How Is Strengths-Based Coaching Different?

Strengths-based coaching helps individuals and teams use their CliftonStrengths to influence their behaviours, activities and relationships to optimize their performance.

Strengths-based coaching:

· Facilitates self-decided actions to promote discovery and insight

·Focuses on individual’s positive potential and natural talents

· Helps clients aim their talents squarely at their most important goals and desired outcomes

· Helps people move forward positively in their lives

What does this mean in simple terms? Strengths-based coaching can help individuals and teams to gain focus and purpose in their jobs, using their strengths and those of their colleagues, to identify and achieve their collective goals and objectives.

Having awareness and an appreciation of your strengths leads to opportunities for achievement.

Highly productive teams:

· Share a mission or purpose

· Understand and appreciate one another’s strengths

· Intentionally use their own and one another’s strengths

· Have partnerships that encourage each team member to develop their strengths
