Life-Making Cycle
Purpose/Objective
To highlight the participant’s natural talent through use of the Strengths Finder Assessment so they may see what they can lean into to build into strengths.
How It Works
BIG IDEA: Strength = Natural Talent + Knowledge + Skills + Experience. Our natural talents can be unexercised muscles if not combined with the other three ingredients.
- Have participants print out report ahead of time and review themselves, highlighting what resonates most and come prepared to share.
- Emphasize the Strength equation in the Big Idea as a teaching point of how our strengths require “exercise”.
- Talk through the 4 larger categories each strength falls under and have participants circle their strengths on this chart.
- Encourage participants to celebrate the strengths that God has given to them by giving a few minutes to write them out and highlight what they appreciate most about how their Top 5 show up in their life.

Purpose/Objective
Helping to name the special grace of my life with the lens of three different assessments and how they uniquely come together.
How It Works
BIG IDEA: This is an opportunity to pause within the Clarity Spiral for interpretation and inscription and to understand how our individual unique qualities work together.
Give time for participants to populate the summary funnel with inventory from all 3 assessments and then pause to interpret how all 3 lenses help them understand their unique ability.
