Strengths-based Coaching
Take a look!
Gallup studies over decades indicate that people who do have the opportunity to focus on their strengths every day are six times as likely to be engaged in their jobs and more than three times as likely to report having an excellent quality of life in general.
As a leader-manager are you primarily focusing on your team’s strengths? Are you focusing on their weaknesses? Or do you feel like your team is not receiving the best of your leadership?
Strengths Guiding Principles
Per Gallup –
Themes are neutral. CliftonStrengths themes don’t make people good or bad.
Themes are not labels. The purpose of CliftonStrengths is not to provide another method of labeling people, but rather to be a tool to help people understand and appreciate the tremendous complexity and diversity of humanity.
Lead with positive intent. Becoming aware of others’ talent filters gives you insights into how they have a tendency to think, act and feel. The best opportunity to work and partner with others is connected to understanding, appreciating and using this information in a meaningful way.
Differences are advantages. Humanity’s differences are not necessarily problems that we need to solve. Instead, these differences are resources that could create an advantage when people develop and use them wisely.
People need one another. Strengths do not develop in a vacuum. We are uniquely gifted but it is with others’ support and encouragement that we can become the best of who we are. We need other people to help us see what we do not see for ourselves, appreciate our contributions and gain greater self-awareness.
HOW ARE YOU SERVED BY MY STRENGTHS?
Maximizer: I love working for and with the best – turning something strong into something superb. You can count on me to stimulate and enable what you do naturally best; driving you toward excellence which can lead you to a new standard of success.
Arranger: When faced with a complex situation, (and we humans are very complex!) my natural ability to configure multiple variables for maximum effectiveness will provide you with flexibility to explore new options; allowing you to find your path of successful strategies.
Strategic: My ability to sort through clutter with creative anticipation and clarity will help you sort out your patterns, play out alternative scenarios so you find the best route moving forward. You will experience my Strategic and Arranger dancing well together!
Learner: I love to learn and learning about those whom I serve, excites me! You have a beautiful life story and I want to hear about it!
WOO: (Winning Others Over): We WOO’s love a challenge to meet new people! Getting to meet you, connect with you and understand your desires is incredibly energizing to me. That energy will act as a catalyst for us to build a trusting relationship.
