What you can expect

Have you ever asked yourself why you are the way you are? Why some things are extremely easy for you and you find other things incredibly difficult?

The simple answer is: because of your strengths. But of course it's not that simple. And that's exactly why it's worth taking a closer look at your strengths - so that you can use them in a targeted way and turn them to your advantage.

In this workshop, you will get to know yourself (better) through the world of VIA character strengths.

The VIA character strengths

The VIA character strengths are positive traits that are present in every person to varying degrees and significantly shape the soft skills of every person. They are based on positive psychology and can be used in a variety of ways - by coaches & consultants, managers, teachers and families, among others. 24 universal character strengths have been identified - including creativity, teamwork, gratitude, leadership and humor. They count as personal resources that can strengthen well-being, resilience, performance and relationship skills.

Focusing on your own character strengths helps you to get to know yourself better and also promotes a fulfilling, authentic life. If you recognize, value and make targeted use of your individual VIA strengths, you can implement personal resolutions more easily, overcome challenges and positively shape interpersonal relationships.

What makes the VIA Character Strengths so special is that this system is based on in-depth literature research and worldwide practical research, even in marginalized cultural groups such as the Masai or the Inuit. And at the same time, the VIA Character Strengths also do justice to every individual: after all, there are 75 trillion times more combinations of strengths than there are people in the world.

By the way ...

Studies by researchers have shown that employees who are highly aware of their character strengths are 9 times more likely to "flourish" than employees with low awareness of their strengths. And those who say they use their strengths to a high degree are 18 times more likely to flourish than their colleagues who barely use their strengths.

So, what are you waiting for? Sign up for the workshop and hold the key to more self-efficacy in your hands.

Dates

The workshop consists of two sessions. On the first date, I will introduce you to the VIA character strengths and give you access to the strengths test. You will then complete the test independently online (approx. 10 minutes). We will then evaluate your results together in an individual meeting.

12.05.-22.05.2026 | individual strengths coaching (approx. 1 hour - appointments will be arranged individually during this period)
