Our lives are steeped with looking for what is wrong or what is missing rather than acknowledging, celebrating and honoring what is going well and what is already present. This continual focus on problems reinforces a deficit-based perspective that also put our attention on solving problems.
Yet when we use a strengths-based lens we shift our focus on the inherent assets, qualities, untapped resources and capacities in every individual, organization or community.
But how do we start shifting our lens and focus on strengths rather than dysfunctions?
For us to move from deficits to strengths we need to notice the language we are using on a daily basis, recognize our patterns and make our strengths visible.
A strengths-based approach is not about “superficial look on strengths”. Rather it is an approach that can lead to more self-discovery, self-awareness and self-advocacy.
It can be challenging to move away from what we have always known. Yet, a shift in our lens to strengths focused can amplify capacities individual might need to be able to move towards positive outcomes and flourish and develop as individuals.

- Notice Strengths
