Everyone has a specific set of natural talents and abilities. When we intentionally apply our talents, they can become our greatest source of fulfillment — we become more confident, happy, energetic, and likely to achieve our goals.
Because our talents come so naturally to us, and because we often take them for granted, many times we are not fully aware of our strengths and what we can contribute.
You are stronger than you know. Discover and maximize your most powerful natural talents with CliftonStrengths. Complete the CliftonStrengths talent assessment and unlock personalized results and resources for you to fully understand your talents and maximize your potential.
But the CliftonStrengths assessment is just the start. The real improvement happens when coaches help people develop — not just discover — their talents.
STRENGTHS-BASED COACHING HELPS YOU:
- Understand your talents.
- Use your talents to produce results and reach your goals.
- Use your talents to overcome obstacles, weakness, and vulnerabilities.
- Use your talents to transform relationships.
- Understand your unique strengths in the context of others.
A strengths approach is unique and powerful. Gallup’s research shows that the key to success is to fully understand how to apply your greatest talents and strengths in your everyday life. When you discover your greatest talents, you’ll discover your greatest opportunities for excellence, success, and contribution.
IMAGINE THESE POSSIBILITIES FOR YOURSELF:
- Have higher levels of energy and vitality.
Decades of research have shown that when people are ready to use their strengths, they have higher levels of psychological vitality. When people use their strengths, they experience positive energy and buzz. The more hours per day adults believe they use their strengths, the more likely they are to report having ample energy, feeling rested, being happy, smiling or laughing a lot, and being treated with respect.
- Are more likely to achieve their goals.
People who intentionally use their strengths to accomplish their goals are far more likely to achieve them. When they achieve their goals, they satisfy their psychological needs and are happier and more fulfilled as a result.
- Are more confident
Recent research found that people who use their strengths report higher levels of self-efficacy and believe they are capable of achieving the things they want to achieve.
- Perform better at work.
When managers emphasize strengths, performance is significantly higher; conversely, when managers emphasize weaknesses, performance declines.
- Experience less stress.
People who use their strengths are less likely to report experiencing worry, stress, anger, or sadness.
- Are more engaged at work.
The opportunity to do what you do best each day – that is, use your strengths – is a core predicator of workplace engagement.
- Are more effective at developing themselves and growing as an individual.
When focussing on self-development, people improve faster in areas where they are already strong, compared with areas where they are weak. The more hours per day adults believe they use their strengths, the more likely they are to report having learned something interesting.
A person’s greatest talents – the ways in which he or she most naturally thinks, feels, and behaves – represents the person’s innate power and potential.
