Boost Your Clients’ Success and Fulfillment by Leveraging VIA Character Strengths
July 8, 2021 from 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

What is your big “Why” for being a coach? What brings a sense of purpose or meaning to your work? For many coaches, it is witnessing clients discover and develop their potential to be more successful and fulfilled. Maximizing potential is at the heart of the ICF definition of coaching and is a key tenet of Positive Psychology, the science of human flourishing, a fantastic theoretical framework for our work as coaches. Positive Psychology studies people at their best, doing what is meaningful, connecting with others, and enjoying life more fully.

Research on how people flourish led to the VIA Character Strengths model. Character strengths are positive personality traits, some of the best qualities in people. Used strategically, they are a source of innovation, motivation, resilience, and meaning. This interactive presentation with demonstration and breakout practice will teach you practical applications to weave character strengths into your coaching and develop your clients’ positive potential for greater success and fulfillment.
