Strength = Talent x Investment What is Strength? Strength = Talent x Investment Strength – An ability to provide near perfect performance Talent – A natural way of positive thoughts, feelings or behavior Investment – Time spent practicing, developing skills and building a knowledge base

Implementing A Strengths Based Approach People are Unaware of Their Talents 70% are Falling Short on Focusing on What They do Best Studies Show that Core Traits, Passions, Interests are Relatively Stable A 23 Year Study of 1,000 Children Found that Their Personality at age 3 was Remarkably Similar to Their Personality at Age 26

My Talents Futuristic – Inspired by the future and inspires others with their vision Activator – Makes things happen by turning thoughts into action Relator – Enjoys relationships with others and finds satisfaction in working with friends to achieve a goal Arranger – Likes to organize and arrange things and resources for maximum productivity Ideation – Fascinated by ideas and finds connections between seemingly disparate phenomena Source: Strengthsfinders 2.0 Assessment

Benefits of Strengths Based Approach People who Focus on Developing Their Strengths are: Six Times More Likely to be Engaged in Their Activities Three Times More Likely to have an Excellent Quality of Life Our Challenge is to Align Goals and Volunteer Tasks with Natural Talents
