17 specialized card deck collections covering 205 unique strengths across personal character and workplace competencies. Discover what makes you exceptional and build on it.
Most personal and professional development focuses on fixing weaknesses rather than amplifying strengths
Performance reviews focus on gaps. Development plans target deficiencies. You spend energy shoring up weaknesses instead of leveraging natural talents.
You don't see your own strengths clearly. What comes naturally to you seems ordinary, so you undervalue it. Meanwhile, you chase abilities that don't energize you.
Your unique combination of strengths remains untapped. You're capable of so much more when you understand and intentionally apply what makes you exceptional.
You're in roles, relationships, or situations that don't leverage your strengths. The mismatch drains your energy and limits your impact.
Extraordinary performance comes from building on strengths, not fixing weaknesses.

Everything you need to know about the Strengths Collections
Personal Strengths focus on character—who you are as a person (kindness, courage, creativity, integrity). These are based on the VIA Character Strengths framework. Workplace Strengths focus on competencies—what you do professionally (project management, strategic thinking, communication skills). Personal strengths are about being; workplace strengths are about doing. Most people benefit from exploring both.
If you want comprehensive self-discovery, get the Complete Collections (103 personal or 102 workplace strengths). If you know you want to focus on specific areas—like leadership, creativity, or emotional intelligence—start with those thematic subsets. Many people begin with a Complete collection, identify their top strengths, then deep-dive with relevant thematic subsets.
Absolutely! The Workplace Strengths collections are excellent for team building. Each team member identifies their top strengths, then the team discusses how to leverage this complementary capability.
