There is Excellence in Everyone

Is the fundamental philosophy of the Dependable Strengths Articulation Process© (DSAP), developed by innovators in strengths identification work, Dr. Bernard Haldane and partner Jean Haldane.  The process involves a series of engaging exercises that produce clarity about the core strengths of individuals, teams and communities.  In the process participants:

Share and examine meaningful stories from their lives, called Good Experiences, to reveal their distinctive set of strengths.  A Good Experience is something: you feel you did well, you enjoyed doing, you feel proud of.

Confirm and begin to take ownership of their dependable strengths by means of a Reality Test.

Practice talking clearly about their unique combination of strengths and related experiences in mock situations (i.e. interviewing, networking, annual reviews, project funding, and more).

Identify areas of contribution of their core strengths.

DSAP  greatly benefits individuals, groups and organizations.  It is utilized in career and life coaching, private and public organizations, education systems, employment training programs, and community and faith based organizations.  Purposes include career exploration and job search, leadership development, team building, personal development and more.

Participants experience a significant increase in knowledge, embodiment and confidence in their personal value and that of their team.  They greatly improve their skill and comfort with clearly and authentically conveying their strengths, skills and talents both verbally and in writing, and experience a genuine feeling of good will and connection with others during the process.  Participants also report a greater level of satisfaction in many areas of life.  They have secured meaningful work, negotiated for higher salaries, turned hobbies into paid work, returned to school, chose volunteer activities that aligned with what they truly care about, fulfilled life dreams and much more.
