CliftonStrengths Leadership Workshop for Senior Management - Pico Art

CliftonStrengths leadership workshop for Senior Leaders from Pico in Singapore facilitated by Victor Seet — "This CliftonStrengths team workshop was conducted for the global senior leadership team from Pico Art International, held in Singapore.

Participants left with deeper self-awareness and a shared strengths language to strengthen team collaboration among the global team.Interested in a similar workshop for your team? *Explore CliftonStrengths Workshops →*"

I was given a precise brief by the CEO.

Design and execute a 3 hours session for the senior leadership team. They are all very good at what they do, very experienced and come from three different regions. Each senior leader must walk away from the session knowing how their unique talents have contributed to their successes. Have the leaders validate and appreciate the varied talents among the team.

For me, that was certainly a big ask.

It took weeks of preparation - analyzing the strengths data, understanding the business context and designing the session.

Session went smoothly and thankful for the support of Kia Meng, Shayln Wong and Angela Chiang.

Feedback was fantastic and validated the energy I observed during the session.

What I took away:
- Small details matter when facilitating learning for senior leaders.
- Strengths data must marry with business and leadership context
- Show not tell. Demonstrate through evidence and insights from the data.

And I am personally most delighted in receiving a personal testimonial from the CEO.
If you want to create better teamwork, I highly recommend Victor and his team. I strongly believe that this will help with leadership transformation. Great Facilitation of workshop by Victor!

1 Global leadershipdevelopment program - US, EMEA, APAC

APAC - 16 cohorts in 2 years, 500+ leaders

Our team was responsible for the last day of the 4 days leadership program.

The key deliverable on Day 4?
➡️WHAT - Embody the learnings!
➡️WHY - Live out the Expectationsof Leaders defined by the organization.
➡️HOW - Leadership labs, Coaching practices and Difficult conversations.

Finished the last cohort this week and there was both huge gratitude and a lot of sadness.

My Highlights 🙏
1. Being part of a global team from SmartfulWorks LLC and delivering the program outcomes consistently across US, EMEA and Asia Pacific. Thank you Jenn Giordano, M.A., Ed. M., ACC and Ryan Soares, ACC for your kindness and belief in the AP team.

2. An amazing all 🌟 AP team with Damien O’Malley, Eya Pagdanganan, and Alice Chia. Our strengths complement each other.

3. Observing, listening and being in action is my key mode of learning. I have gained so much from the cross-cultural interactions, practicing my listening skills while interacting with participants from China, India, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Singapore.

My takeaways 💡after 16 runs:
1. Intellectual understanding appeals to those who prioritise cognitive intelligence. Body and emotional intelligence (learning through our body and emotions) are separate. The leadership labs clearly show the gap between conceptual self-awareness and embodied self-awareness.

2. Showing up as leaders has little correlation to where we are on the organizational chart or our leadership roles. It has more correlation with how we show up as humans.

3. Working across cultures amplify a core leadership skill - the ability to listen deeply beyond words. So much miscommunication happens when we listen to respond rather than listen to understand.

4. To navigate tensions or polarities is to first practice seeing the dynamics. That is increasingly a core leadership skill.

5. A Small door knob open a Big door. Transformation can happen when we consistently apply little tweaks to our habits.

Definitely a huge personal milestone and very thankful to God for this experience.

Looking forward to sharing these insights in the future.

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.

➡️What 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.

Many with Individualization have the “special” eye to see the unique features of people and objects while others see more generic features. Individualization see the “shades of blue” when others simply see blue.

Individualization is the talent in “observing”, “noticing” and “seeing”, particularly in uniqueness, nuances and visual details. Generally, work tasks including photography and graphic design, which require a considerable amount of “visual talent” 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 “see unique features” set you apart!

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
✅ identify the unique strengths of individuals
✅ increase appreciation of varied strengths and contributions.
✅develop greater respect and appreciation of each team member.
✅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! 😁

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!
