VIA Strengths Profile
Purpose
Identify character strengths that fuel engagement and meaning
How to Use
1. Participants complete the VIA Character Strengths Survey at viacharacter.org (free). 2. Receive a ranked profile of 24 character strengths. 3. Focus on the top 5 signature strengths -- how do these show up in daily work? 4. Discuss the bottom strengths: genuine weaknesses or simply less developed qualities? 5. Design a strengths-spotting practice: identify when each signature strength was used today. 6. Build a role or project plan that deploys the top strengths.
