1/3 So what is strengths-based? Three ways for the professional working in helping services, first way limited to a kind of patronage, recognising strengths in person they are working with, a one way appraisal. Second way, a deeper level? Coming to a shared view of "strengths"
2/3 ..a dialogue where two or more people develop their understanding of potential capabilities. Thirdly, how about the professional gets suprised by the persons own assessment of their strengths and what matters to them? A dynamic extension of the strengths-based perspective
3/3 towards potential. Not a fixed professional assessment of someones capacities but rather an alive appreciation that people can surprise, constructively challenge and teach the professional. #ThursdayThoughts
