Finished the fifth CliftonStrengths team workshop with Pico Group this year. This session was for a team of creatives who were mostly designers with a couple of writers. As I do the coaching work on helping people discover their unique talents, I love the learning that comes with it.
โก๏ธWhat might be some talent themes among the 34 talents that enhance the creative work, particularly in visual arts and design work?
There are a number of talents I have observed commonly spotted in talented visual designers. I will like to highlight one particular one - ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ซ
Many with Individualization have the โspecialโ eye to see the unique features of people and objects while others see more generic features. Individualization see the โshades of blueโ when others simply see blue.
Individualization is the talent in โobservingโ, โnoticingโ and โseeingโ, particularly in uniqueness, nuances and visual details. Generally, work tasks including photography and graphic design, which require a considerable amount of โvisual talentโ will provide opportunities for the #Individualization talent to shine.
Depending on the other talent themes, this talent can be more pronounced in identifying unique features of humans or seeing unique features in objects.
For those with Individualization, do pay attention to how your natural ability to โsee unique featuresโ set you apart!

Well-Being at Work: Strengths & Energy Management

Managing our energy is a critical component of personal productivity. While each person has 24 hours, we each come to work with differing levels of energy, depending on how well we looked after ourselves.
Last week, I was invited by Yuen Kwan Cheung to speak on the topic of hashtag#wellbeing and hashtag#selfcare as part of the APEC Events Management Workshop for Marriott International. I spoke on hashtag#energymanagement and about using our hashtag#strengths at work. The energy in the room increased significantly when the leaders from Marriott were able to share how they used their strengths to lead their teams and do their work.
Managing our energy is more than hashtag#physical energy. Often hashtag#emotional energy determines how well we respond to personal triggers, conflict situations, unexpected changes etc. In the event management space, energy management is often crucial for success.
And a huge part of maintaining a high level of emotional energy is the feeling of using our strengths at work. During the session, I emphasized that using our strengths greatly impact our level of energy and sense of purpose at work.
Wrapping up the topic of leadership well-being was a fireside chat with Douglas Kim, GM of JW Marriott Hanoi. He shared his own leadership journey in Marriott, personal disciplines as a leader and how he dealt with leadership challenges. I had quite a few personal take-aways from his sharing.
To top off the fantastic week, I grabbed the opportunity to bring along my eldest son and we had some quality 1-1 time together in Hanoi. The workshop was held in Sheraton Hotels & Resorts in Hanoi and we got to experience amazing hashtag#hospitality.
It was an extremely energizing week of purposeful work and quality family time! And I'm very grateful. ๐

Together with Mark David, I ran another team workshop with Pico Group in Singapore. This was for one of the events team focusing on IP related projects and Festival management.
The goal was helping the team
โ
identify the unique strengths of individuals
โ
increase appreciation of varied strengths and contributions.
โ
develop greater respect and appreciation of each team member.
โ
forge deeper relationships and collaboration through the process.
We spent a considerable amount of time identifying the super powers and uniqueness of each individual through different activities.
The team also gave us space to share and highlight the special combinations of talents we observed on the team grid and the cutting edge these combinations brought.
A lovely time with the team! ๐

Some CliftonStrengths themes can be quite contrasting yet can appear within the same individual as a unique combination. Some other combinations provide the special powers to do specific type of tasks.
I love calling out these unique combination of talents, articulate the power these combinations create and see the faces of individuals light up. This is when I know the workshop is now more than just a workshop for many individuals.
Relator-Woo
Individualization-Strategic
Command-Positivity
Achiever-Empathy
Achiever-Adaptability
Activator-Self Assurance
The list goes on..
Had so much fun doing a workshop with a super fun group from Singapore Management University. The group's energy and enthusiasm of this group made me feel like I could give them my 200%.
Thank you for making my day so well spent and feeling so energized!

My first time in the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) campus. Did a CliftonStrengths Team Building workshop for the Registrar Office and had a lovely time. The group was very enthusiastic.

CliftonStrengths Teambuilding and Collaboration - Workforce Singapore
Did a full day CliftonStrengths workshop for the WSG Partners and Operations team. Focused on team building and how to leverage the talents to be more effective. As an operations team, it was extremely hard for everyone to come together so the opportunity created was treasured by the whole team.
There was great feedback and I was delighted to spend the day with them.
