What would your friends say were your strengths?

Twenty seven practitioners attended the recent Strengths Based Training organised by Birdwing Therapies and held at Imaginif. A trainer from St Luke’s Bendigo flew in and invested two full days of Strengths Based theory and culture, practice and tools demonstrations to workers.

. . ..A new tool that I hadn’t seen before now has found its way to my collection (look out all of my supervisees): Deep Speak. Designed to foster taking conversations to a deeper and more reflective level, it can be used in a multitude of ways – I answer myself, I ask you the question, I answer the way I think another person would answer. Perfect for ice breakers, group work or family therapy (takes circular questioning to a whole new level), I intend to use it in supervision as a new way of connecting to practice and indicators of connection to people.

Keran over at Birdwing Therapies stocks the full gammut of St Luke’s Innovative Resources. If you are looking for cards, books or stones (I LOVE the Pocket of Stones)  to use as the tools of your trade then give Keran at Birdwing a call.

I leave you with a Deep Speak to ponder and answer on behalf of the person you last negatively appraised:

What would your friends say were your strengths?

We each have strengths – sometimes we choose not to see them in other people. I wonder how really helpful that is to building healthy and safe communities?
