The Deficit Focus Problem

Most personal and professional development focuses on fixing weaknesses rather than amplifying strengths

Weakness Obsession

Performance reviews focus on gaps. Development plans target deficiencies. You spend energy shoring up weaknesses instead of leveraging natural talents.

🤷

Strengths Blindness

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.

⚖️

Underutilized Potential

Your unique combination of strengths remains untapped. You're capable of so much more when you understand and intentionally apply what makes you exceptional.

😔

Misalignment

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.

Your Complete Strengths Discovery System

17 specialized collections covering 205 unique strengths across personal and professional domains

FlourishTalk Strengths Collections provide a comprehensive system for identifying, understanding, and developing your unique capabilities. We've mapped 205 distinct strengths across two major domains: Personal Character (103 strengths from the VIA framework and beyond) and Workplace Competencies (102 professional strengths).

Each collection focuses on a specific cluster of related strengths—from Character & Integrity to Innovation & Creativity, from Leadership & Management to Support & Development. Whether you're working on personal growth, professional development, team building, or career transitions, these cards help you discover what makes you exceptional.

Every card features a specific strength with questions designed to deepen self-awareness: When do you display this strength? How does it energize you? Where could you use it more? How does it create value?

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Strengths Collections

What's the difference between Personal and Workplace Strengths?

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.

Should I get the Complete collections or individual thematic subsets?

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.

Can I use these for team development?

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. It shifts team dynamics from "covering weaknesses" to "amplifying collective strengths." Many organizations buy multiple sets so each team member can have their own personalized deck.

How do these relate to the VIA Character Strengths assessment?

Our Personal Strengths collections are based on the VIA Character Strengths framework (Peterson & Seligman) and expand it significantly. If you've taken the VIA assessment, these cards help you explore your signature strengths more deeply through reflection questions. If you haven't taken the assessment, the cards help you discover your strengths through self-exploration without needing a formal assessment.

Are these suitable for professional coaching practice?

Yes! Many professional coaches use these collections with clients. They're particularly effective for career coaching, leadership development, and performance coaching. The cards provide structured exploration of strengths without requiring expensive assessments. Coaches often have clients complete "strengths homework" between sessions using specific collections.

How quickly will I receive my collections?

Your personalized PDF files will be delivered to your email within 24 hours of purchase. Most customers receive them within a few hours. The PDFs are high-quality, print-ready files you can use immediately on any device or print at home on cardstock.

Can I buy these as gifts for my team?

Absolutely! Strengths Collections make excellent gifts for team members, employees, or colleagues. During checkout, specify that each set should be personalized with individual names. You can purchase multiple sets and we'll personalize each one separately. Many organizations gift these as part of professional development programs.

What if I'm not satisfied?

We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you're not happy with your purchase for any reason, contact us within 30 days for a full refund. We're confident these collections will transform how you think about your capabilities, but we want you to feel completely confident in your purchase.
