2024 is officially underway, and like many of our clients and followers on Instagram, we’re seeing a lot of discussion around “New Year, New You.” But, before you can decide what that even means, ask yourself this question: What does it mean to you to have a strong year?

Maybe it means upleveling your self-awareness, feeling more productive and inspired, or finally knowing how to advocate for yourself and all you deserve.

The great news? Strengths-Based Development can help you with all of the above… and MORE. Discovering your purpose in your professional life is more impactful through leveraging your strengths.

What is Strengths-Based Development?

Strengths refer to an individual’s innate patterns of thought, feeling and behavior. People who understand their strengths have a better grasp on what makes them unique, how they prefer to work (and live), and know how their personality fits in with their team. Because of this, they have more clarity in understanding the role they play in helping their organization reach their goals.

Leadology’s frameworks infuse strengths-based development to ensure that business owners, executives, managers, and individual contributors can better advocate for themselves - creating clarity, aligning expectations, and fostering proactive cultures. More importantly, it ensures that all team members operate within their unique “strength zone.” This allows managers with direct reports to task them with clarity and direction, but also reduce turnover, shorten learning curves, and eliminate burnout.

You can read more about strengths-based development and how it can impact your team on our website.

What can individuals or teams do to increase their strengths-based development?

Personally, I know that understanding my strengths makes me feel more capable, driven, and self-assured. This is exactly why at Leadology, we lead many of our workshops and programs with discovering your strengths.
