Description
Aim: Everyone has a unique combination of skills, talents, and knowledge
- also known as strengths. This workshop helps you identify your
individual strengths using the popular Gallup StrengthsFinder
assessment. We look at your strengths report, what these strengths mean
and how they can help you become more effective, productive and engaged
as you progress through your PhD research and beyond.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this workshop participants will have:
• Reviewed their individual strengths report
• Understanding of the strengths
• Explored how they use these strengths in response to problems,
tasks and decision making
• Had the opportunity to ask any questions they have about strengths
and how they can be utilised
Content:
* Introduction to StrengthsFinder – a brief overview of the
assessment.
* Getting to know your Top 5 – understanding each of your strengths
will help you to identify when they are working for and against you.
* Barrier labels associated with strengths, this is how other people
often see them.
* How your strengths work together – you are constantly using your
strengths, some situations will use all of them whilst others may only
use 2 or 3.
* Strengths in action – different situations require different
responses.
* Your strengths in a team.
* Team building with complementary strengths.
Pre-work: There is an online assessment which must be completed 5 days
before the workshop. This requires you to register on the Gallup
StrengthsFinder website using a unique code that will be sent out to you
in advance.
