Are strengths-based assessments a "wolf in sheep's clothing?
Series 2 / Episode 6
Are strengths-based assessments a "wolf in sheep's clothing?" They're designed to help you focus on your strengths, but in this episode, Kari and Anna ask a critical question: are they actually doing more harm than good?
Anna shares a frustrating personal experience where a strengths-based review felt rigid, unhelpful, and ultimately left her feeling confused and boxed in, rather than empowered.
This leads to a deeper exploration of the potential downsides of these assessments. Do they truly unlock our potential, or more often lead to reduced support? Join us as we delve into this important topic.
