6. Groupwork : Strengths Interview
 Was it hard to state strengths in all categories ?
 Nobody shines in every area.
 We all have our own personal strengths and interests.
 Interview sheet distributed
 Divide into pairs
 Take turns interviewing one another.
 • Your task is to find out five of your partner’s strengths.
 • No matter how much your partner tries to convince you that he or she
 doesn’t have any more strengths, you must keep asking until you’ve written
 down five.
 • If your partner says that he or she has no strengths, ask specific questions
 about his or her interests.

7. Reflections on Interviews
 • Were you surprised to find that you had a lot in
common?
 • Did you learn anything new while you were
interviewing your partner?

8. Out in the world
 Why is it important to know our strengths ?
 because it helps us keep our self-respect, because it
helps us to make decisions.
 How can you continue to use these strengths in
everyday life ?
 Identify more than 5 !
 write down your strengths on paper and post them on
their bedroom wall, mirror, or locker door as a
reminder.

to persevere when we’re experiencing challenges.

unique.
