How working with strengths can boost inclusivity, wellbeing and performance – with Emily Hutchinson and Caroline Brown
The world changes fast, but the core nature of people remains constant, even in times of massive upheaval. The challenge of how to work (and coach) in a way that makes people feel included, well and able to perform at their best becomes ever more important, both for individuals and for organisations.
The strengths approach is all about engaging with emotions, which we know have a big part to play in our behaviour. This CPD will be focused on:
- the neuroscience behind the strengths approach
- how to recognise your own strengths as a coach and how to help your clients to recognise theirs
- how to realise the benefits of the approach through application for yourself and your clients.
In preparation, we encourage you to complete a strengths profile. There are a few different providers — we are independent, but we like www.strengthsprofile.com for its accessibility and ease of use, you can access a free starter profile from their website.
Emily is the founder of Apply Psychology and a Chartered Occupational Psychologist. She holds academic positions, is Associate Editor (Books) for The Psychologist and always combines theory with a firm emphasis on practice. She also has a love for all things technical.
