Wellbeing Tips—Influencing

posted on February 24, 2022

Here are the images I created for a social media series on some wellbeing tips for each of the talent themes in the Influencing domain.

Wellbeing tips for the Activator strength

These tips were inspired by Gallup’s books, “Wellbeing at Work: How to Build Resilient and Thriving Teams,” and “Well Being: The Five Essential Elements,” as well as what I’ve encountered in my practice.

We really enjoyed it and it was very well done! Having honest conversations about where there are struggles or differentiation as a team was super helpful and we will have you back when we add to the team!

Knowing yourself is the key to unlocking so much in your own life but we're so quick to judge and compare who we are against other people. What I've learned through this assessment and with the help of Wendy has given me permission to just be myself, because I'm the only one who can do that.

The personal deep dive was great because I got to know why I am the way I am. That leading into a team time was valuable to understand that I am important to other people as well.

I think I understood the concept of Clifton Strengths before the workshop, but Wendy opened up my eyes to many new possibilities for putting that knowledge to work. I feel much better armed and prepared to not only make my job easier, but to provide meaningful support to my teammates.

This was a great experience! Thanks for facilitating! What was most valuable was understanding how the negative words [sometimes associated with my strengths] are not defining for me.

This session allowed me to find that leaders could be any type. It’s a big relief when realizing that I can influence and lead while being authentic self.

Wendy really helped see where I might be exercising my strengths but either not knowing it or not thinking I was having as positive effect as I may be having. She also helped me hone in some activities to begin doing more of with my work teams.

The first half was familiar because I have taken a workshop before. But the second half—Core Needs, SLATHY, Balconies, Basements—was all new and extremely helpful!

Joining this company/team during a pandemic in a virtual world made it hard to build connections and understand people. This exercise has taken down any walls I may have felt about others on my team and I have a better understanding of them.

I enjoyed learning about the strengths of the team for a better understanding of how we fit into our roles and how we work together. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my strengths with the team to feel more understood.

Wendy best exemplifies the art of facilitation. Her deep knowledge of StrengthsFinders, her ability to communicate clearly, and her contagious positive energy, made this workshop and the end result of developing ours strengths beyond enjoyable to be a part of.

The best self awareness and understanding of the fact that I have strengths and how I can use them to be a better person and a better manager training I have ever had, and I have been taking many classes over the past 3 years. Thank you!

It's fun to watch someone using their gifts... a coaching session with Wendy is not only learning about my strengths and others, but witnessing someone use theirs to build up others! That's Wendy!

While the information was immediately engaging and practical, I am realizing days out just how profoundly helpful this material will be for years to come. Wendy stirred up needed conversation by providing tools and shared language to better understand our diverse team.
