Confident Application of Strengths to Problem-Solving
My approach to personal and professional development leads from strengths – your talents and areas of skill, ease, and enjoyment. The most effective strategy involves capitalizing on strengths rather than compensating for or trying to eradicate weaknesses.
As an expert in adult development and creativity, I work with two complementary viewpoints about how adults function. One viewpoint centers on use of core strengths; another acknowledges that we have dominant functions but suggests we develop areas of lesser strength as we go through life.
To help clients explore the dynamics of their personality type and functioning, I use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Steps I and II. These inventories reveal not only how you perceive information and make decisions, but also the order in which you call on your personality's functions (Thinking, Feeling, Sensing, and Intuition) to do so. As you develop through and past middle adulthood, you will naturally be drawn to using all the functions of your type more fully and enjoyably.
To help clients identify and bring forward their core strengths, I use the Gallup International Research and Education Center's StrengthsFinder profile in combination with exercises I've designed that specify how to apply key strengths to solving problems and achieving goals. Whatever instruments or resources we use in coaching to increase confidence and skill in your areas of strength, the point is to claim our strengths with zest and pleasure, increasing problem-solving effectiveness.
