Workshop Offerings

  • Introduction to Strengths: Name it, Claim It, Aim it

  • Culturally Informed Strengths

    Workshop participants will be led through a process to explore the intersection of strengths, social identity and social context, examine unique intersectional identities and how they relate to strengths development. Focus is placed on strengths perception and reflections on how various dimensions of social context can influence how strengths are utilized and valued.

Testimonials

  • Aimee Arreygue, Director, Student Success Center, College of Education at California State University, Dominguez Hills

    Danny’s workshop series was incredibly grounding and insightful, especially within the context of culturally informed advising. As Director of the Student Success Center in the College of Education, I found his framing of strengths and their shadow sides to be a game-changer—it filled a gap I had long wondered about. It helped me better understand how to balance and elevate strengths while addressing challenges. Since the session, I’ve become more mindful of the broader context others bring beyond just their strengths. Danny’s approachable, sensitive teaching style created a space where participants felt safe to reflect and share. I highly recommend his workshops to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of strengths-based practices.

  • Manisha Chase, Assistant Professor at California State University Northridge

    Working with Danny helped me better understand how my strengths can have shadow sides, especially in relation to burnout. As a first-gen faculty of color, this insight is crucial for sustaining my career long-term. Danny created a non-judgmental space for reflection, offered practical tools, and provided deep knowledge of the strengths framework. I now feel more empowered to use my strengths intentionally across all my roles. I highly recommend working with Danny if you’re seeking clarity or a fresh perspective.

  • Catherine Conner, Reference & Instruction Librarian, California State University Northridge

    I strongly recommend the Culturally-Informed Strengths workshops. With Danny’s guidance and coaching, I learned to recognize my strengths and understand how to use them for my own work as well as for collaborative work. A key takeaway was realizing that my strengths also had “shadow” sides that prevented me from maintaining a balanced workload, which I have always struggled to achieve. Now I am better prepared to make thoughtful, meaningful decisions about both my collaborative and individual projects to achieve that balance. Thank you, Danny!

  • Guillermo Beade, President of SC Johnson Consumer Brands North America

    I highly recommend Dr. Danny Almeida to be hired to work with C-suite level leaders, managers, as well as front-line team members of any business to help create a strengths- based culture that can be built upon to maximize team building and effectiveness to achieve your organization's strategic goals. Danny was first hired by SC Johnson Lifestyle Brands to conduct a workshop with our Chief Marketing Officer and her team. That workshop was so well-received that she recommended we bring Danny to work with our Global Leadership Team for our annual retreat. Danny skillfully guided our team through a series of exercises designed to uncover and leverage our individual and collective strengths. The insights gained during this workshop have already begun to positively impact our leadership strategies and team cohesion. Based on the experience with our Global Leadership Team, we decided to invest in bringing Danny to work with several of our other teams, including Finance, Supply Chain, Research & Development, Global Product & Sustainability and Commercial Teams over the next several months.

  • Wendy Levy, Human Resources Director, City of Santa Barbara

    Danny's facilitation skills are second to none. He demonstrated expertise over the subject matter, seamlessly guiding us through complex themes and lessons with clarity and insight. His effective communication, combined with his approachable and positive disposition, made the sessions engaging and enriching. He facilitated discussions that encouraged thoughtful participation and fostered an environment where diverse perspectives could flourish. His knack for connecting with us and his ability to meet each individual where they were, both professionally and personally, was truly outstanding.

  • Jacqueline Sanchez, Assistant Director of Library Services, Whittier Public Library

    Dan showed us that we all have different strengths that we bring to our organization and sometimes we need to turn them up or dim them down depending on the situation. Now that we are all speaking the same strengths lingo it's helped us communicate with each other on a daily basis.

  • Bita Nazarian, Executive Director of 826 Valencia

    Danny incorporates a DEIB lens into the training, which helps the staff think about their identities in relationship to the strengths, and ultimately yield a more inclusive and supportive work environment.
