. We learn faster, perform better and strive to do our best every day. When those strengths are harnessed and combined with others, great results inevitably follow. It’s a win for the individuals whose strengths are realised and leveraged - and a win for their organisations, managers and teams. Realising strengths and the energy that fuels them is a natural route to enhancing valued outcomes such as employee engagement, contribution and collaboration while at the same time enabling individuals to maximise their potential to perform at their best. In this course, Sue Langley (The Langley Group) shares key principles that underpin positive psychology and positive organisational scholarship, and provide practical tools and techniques to identify and build strengths in individuals, organisations and teams. Translating research into practice and drawing on her expertise training people from all walks of life, she shares what works and what you can do to introduce, develop and embed a strengths-based mindset and culture. The course concludes with a short Q&A segment with Sue.
