(Gallup, Inc.,2020). Recognizing your innate abilities as natural sources of talent leads to a deeper sense of engagement, higher productivity and more confidence. When one takes time to learn more about how to cultivate their strengths, interactions in the workplace among colleagues and leaders improve. Not because people receive you differently, but because you begin to see yourself differently. When you see yourself differently, your brilliance is unearthed, you become unstoppable and find yourself saying 'I've got this' before stepping into any room. During this workshop, participants will: Review Strength-based theory (Don Clifton/Gallup, CliftonStrengths) Explore indicators of talents and strengths Begin or continue their journey to better articulate their professional brand This experience can be scheduled for an individual or group.

They raise their hand fearlessly, ask questions without second guessing themselves and project this air of self-assuredness with ease. But what if everything is not as it seems? What if the almost effortless nature is actually a display of calculated sequences; a script rehearsed to near perfect performance? True confidence is not a single act, but a lifestyle..and when employed at the workplace, it’s called ‘office confidence.’ The higher your office confidence, the more likely you are to experience a stronger sense of career well-being. After attending this session, participants will to able to: Define office confidence and strength-based theory Name and execute the four-step cycle for developing office confidence Begin or continue their journey to better articulate their professional brand https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b4be4c595335ec7ecf5c0/1612763416155-B0S1RI07BMLA51EJNWI1/anchors.jpg Learning Experiences (Copy) - career anchors Part of sustaining office confidence is about identifying what motivates you to do well and leaning into positions and opportunities that allow you that freedom. In this workshop, through self-assessment, participants discover which one of eight Career Anchors (E. Schein) they most identify with. From there, participate in discussions and action planning to find additional ways to lean further into activities aligned with their identified career anchor. This experience can be scheduled for an individual or group.

Participants leave with a better understanding of where to focus their attention and energy for personal development, clearly articulated goals, specific requests of accountability partner(s), new journal, keepsake box for future plans and a sweet treat. Oh, and more confidence! After all, one of the keys to confidence is clarity of vision. That’s powerful for work and for life in general. If comfortable, host can offer in-person experience or online - think Pampered Chef or Mary Kay Party. You assemble the company you want and The Refining Company will furnish the activity supplies.
