Team Strengths

Workshop
3 hours

Get clear on what each person brings to the team, and how to make the most of it.

This energising 3-hour workshop helps your team uncover, recognise and apply their individual and collective strengths. It’s a powerful way to build morale, improve collaboration and unlock potential that’s already in the room.
  • Recognise and appreciate the strengths of each team member
  • Compare and contrast strengths, identifying opportunities for collaboration
  • Build valuable team spirit and rapport
"It was a very constructive day, focused on learning about each other and how to work better as a team. It helps pave a road to building better teams, and signposts you on what needs to be done as further to help map out the ways people can help you do your best work."

In Detail

It’s extremely motivating to be recognised for your strengths in the presence of peers. Spend some time appreciating each other for the valuable strengths you all embody.

People rarely get the chance to hear what others truly value about how they work. This workshop creates that opportunity in a structured, down-to-earth way. You’ll explore your own strengths, discover how others see you, and build a shared awareness of the talent across the team.

We start with a simple but effective activity called Nicknames, where each person chooses a playful title that reflects their unique strengths or contribution. It’s a light-touch way to get people thinking about how they see themselves and how they’re seen by others.

Next, in My Strengths, participants reflect on what they’re naturally good at. Not just skills on a CV, but deeper traits and ways of working that energise them. Through guided prompts and paired conversations, each person gets a clearer picture of their real strengths and how to apply them more intentionally in their role.

In the Team Strengths activity, things shift up a level. Teammates take turns recognising each other’s strengths, offering specific praise and examples. It’s one of the most energising parts of the session: constructive, genuine, and often full of surprises. People hear things they didn’t know others noticed or valued.

We then move into a practical application with Strengths Swap. Team members bring a current challenge or task, and ask the group to suggest how their strengths might help. This turns insight into action and highlights the power of leaning on each other and not just working in parallel.

Finally, in Strengths into Action, we bring everything together. The team captures key takeaways, opportunities for collaboration, and practical ways to use their strengths more effectively moving forward. It ensures the session doesn’t just feel good, but drives meaningful change in how the team works together.

Teams leave surprised, energised, and with a stronger sense of who to call on and when.
TESTIMONIAL
Creative Huddle understood the needs of our teams and used their toolkit to deliver a short workshop on how to unite under a common purpose, how to share best-practice and ideas, and how to support each other's strengths and weaknesses. The session delivered the outputs we required and more. I would recommend their services to others.

Rate your team

Take our Team High Performance Scorecard for a clear snapshot of how your team is doing across the ten factors that matter most for high performance.
You’ll rate your team against ten statements. Read each statement carefully and decide how strongly you agree or disagree, giving each a score out of 5.

For each one, you’ll get instant feedback based on your score – so you can see exactly where you're strong, where you're vulnerable, and where to focus next.

About our workshops

The informality of our workshops enables participants to relax, express themselves freely and find common ground with others. This lends itself perfectly to ideation and team-building by encouraging positive interactions and idea sharing.

What exactly is a Talkshop?

We're glad you asked! Simply put, a Talkshop is a cross between a talk and a workshop. They're short, punchy, thought-provoking sessions. We take a key concept and explain it clearly, then help your team explore it together to understand how it can help them in their work.

FAQ

Extra details about this workshop.
What kind of teams is this best for?

Any team that wants to work better together. It’s especially useful for newly formed teams, those going through change, or groups that don’t always play to each other’s strengths. It also works well as part of a team development programme.

Is this the same as a personality test?

No. We don’t label people or stick them in boxes. You won't get a four-letter personality code. Instead, we focus on real-world strengths: what energises people, how they contribute to the team, and how others see and value them. It’s practical, not theoretical.

Will it be uncomfortable or awkward for the team?

Not at all. The workshop is structured and lightly facilitated to keep things comfortable and purposeful. It’s not therapy, and nobody has to overshare. We use simple, well-designed exercises that get people talking naturally with plenty of positive energy.

Can this work with hybrid or remote teams?

It works just as well virtually, with tools adapted for online delivery. In fact, remote teams often benefit most from building a shared understanding of strengths, as these things are harder to spot when you’re not co-located.

How many people can take part?

We usually recommend between 6 and 20 people, depending on how interactive you want the session to be. Larger groups can be accommodated with breakout structures.

Can we add our own bits to the agenda?

The short answer: no. The workshop’s been refined over dozens of sessions to create flow, build trust and deliver outcomes. If there’s something specific going on with your team, I’ll adapt what we discuss, but not the structure.

Can it be shorter?

Not if you want it to work properly. Cutting it short means cutting out what makes it effective. If you’re serious about the team, give it the time.

Do you provide a venue?

No. You book the venue, I bring the workshop. I can give you pointers if you need help finding a good spot. Just make sure it’s a space where people can think clearly, talk openly and move around a bit.

How much preparation is needed?

Very little from your side. I’ll run a short discovery call to tailor the session to your goals, and I’ll bring everything we need on the day. Just bring your team, a clear calendar, and an open mind.
