Each of us has a unique combination of strengths. Some of our most special attributes may remain hidden to us – because they seem so natural, we assume they are commonplace. Yet how we show up is unique to us, and even though we have strengths in common with others around us, the way we express them is personal. Join a session to discover your strengths, explore their light – and dark – sides, and to choose how and when to combine strengths to ramp up – or dial back – their impact.
Participants will have access to the FREE VIA Character Strengths Assessment as part of the preparation for the session. The assessment aids learning by personalizing the information. Case studies, small and large group work, and learning by doing are core components of our sessions. The psychological safety of all participants is very important to us, and we endeavor to ensure that everyone can take part in the way they feel most comfortable.
Listening objectives: Novelty; Resonance; Community; Provocation
• Hear something new – novelty.
• Link something you hear to who you already are – resonance.
• Learn from the stories of others – community.
• Listen to question – provocation.

About the Speaker
Ruth Pearce is the CEO of Pearce Insights and of ALLE LLC. She started her career as an Economist at a London Stockbroker but quickly discovered a knack for getting things done. She was the quintessential accidental project manager. After 25 years project managing in Financial Services, State Government, and non-profits, she burned out spectacularly in 2016. She realized it was time for a new direction and, having been a leader who coached and had leaders that coached throughout her career, she started exploring the world of coaching. Initially a 1:1 life and executive coach, she found her real passion when she started coaching groups and teams. Having published a book on team building in 2018, she was drawn into training and speaking which led to a move to Durham, NC in 2018.
Today as a coach and speaker specializing in group work, she helps people to increase their influence and self-mastery and transform their experiences through hope, strengths, bravery, and curiosity. Her new book is all about these topics. Written for people who want to understand how coaching can help them, Be Hopeful; Be Strong; Be Brave; Be Curious published by Wiley books comes out February 6th, 2024.
