What is CliftonStrengths?

Developed by Gallup, CliftonStrengths is a research-based assessment designed to help individuals uncover their natural patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving—your innate talents.

Key Concepts:

  • 34 Talent Themes: Organized into four domains—Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building, and Strategic Thinking.

  • Different from Personality Tests: Rather than measuring traits or labels, CliftonStrengths focuses on what you naturally do best and how to develop those talents into Strengths.

  • Benefits for Individuals:

    • Increased self-awareness

    • Clearer decision-making

    • Stronger confidence and career direction

  • Benefits for Organizations:

    • Higher team engagement

    • More effective collaboration

    • Increased productivity and retention

In addition to individual coaching, we offer four signature trainings intended to help clients discover how to bring their best to their work, home and community efforts.

SIGNATURE TRAININGS

Stop Trying to Be a Well-Rounded Leader

Great leadership is grounded in knowing what you naturally do best. Through stories, humor, reflection, and strengths-based activities, explore how to develop your talents, manage challenges, and build complementary partnerships.

When Your Strengths Get In Your Way

The talents that fuel success can create unintended consequences when overused, misapplied, or running on autopilot. Explore your “strengths shadows,” examine intention and impact, and practice using your talents with greater awareness.

Moving From Intention to Impact

Knowing your strengths is only the beginning. Bring a real goal, challenge, project, or opportunity and build a strengths-based plan to move it forward. Connect what you do best with purposeful action, supportive partnerships, and accountability.

The Strength of Us

What happens when all your strengths enter the room together? Replace judgments about differences with curiosity and productive partnership. Discover what each person contributes, where strengths complement or collide, and how to work better together.
