We all have to work with others – in the workplace, at home, within friendship and family structures, at school and within communities to problem solve, create new solutions or to support one another. In consideration of collaborations, a strengths-based approach allows us to flourish.
Working with our strengths, places a positive energy around what it is we are doing and who we are working with. Put simply, strengths are something you are good at and enjoy doing. Strengths are characteristics a person has that allows them to perform at their very best. Strengths are patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that, when exercised, will excite, engage and energize you. They allow you to perform at an optimal level and help you grow as an individual.
Pairing strengths with mindfulness allows us to bring our intention, attention and attitude to collaborations. When we are mindful, we are present and aware non-judgementally. Mindfulness offers the how for the practice of strengths – that is, to be intentional.
When working with other people we need to be aware of our self (what we bring, what we need, how we react, etc) and then of others (what they bring, how we connect, how we communicate, how we complement each other, what we can learn from each other, what triggers may be there that are unhelpful, etc).
This set of cards has been designed to support you to explore collaboration through a mindful strengths-based approach. Questions are posed to support you to personally and collaboratively consider how you can work together. I invite you to be aware of your strengths and others. I also welcome you to reconsider how you may prepare working with others, and indeed how you might problem solve any difficulties that come with working with others. Use the cards to reflect or support a discussion around themes of reflection, problem solving, logistics, intention, and awareness. The cards are designed to help you establish and re-establish key elements of collaboration.
