Creative, authentic, loving, forgiving, kind, persistent, prudent, and brave, are character strengths which are elements of good character valued across time and around the world.
Ever wondered how certain traits can shape a balanced and fulfilling life? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles chats with Shannon Polly, a trailblazer in positive psychology and the author of 'Character Strengths Matter: How to Live a Full Life'. Shannon is one of the first 100 people worldwide to earn a degree in positive psychology and has trained over 1500 US Army sergeants in resilience.
Her mission is to enhance the well-being of everyone she meets. Shannon's coaching practice is built on three pillars. First, she helps clients become aware of how their thoughts and beliefs influence their actions. Second, she uses her decade-long acting experience to teach leaders about powerful physical presence. Lastly, she aligns leaders' roles with their strengths to boost motivation and effectiveness.
Throughout the episode, Shannon dives into the Perma well-being model, which focuses on positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement. She discusses the importance of authentic relationships, debunks the myth of motherhood, and explains the difference between quality time and quantity time. Shannon also talks about replacing negative thought patterns with positive ones and identifying both trait and phasic strengths. She highlights how gratitude and forgiveness contribute to happiness and emphasizes the strength of love over fear.
For introverts, she touches on the significance of social intelligence. This conversation is packed with practical advice and profound insights that can help anyone looking to build a more balanced and meaningful life.
