Special module for students: Students are not made out of cookies cutter.

Sound

1.  Most people wonder what Strengths Based Development is. The process of Strengths Based Development identifies his or her talents and strengths and develops them to ultimately lead to success in life.

2.         All of us are born with unique talents. Talent has been defined as “a naturally recurring pattern of thoughts, feelings or behaviours that can be productively applied”. These talents are discovered by taking the Clifton Strengths Finder Test. Coaches guide the participants, to convert their talents into strengths and leverage these strengths to achieve their desired SMART goals. These steps lead to Strengths Based Development.

3.         This concept is applicable to individuals, managers, teams, leaders and students.

4.         Individuals when performing from their strengths zones are positive, creative and innovative, resulting in greater production as they become willing workers and enjoy the work.

6.       Students, besides knowing their strengths, will become focussed towards their desired and SMART goal(s). They will know their domains of strengths, and work in that direction. Students will realise that they are not made out of a cookies cutter, but they are all unique in their own way. They are individuals and they can achieve the same goals by different behaviours.

8.         Strength has been defined as the ability to consistently provide near perfect performance; ie the ability to consistently produce a positive outcome, through near perfect performance in a specific task. To finish with strength, start with talent.
