Margarita shows us how to * Start an inquiry into strengths with curiosity about the history of those strengths * Ask questions, such as, – "Which of your strengths are most in evidence in your life right now?" – "Give me an anecdote from your life that shows that strength in action." – "What weakens or detracts energy from this strength?" – "How is this strength relevant in your life?"

Shannon Polly talks about using awareness of our character strengths to get through these difficult times. Among other messages, she tells us 1) Use heart strengths such as kindness, especially toward ourselves. 2) Whatever strengths you have, they are the best ones for you to employ. 3) It's possible to overuse strengths, so dial back if your persistence or self-regulation is making you anxious. 4) There's always more to learn about your character strengths. Together with emotional intelligence and a sense of meaning, using them effectively is highly correlated to well-being in life and work. Visit Shannon's bio at https://svchange.com/Shannon

In every conversation, we highlight certain experiences and not others. So we are constantly writing our own stories. * Shine a light on what goes well, what is strong, the more luminous parts of our lives. * If friends lose jobs, help them separate their identities and sense of worth from their job status. * Ask "Which of your strengths would you like to be able to apply in the next job?" * Thicken the plot. People are more than one adjective! * Turn adjectives into nouns. After "I'm so explosive!" ask "What are these explosions like?" The problem becomes a separate entity.
