What is the Three Good People Strengths- Spotting Exercise worksheet?
The Three Good People Strengths- Spotting Exercise Worksheet asks a client to name three people and list what each is good at. The first is a fictional character from a book, movie or TV show, the second someone they know, and the third themselves. Each one asks for a description of how those strengths get used.
How to use the Three Good People Strengths- Spotting Exercise worksheet
Run this one in session, in the order the sheet sets: fictional character first, then an inspiring person you know, then the client. Think about a fictional character is the easy opening, because naming strengths in someone invented costs a self-critical client nothing. Your clients can then transfer the same vocabulary to themselves on page two, where List your strengths sits with no prompt to lean on.
