34 STRENGTHS. ONE YOU.

Strengths-Based Team Building

As organizations reorganize to stay competitive, teams are evolving in response to the ongoing digitization of work. As such, they require new ways to make the best use of each other's skills.

Organizations thrive when various groups of people work together efficiently and effectively to get things done.

Has your organization invested in your team and leadership with the proper development programs and team building so you can move forward successfully in the future?

Our group and team workshops give participants the tools and experience they need to understand themselves and their innate talents better while developing a sincere appreciation for co-workers' unique strengths. By focusing on strengths, individual members experience an improved sense of well being and take greater personal satisfaction in team accomplishments.

All workshops are offered as full and half-day programs and a virtual workshop or in person.

Team Building Workshops

Discover Your Strengths Workshop

This affirming team building workshop is the perfect introduction to the StrengthsFinder model and ensures participants leave with the best tools to take action and harness the innate potential of their strengths. Through an engaging and interactive presentation, individuals get to know their top-five talent themes and learn to apply them in real-life situations for maximum impact. The team-building workshop can be designed for groups of various sizes.

Effective Teams and Partners Workshop

Strengths Now, Inc. works with leaders and their teams to better understand and appreciate one another through the lens of the 34 talent themes. As a result, teams are better equipped to form strategic partnerships, build trust, improve communication, engage in healthy conflict, and maximize the team's inherent talent. This team building workshop is especially impactful for teams of people who work together regularly and provides an excellent launch for a new team or a team-building boost for an existing team. Participants learn that the most effective teams know that no one is great at everything, but everyone is great at something. Through the experience of this powerful session, people learn to claim the best of what they have to offer, but their egos and personal agendas aside, and get the best job done.

Team Coaching for Performance

We add a very popular segment called “Best of Us” where each team member explores and identifies key information about what they bring to and need from the team. Individuals are affirmed and supported as they share their findings with their team. In this team building training, members of strengths-based teams are aware of each other's talent filters and coached to understand how they are inclined to think, act, and feel. This awareness helps the team navigate the issues all teams encounter, understanding how the team can work best together to accomplish its goals and performance objectives. This workshop is especially impactful for teams of people who work together regularly and can be scaled to work for small teams or entire departments.

Retreats

Customized, Strengths-Based Retreats

Imagine your group energized with each member bringing their full commitment and talent to the table. What if your team could have an honest conversation about what you need from one another to do your best work? Or, what if your team could push the re-set button and break through the same old team dynamics?

With its roots in positive psychology, StrengthsFinder helps foster genuine trust and respect, the foundation for success for any group. A one-day or two-day team building retreat can spark true understanding and appreciation for one another and generate new ideas and methods to capitalize on the group’s inherent talent.

We love collaborating with retreat organizers to be sure we set the right tone for your specific culture. Whether your group is small or large, Strengths Now, Inc. will structure your retreat so that every voice is heard. We will help your group have the conversations that matter the most for lasting impact.

We facilitate customized retreats for:

Corporations – Leadership Teams, Annual Departmental Retreats
Non-Profits – Board of Directors or Staff Retreats
Community Coalitions – Kick-Offs, Annual Retreats
Women’s Groups – Empowerment Retreats i.e., Using Strengths To Find Your Voice, Power, and Edge
Faith-Based Groups – Church Vestries or Religious Governing Boards

Using a retreat to build your strengths-based team built on trust, understanding, and an appreciation for one another allows you the opportunity to dig deeper and to know your team on a different level. In fact, any opportunity to align members' natural abilities with their roles and responsibilities is key to building long-term success and engagement.
