Focusing on Strengths can drive individual and team success.
This Strengths Hub offers practical resources for individuals and teams. These resources explore strengths of individuals, colleagues, and utilizing them at the team level.
Why Focusing on Strengths Matter
Focusing on the strengths of yourself, your colleagues, and your team can drive better results, accelerate skill development, and highlight the benefits of a diverse strengths based team. Understanding the variety of strengths on your team allows you to tackle challenges more effectively, leveraging each individuals unique capabilities. When individuals and teams operate from their strengths “superpowers,” problems can be solved faster, making goal achievement more efficient and impactful.
Praeliscere’s Strengths Hub
Below, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of the Strengths Hub. Select the title to go directly to the resource.
Applying Strengths to Goals
Applying strengths to goals increases the likelihood of successful completion. This exercise breaks down each goal, applying your strengths, identifying potential negative affects of the strength(s), and rewriting the goal to incorporate the strengths.
Build Confidence
Dive further into your strengths assessment results to build confidence. Blending insights from others and your own self reflection can highlight your strengths and reinforce your capabilities.
Check In Meeting Exercises
Strengths Focus
We don’t always have time for a formal training or exercise to do with a team. Shorter 5-10 minute exercises can be perfect options to include in monthly or periodic check in meetings with a leader and their team members. Choose one of the three activities that best fit your needs.
- This or That
- Real World Situations
- Discussion Questions
Strengths Show
and Tell
Strengths Show and Tell is an excellent exercise to showcase your own story of when your strength(s) were a superpower, while also highlighting strength stories for two colleagues. Post sharing discussion question options are listed to better reflect on the stories and impact they have on you and your team.
Team Problem
Solving
The Team Problem Solving exercise guides participants in identifying three problems prior to the group discussion. During the group discussion, the team will work through each problem by leveraging individual strengths for potential solutions.
Strengths Assessment Reflection
After completing a self-assessment related to your top strengths, dive into our Assessment Reflection for personal insight, group conversations, and post-discussion reflection. You’re not expected to answer every question; instead, choose the ones that resonate most with you or your team to guide meaningful growth and connection.
Not sure which self-assessment questionnaire to choose? Reach out—we’re happy to recommend trusted assessment options to get you started.

Discover Your Next Resource
While each resource has a primary home hub, human skills are interconnected and can be utilized across multiple areas. Dive further into our hubs for resource exploration.
Ongoing Application and Reinforcement
After a training, exercise, or assessment is completed, ongoing application and reinforcement become the focus. Learning is sustained through follow-up trainings, exercises, and/or micro-learning opportunities, as well as by integrating the topic into goals, performance conversations, recognition efforts, and peer learning groups.
As individuals build knowledge, experience, and confidence, they are empowered to lead, share insights, and support others in applying the learning as well. This approach reflects the meaning of Praeliscere with Learn, Apply, Lead.
