Our Approach to Building Strengths Based Organizational Culture
Our approach in helping to building strengths based culture is to focus on strengths as being descriptive, generative, environmental and transformational. This is why we take a behavior based approach to the understanding and application of StrengthsFinder. We create a relational and intentional connection with those we work with. Awareness of the behaviors behind strengths help better identify how you will make a significant and unique contribution to the team.
Exploring the StrengthsFinder Theme of Self-Assurance®
People with the Strength of Self-Assurance® have great faith in their own Strengths. They are confident in their abilities and their judgments.

I used to play chess all the time. I love the multi-dimensional nature of chess, the complexity and the way this game involves my mind. […]
Taking Ownership of the StrengthsFinder Theme of Responsibility®
People with the Strength of Responsibility® follow through on their commitments – they are known to take “psychological ownership” for anything they commit to…relationships, work, personal interests, volunteer opportunities, critical causes etc.
Exploring the StrengthsFinder Theme of Relator®
People with the Strength of Relator® have a profound relational capacity to develop a relationship with anyone. However, they might be drawn to people they already know. The Relator® may have ‘qualifications’ for close relationships because they know what it takes to build a close relationship. Others feel comfortable and even drawn to reciprocate friendship to a person with this Strength.
Don’t do These 3 Things if you Want to Build a Strengths Based Team
Assembling a strengths based team is difficult. You want to get the most out of each member. To do that, make sure you’re not doing these three things.
Exploring the StrengthsFinder Theme of Maximizer®
People with the Strength of Maximizer® measure themselves against excellence, not average. At times, excellence is the only measure of success, anything less is not acceptable. A person with the Strength of Maximizer® looks for excellence and the best around them. They are compelled to discover or maybe uncover excellence, and then refine it and apply it.
How to Understand the Four Domains of Strength
At LVC, we believe that you should be focused on your strengths. Instead of focusing on what you’re lacking, use the four domains of strength to avoid possible blind spots, both personally and professionally.
Winning Others Over with the StrengthsFinder Theme of WOO®!
WOO® is a social Intelligence theme. People with the Strength of WOO® have a great capacity to inspire and motivate others. WOO® is skillful in a social setting.
Exploring the StrengthsFinder Theme of Learner®
People with the Strength of Learner® love to learn in many areas and simply enjoy the process of learning, more than the topic of what is being learned. They enjoy learning almost anything, or perhaps going deep in only a few things. Either way, learning is fascinating and energizing.
