For the most part, the world seems to be fixated on what’s wrong with people; that is, people’s weaknesses and how to fix them.
Where the traditional approach to personal and professional development is to identify an individual’s strengths and weaknesses and fix the weaknesses, Gallup has revolutionised the way we view and approach an individual’s strengths, weaknesses and development.
Based on exhaustive research conducted by Gallup for over 80 years involving millions of in-depth interviews, it has been proven that individuals succeed when they leverage their unique and natural gifts – their talents and strengths.
This new science, called “strengths psychology”, has provided strong evidence that focusing on what is right with people leads to positive outcomes for individuals and organisations. This includes enhanced individual well-being, workplace outcomes and employee performance and engagement.
The Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment completes an analysis of an individual’s instinctive reactions, identifying how they most naturally think, feel and behave as a unique individual. It measures the presence of an individual’s talents and their unique contribution.
Uncovering, unpacking and investing in these talents is when individuals are able to create opportunities for excellence and success.
Gallup CliftonStrengths is used and relied upon by 90% of fortune 500 companies. Over 27 million individuals have taken the CliftonStrengths assessment in 160 countries and in 30 different languages.
It is for these compelling reasons that I incorporate Gallup CliftonStrengths to enhance the strengths coaching experience for my clients.
