Aoife O'Brien
About this episode

This is a synopsis of the key points from my conversation with Marijke Kershaw.

The main points include:

  • Using the Thriving Index for self-awareness and leveraging strengths at work.
  • How the Thriving Index supports organisations in high potential identification and succession planning.
  • The power of recognising and integrating personal "signature strengths" and managing "allowable weaknesses. 
  • Marijke's insights on job crafting to align work roles with one’s innate strengths.
  • Strategies for succession planning using "critical role scoring" and creating "success profiles."
