See how your strengths show up to others.
A simple activity that allows people to share how they see your strengths showing up in everyday working together. Participants write short examples of when they’ve seen colleagues use their strengths and what happens as a result.
Write your name at the top of a sheet of paper and list your top 3 strengths.
Pass your sheet clockwise.
Each time you receive a new sheet, read the person’s name and their strengths and then write on the bottom of the page as follows; List one of the top 3 strengths and then write a short example of when you’ve seen them use it.
It might say “Bravery – when you stepped forward to present the pitch to a new client” or “Compassion – when you comforted me after noticing I wasn’t ok”
After you’ve written your example, fold the bottom of the page upwards so that no-one else can read it.
Repeat the page rotation until you receive your own page back.
Unfold the page and read the examples people wrote down for you.
What insights does this give into how other people appreciate your strengths?
Are there any you’d like to share with the group?
Use Strengths Consequences to show people how their strengths land with others. Colleagues write short, specific examples of when they have seen each person's strengths in action, which gives warm, concrete feedback.
Using this tool with a skilled facilitator means that discussions are focused, time is used efficiently, and the group moves toward consensus, making the session productive and impactful.
