The global strengths movement started decades ago when Don Clifton, Father of Strengths Psychology and Legendary Inventor of , posed the question, “What would happen if we studied what was right with people versus what’s wrong with people?” He believed that the most effective way to empower people was to see each person in terms of their strengths.

Today, on what would have been his 100th birthday, we celebrate Don and his contributions toward helping individuals and teams around the world unlock their potential. As part of the strengths celebration, share your top five in the comments.

You might not be gaining traction with your goals for the same reason we’re not gaining traction with the Sustainable Development Goals we set for the planet.

You and I have been there. We are technical experts. When we see a problem, look to our technical expertise to “fix it”.

Spraying too much pesticide on your crops, which is going straight into your drinking water AND running off into your reefs? Fine, we have a scientific solution for that… let’s first understand the microbial ecosystem on the surface of the leaves where the pathogens are thriving. Oh no, we’re messing up that microbial ecosystem using pesticides? Ok, so perhaps we could TRY using compost tea. Hard work, we know, but in the long run, the environment and you will be better off. “No way, the farmers will never buy it; we’re not trying that, end of story”. 😩

This is a true story. Sadly, the pesticides are still being sprayed 10+ years later.

So disaffected with how it was all playing out, I walked away, feeling ineffectual. I recognised that my lack of many things outside my technical expertise contributed to my lack of success. My frustration with my failings has spurred the conviction that meaningful change must commence and flow from within me. I had to transform.

The world is changing. We’re much more aware that nothing will change for us that does not come from within. Science and technology are tools, powerful tools. But only if wielded in hands and hearts ready to do so. Hands and hearts willing to do things differently, listen, and give and receive wisdom and knowledge with humility.

You need to bring your whole self to the table, as we won’t get there without you. I must do the same. We are connected in this intricately crafted world.

I recognize my role in this shift. Dissatisfaction prompted me to learn and leverage my strengths— in turn helping others discover their strengths.
