Spring has finally arrived in full force here in Auckland, and I couldn't be more grateful. As our lockdown enters its 9th week, the promise of longer, warmer days is one of the key things that is supporting my happiness and wellbeing.

I'm also enjoying the challenge I set myself to use my strengths in new and different ways. I've seen in my own life, and in many clients' lives, how the deliberate use of our strengths boosts our engagement, energy, achievement, and vitality.

|
A new way I'm using my strengths has been to create an infographic called 'How to Use Your Strengths to Achieve Your Goals and Dreams'. Creating the infographic has allowed me to tap into my strengths of storytelling and simplifying complex information - and now I'm dialling-up my strength of personal growth to ask for your feedback (which will get you in the draw to win a prize!)

Back in my early 20s, I was given a piece of advice, and told that it works in every situation that humans face. I initially couldn't (or rather, wouldn't!) accept the idea that it could apply in every context. And I tried really hard to imagine a situation in which it wouldn't work... but even now, a couple of decades …

Appreciative Inquiry is a method for solving problems and implementing change by focusing on the positive.

'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' was one of my favourite fairy tales growing up. Salt is one of my favourite condiments. It seems weird to put those two sentences together.
