What it is

Strengths, spotted from four sides

Your mentee finds strengths in their own view, others’ view, best moments and hard times.

When to send it

Send it when confidence runs low

It suits a start, a setback or a career choice.

  • Early in the programme to see what they bring
  • After a setback to recall what got them through
  • Before a career choice to build on what they do best

An honest frame

Use a strength in a new way

A top strength used in a new way lifted happiness for months (Seligman and others, 2005).

  • Their own words answers first, strengths after
  • Seen by others too what people thank them for
  • Hard times count strengths that got them through

Reading the answers

Start with the crowned three

The summary shows the crowned strengths, the most frequent one and the hard-times ones.

  • Crowned strengths their top three, in order
  • Showed up most the strength picked in most rounds
  • Only in hard times strengths that appear under pressure

Questions to ask

One question, then a follow-up

People who ask follow-up questions are liked more (Huang and others, 2017).

  • Which crowned strength surprised you the most? then: why did it surprise you?
  • Which strength showed up in hard times? What does that say about you? then: where else could it help?
  • Where could you use one of these more, starting this week? then: how will you know it went well?

Feedback that helps

Talk about the answers, not the person

Feedback can backfire, so keep it on the answers and the next step.

1 in 3 In a large review, over a third of feedback effects lowered performance Kluger and DeNisi, 1996

One strength this week

One strength, one place, this week

A plan that names when and where helps people act (Gollwitzer and Sheeran, 2006).

  • Which strength one of the crowned three
  • Where a task, a meeting, a person
  • When a day this week
