The Nature of Strengths digital toolbox

This is the digital toolbox version of the Nature of Strengths.

The natural world inspires and sustains us in every aspect of our lives—from food to art, technology to architecture, medicine to engineering. It’s no surprise that it can also inspire strengths, virtues, goals plans and stories.

The Nature of Strengths uses the natural world to help people identify strengths in themselves and in others.

This beautifully illustrated set of 28 cards includes exquisite original watercolour images in the style of an 18th century naturalist’s notebook. Each card describes a plant, animal or insect characteristic and invites us to apply that strength to our own life.

For people of all ages, The Nature of Strengths can be used flexibly and creatively, both in groups and individually, making it the perfect resource for self-reflection.

• Digital version of the cards and a digital booklet full of ideas for using the cards
• Free access to the Funky Fish Feelings Digital Toolbox
• Extra support resources including ideas bank, card hacks and blogs

• Team building/leadership: Which three cards do you think are important strengths in effective leadership? Which card/s do you associate with each person on your team? Are there cards that represent qualities you bring to the team?

• Personal strengths: Are there strengths on the cards you don’t believe you have? Can you think of a time when you have demonstrated these strengths? If you were to become known for these strengths, what would you be doing more of?
• Opposites: Choose two cards that represent strengths that are ‘opposites’. Can you share a story about a time when you used each of these strengths? Have you ever experienced a time when you decided to change from one strength to the opposite? How do you know when to use each of these strengths?
