Moving beyond insight alone
As leadership responsibility grows, the way you contribute may need to evolve. Capabilities that have served you well can remain valuable, while your role increasingly asks you to use them differently.
Insight into your strengths is a useful starting point. The next question is what your role now requires of those strengths, and whether familiar ways of working still fit the role, support the people around you, and remain sustainable for you.
These patterns are shaped by more than individual capability alone. How work is structured, what others rely on you for, and where responsibility sits can all influence how sustainable a way of leading becomes.
Strengths crafting in practice
This workshop introduces strengths crafting, an approach grounded in job crafting research.
It involves making small, practical adjustments to how you work and learning from what happens.
Rather than assuming a strength simply needs to be used more, the focus is on exploring how familiar ways of working may need to change as your role evolves.

Your Leader Profile
Your profile provides a structured starting point for exploring how your strengths, energy, and patterns of use are showing up in your current role.
Use those insights to identify one small adjustment to test between sessions, then reflect on what it reveals about your role and current ways of working.
“I attended Sharon’s Strengths Compass for Leaders workshop and found it to be an insightful and perceptive approach to supporting students to identify and work with their strengths. Sharon brings a calm and knowledgeable presence to facilitation and group discussion. I came away with a clear understanding of how this approach can be adopted in practice.”
- Patricia Muncey, Manager Field Education, Adelaide University | Participant, Strengths Compass for Leaders Workshop (2 days)
A different kind of leadership workshop
Conversations are grounded, reflective, and shaped by the realities of your role rather than generic leadership models. The small-group format creates space to recognise and understand patterns before deciding what, if anything, needs to shift.
The Strengths Compass provides a reflective framework for exploring how your strengths, energy, and responsibility are showing up in the way you work. From there, you test a small adjustment and learn from what happens.
This is not insight for its own sake. It is insight translated into practice.
Day One: Understanding the terrain
Understanding the Skills Discovery model and your Leader Profile
Exploring how your strengths, energy, and responsibility are shaping the way you work
Considering what your role now requires and where familiar ways of working may need to shift
Exploring task, relational, and cognitive ways of crafting your role
Designing one small adjustment to test between sessions
Day Two: Learning from experience
Reflecting on what your experiment revealed in practice
Noticing what changed for you and around you
Exploring what those changes reveal about responsibility and how work is organised
Using energy and context as information to guide your next choices
Identifying your next small adjustment
Building more sustainable ways of leading through experimentation and learning
Participants leave with
Greater understanding of how their strengths, energy, and responsibility are shaping the way they work
A clearer sense of what their role now requires of their strengths
Practical experience designing and testing a small adjustment in their role
Language for naming overextension and pressures in how work is organised
Greater clarity about where effort and responsibility are best placed
A clearer sense of what conversations, supports, or ways of working may need to shift next
“This training challenged me in all the right ways, not just in content, but in the quality of interaction and reflection it fostered. Sharon held the space with calm, confidence, and deep knowledge, responding with care and relevance to real workplace challenges. A great workshop I’ll be recommending to others.”
- Sandra Constantine, Senior Practitioner
