Strengths Speed Dating

More trust, understanding and collaboration through short, structured conversations about our strengths.

New or newly formed teams, onboarding, kick-offs and team days.

1. 1

   Exchange in pairs

   20 min

   We talk in short rounds (3 × 5 minutes, new partner each time) with changing partners and answer three prompts about our strengths.

2. 2

   Collect perspectives

   10 min

   We listen, ask questions and discover new sides of each other – and capture the most important insights.

3. 3

   Make insights visible

   15 min

   We share the most interesting insights in the team, e.g. on a shared board, and derive what we can make better use of in future.

• Cards with the three conversation prompts
• Timer
• Shared board (analogue or digital)

1. 1You can count on me for this: “What are 1–2 things you can always rely on me for?”
2. 2This really energises me: “What excites you and gives you a lot of energy in everyday work?”
3. 3This is where I need others: “Where does it help you when others support or complement you?”

• 3 × 5 minutes with a new partner each time – the fixed rhythm keeps the energy high.

• More knowledge about each other: what people can rely on, what gives energy and where support helps.
• Shared insights the team can make better use of in future.
