Our Strength lab is designed to help the participants search for, find and grow their natural strengths.   We have 4 distinct learning zones tailored to meet the age group:

Overarching strength zone – In this zone, we explore the concept of “strength and how strengths relate to career pathways.   We define strengths, inbuilt gifts, and career pathways; the link between these words and why this is important.  We explore types of careers pathways and strengths associated with each career pathway.

Strength searching zone – In this zone, we use our 43 strength deck cards to identify natural gifts and inbuilt strengths. We group strengths into competencies and then support the process of linking strengths to career pathways. We work on techniques for recognizing and growing personal strengths and techniques for linking strengths link to a career aspiration, pathway, or dream.

Strengths learning zone – In this zone, we learn about types of strengths and how to use each type (overshadowed, standout strength, hidden strength, and overdriven strength). We use materials from strengthscope (a leading provider of strength training in the business world) to enhance each participant’s learning.  We learn how to maximize our standout strengths, how to grow our hidden strengths, and how to tone down our over-driven strengths.

Strength affirming zone- In this zone, we affirm our strengths and anchor them to our preference activities. We engage in action planning using a career map.
