Developing a fully engaged project team leveraging Strengths

I practiced and studied leadership models together with aspects of cross cultures and people interactions very closely during my tenures in Indian army for 32 years and the United Nations for about 12 years. Subsequently embarked on another study of the Gallup’s^® strengths based development and got certified as a Gallup Coach. The strengths framework, for development of individuals, teams and organizations, had a profound effect on me and was intrigued by the immense possibilities for the development of potential.  Partnering with a subject matter expert (Murari Thayi, PgMP, PMP) in area of project management, a blended personal development framework has been evolved. This development framework is at the intersection of the Gallup model focused on talents and strengths, 21st century skills and project management.

I am grateful to PMI Bangalore chapter for the opportunity to present this strengths framework for

‘developing a fully engaged project team’, during a knowledge sharing session to the chapter members in Feb 2017. It was received well and feedback very encouraging. The members gained an understanding of this impactful development framework and how strengths can be brought to bear on individuals and teams to bring out the full potential. 

Some of the participants subsequently started their journey of self discovery of their strengths through one- on –one coaching. I was pleased with their interest in self development and willingness to leverage their strengths to unleash their full potential and that of their teams.

Career Choice by High School Students

Career Choice by High School Students

There is no dearth of career opportunities today and a variety of options are available to a high school student. As a high school student, you’re probably thinking about graduation and what comes next. You’ve got many important decisions ahead of you. What are you going to do after graduation? What are you going to study in college? What do you want to do with your life? These are just a few of the many questions high school students face. Finding the answers begins with choosing a satisfying career.

It's a big decision! With so many choices and so much to consider, finding the right career path is a challenge for many high school students.

What Career is best for You?

The first thing to consider when choosing your career path is YOU. Your talents, values, interests, strengths and personality play a big part in determining which careers will provide you with the most personal satisfaction and growth opportunities.

Finding Your Dominant Talents

The Gallup strengths framework and Strengthsfinder® assessment tool provides a scientific way to determine as to who they are and what their natural talents are. These talents are lifelong and will not change. These individual talents are recognized, understood and developed into strengths. Students are coached to operate from their position of strengths and partake in activities through active engagement, for achieving their goals in life.
