Imagine what would be possible if you focused most of your attention:
-
On what’s working instead of what is not working
-
On your strong suits rather than “weaknesses”
-
On possibilities more than problems
-
On what can be done instead of what can’t
Imagine if others in your life and work looked themselves and their responsibilities through a lens of:
-
Challenges rather than issues
-
Opportunities rather than problems
-
How much they do know or CAN learn rather than what they don’t
-
Their strengths more than their deficits
-
On their ability to DO something instead of just try
The Asset-based Thinking (ABT) philosophy is grounded in the research concept of creating a small shift in the way people absorb, perceive, filter, and interpret information.
As ABT proposes, "When you change the way you see things, you can change anything." ABT helps individuals improve their social-emotional health and well-being by utilizing strategies that make a shift from a negative mindset to a positive mindset that empowers rather than victimizes that sees opportunities rather than obstacles, and focuses on strengths rather than deficits.
Transformational thinking and learning must be exercised, just as a muscle, for all of us to overcome the negative cycle of challenges that occur in our lives. Then, we will see our own inner strength and empowerment.
