Strengths at Work, Strengths at School
Jenifer Fox, author of Your Child's Strengths, shared with us a seminal experience in her walk towards a strengths-based life. A teacher, she experienced a principal who focussed on strengths. She kept waiting for him to tell her what to improve, what was lacking, what was wrong, but it never came. He kept focussing on strengths, and instructed her to do the same.
Now, Jenifer Fox is a leading proponent of strengths-based education. And she is calling on adults to lead the movement.
Her story tells us so much about what we have to get done, how it gets done, and where.
Jenifer started her story with an experience she had at work. Billions of adults, the very same people Jenifer says must spark this strengths movement in education; spend most of their waking hours at work. Her story also shows that what happens to us at work makes it into our social lives and communities. Her experience with her principal is likely one of the reasons we are writing about her today.

Generative Journalists Can Help You Build a Movement
When it comes to your objectives, count your newsroom in
A corporate newsroom that knows what you are working on will help you accelerate change.
Knowing where you are going, what you want to see more of is the first step. Then let your generative, corporate newsroom know and see what happens next.
