"There is no more effective way to empower people than to see each person in terms of his or her strengths." –Donald Clifton.
We are all born with natural talents–those things that we do naturally well, and often without thinking about it.
In a world where we are told to focus on our weaknesses and work on becoming ‘well-rounded’, success by innate ability is becoming more and more stifled.
Using a strengths-based approach, we help people and teams create more success in the workplace using talents they already have, yet statistically are unaware of. Building on these strengths, we develop people's essential workplace skills across mindset, wellbeing, work-life balance, leadership and more. The result is high-performing, engaged teams working to their strengths, more connected to themselves and their organisational goals and values.
Why Strengths?
-
People who know and use their strengths are three times more likely than others to have an excellent quality of life.
-
People who know and use their strengths are six times more likely to be engaged and productive at work.
-
Building a strengths-based workplace can help organisations increase customer engagement by up to 7%.
-
Building a strengths-based workplace can also help organisations increase employee engagement by up to 15%.
-
Organisations that invest in strengths-based development achieve up to 29% increase in profit.
-
Over 30 million people have taken the Strengths assessment. A strengths-based approach is essential for creating an exceptional workplace culture.
-
Strengths is rooted in Positive Psychology, so people get to find out what’s right with them, and then they can do and be more of what makes them great.
-
That’s why more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies use CliftonStrengths.
The challenge
The challenge is this: not everyone sees the potential of tapping into their strengths and flourishing, or perhaps they don’t know how. Perhaps they don’t know what makes them unique and a valuable member of the team. Perhaps they’ve had a bad experience or ‘always done things their way’ and resisted change. This can show up as toxic cultures, lack of self-responsibility and disruption to others. These people negatively impact not only their own performance but also the performance of those around them.
We are on a mission to change this–with programs that enable teams to become more self-aware, effective and successful. This is particularly impactful with teams who sometimes fall between the gaps when it comes to Professional Development, empowering them to live an engaged, balanced and motivated life where they do more of their best work.

So, why focus on Strengths? Our weaknesses can be managed, but they'll never become our greatest strengths. Building on our natural talents–and turning them into strengths–is where our best chance for success lives
