With strengths to success: Your key to more self-efficacy in your studies, career and company

Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are? Why some things come extremely easily to you, while you struggle tremendously with others?

The simple answer is: because of your strengths. But of course, it’s not quite that simple. And that’s exactly why it’s worth taking a closer look at your strengths—so you can apply them strategically and use them to your advantage.

In this workshop, you’ll get to know yourself (good) through the world of VIA character strengths.

The VIA Character Strengths

The VIA Character Strengths are positive traits that exist in every person to varying degrees and significantly shape each person’s soft skills. They are based on positive psychology and can be applied in a variety of ways—including by coaches and counselors, leaders, educators, and families. Twenty-four universal character strengths have been identified—including creativity, teamwork, gratitude, leadership, and humor. They serve as personal resources that can enhance well-being, resilience, and one’s ability for achievement and building relationships.

Exploring your own character strengths helps you get to know yourself better and also fosters a fulfilling, authentic life. Those who recognize, value, and purposefully apply their individual VIA strengths can more easily achieve personal goals, overcome challenges, and build positive interpersonal relationships.

What makes the VIA character strengths unique is that, thanks to in-depth literature reviews and global practical research, this system applies even to culturally marginalized groups such as the Maasai or the Inuit. At the same time, however, the VIA Character Strengths also do justice to every individual: After all, there are 75 trillion more combinations of strengths than there are people in the world.

By the way…

Research has shown that employees who are highly aware of their character strengths are nine times more likely to “thrive” than employees with low awareness of their strengths. And those who report using their strengths to a high degree are 18 times more likely to thrive than their colleagues who rarely use their strengths.

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