What is Superstrengths?

Superstrengths is a concept widely used in high performance environments to identify talent, to develop it and to assemble winning teams.

We believe it’s an extraordinarily powerful concept that has broader potential than sporting environments. We’ve written a book explaining Superstrengths and its applications but we don’t see it stopping there. To us, Superstrengths is:

• a concept

• our book

• this newsletter

• a talk

• a workshop

• a conversation

Or as legendary football manager and developer of players Arsène Wenger says:

None of us has all the qualities, but you have one dominant quality and that can help us to make a life, earn a living.

Knowing your superstrength can help you to make a life. What could be more worthwhile than that?

The Book

Superstrengths - How to stand out in a world of infinite choice, is a 150 page handbook that:

• explores, unearths and roadmaps the ways that you can stand out from the crowd and get picked.

• helps you identify your superstrength and use it to your advantage.

• helps you ask the question: “What is my point of difference?”

• shows real-world examples of how the promotion of our strengths can be more effective than working on our weaknesses.

We’ve kept it concise and actionable. Anecdotes and comparisons act as routes into the concept, showing you how your skills and personality might be suited to different applications of superstrengths.

For those of you looking for the most detailed and well-rounded exploration of the concept, the book is the place to go.

The newsletter

This letter is going to give a taster of what’s inside the book and explore some of the material that was perhaps brilliant but didn’t quite make it.

It’s also going to showcase examples of sueprstrengths in the world right now, as well as moments in public discourse where the concept suddenly gets mention. Once you’re looking for it, you’ll see how prevalent it is.

A talk

We’re very keen to come and speak about the concept to those who could benefit. We’d love to hear from leaders, teams and businesses keen to harness the power of superstrengths.

Then if you’re an individual who thinks they could do with a specialised performance plan to maximise their superstrength, we think we could help you out.

A workshop

For the most in depth and practical application of the superstrengths concept, workshops will get you a combination of material from the book and the talk allied to applied exercises to get your group thinking and improving.

What’s your superstrength?

This letter is here to stimulate a conversation. Let us know your experiences of bringing your strengths to bear, whether people spotted or skipped over your talent and how you think we can help you.

Everybody’s got their something. Superstrengths will help you show the world what it is.
