One of the troubles with bringing strengths to organizations is this: After employees identify their strengths through some kind of assessment (be it VIA , StrengthsFinder, Hogan or something else) they are often left wondering, "So now what?" McQuaid has figured out how to take strengths to the next level and actually apply them in the real world. Using her "Cue/Routine/Reward" model it's easy to pick one of your strengths that you would like to leverage given your current role or career aspirations, and apply it in new ways in just 11 minutes a day. I'm on Day 3 of my own and it works!McQuaid, a pioneer in the field of positive psychology and an executive coach for more than a decade, brings a fresh approach to applying your strengths. YOUR STRENGTHS BLUEPRINT will be a primer in organizations for years to come.Margaret H. Greenberg is the co-author of the best seller Profit from the Positive: Proven Leadership Strategies to Boost Productivity and Transform Your Business, with a foreword by Tom Rath

Michelle's explanations and methodology around strengths is brilliant and has assisted me with making many decisions based on what I do best and not getting distracted by opportunities that perhaps would not serve me well. She is a true inspiration. Shannah Kennedy Life Strategist
She's an interesting author, heralding from a brand marketing background and now employing her recent studies in positive psychology to explore and change the ways we approach HR issues in the workplace. This handbook is especially insightful in that it picks up where most online surveys dump us - after we haphazardly generate a list of our strengths. This book makes sure we identified our strengths correctly and then provides methods for exploiting these strengths to make tasks at work more enjoyable (gasp!). I think any book that gets us to identify our strengths and weaknesses has value. This one just happens to go a step further of providing readers with the blueprint - the strategies - to make their talents pay off. It's a fun read, self-effacing, charming and in the end, practical. For those of us who feel we could be doing more at work with less headaches - or even for the practitioner tasked with motivational HR strategies - this book is worth a look-see.
I was just saying to a colleague the other day that there is no equivalent of the StrengthsFinder 2.0 book for the VIA character strengths survey. And now Michelle McQuaid has written that book!She is an international expert on leveraging strengths at work and at home, and the depth of research that went into the book is remarkable. The strategies she suggests are practical and able to be applied right away. And I appreciated the stories in the book which show that she truly walks the talk. Most helpful is the end of the book where she gives you the strength definition (what it looks like), when you are at your best using it, what you are challenged by if it is a top strength, the shadow side of the strength (typically overuse) and ways to develop each strength. I can see using this section to understand others who have different strengths than you, as well.I will recommend that the companies who hire me to do strengths workshops buy a copy for each of their employees. Well done!
I've taken so many of those tests on strengths, what's great about me, leadership qualities, what's your purpose etc, but this is a really tangible, practical guide to finding out what my strengths REALLY are but more importantly, how I can BUILD and USE them in every day life.I feel super pumped about my where I'm heading as I'm building my own business and how I can tackle what I want to achieve based on my own strengths. I'm sure this will definitely become a great resource for our staff's personal and professional development in the office.Highly recommend.
