You already have everything inside of you to be the best version of yourself. All of us do. We were all created on purpose, for a purpose.
It’s easy to forget that.
Gallup has done extensive research on the value of strengths development and coaching in the workplace. But we believe that this value extends to so much more than just your job. Focussing on your strengths has the potential to change the trajectory of your whole life – not just your career.
WHAT IS STRENGTHS-BASED DEVELOPMENT?
Think about it. If you are naturally gifted in a specific area or ability, odds are you’ll actually enjoy honing that strength even further. It drives your energy, making you feel capable and worthy. That’s why our growth in those areas is exponential. The result of putting our strengths into what we are doing is joy, energy and feeling alive.
On the other hand, focussing on what needs “fixing” is more likely to leave us dejected. We have to work against our very nature with mediocre results. It’s nearly impossible to achieve the same success in those areas as we would in areas in which we are gifted. What’s more, doing things that don’t align with our natural abilities will deplete our energy and enthusiasm.
Simply put, there are very few rewards when we focus on “fixing things” and minimising our weaknesses.
Every person is created with a unique set of talents and strengths – the perfect combination to achieve their purpose. That’s the beauty of strengths-based development. How we most naturally think, feel and behave represents our innate power and potential.
HOW DOES STRENGTHS-BASED DEVELOPMENT WORK?
Growing at work, at home and in your relationships starts with recognising your combination of strengths. The Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment does just that and enables you to maximise the potential that already exists inside of you.
Marco is a certified Gallup Global Strengths Coach. After completing your CliftonStrenghts assessment, Marco will guide you through your results. Together you’ll break down the findings to create a framework for your unique combination of talents and strengths to succeed.
Your natural competence will come to light. In other words, you’ll better understand why you think, feel and behave the way you do. Having access to this knowledge will grow your self-awareness at work, at home and everywhere in between.
SO, ABOUT THOSE WEAKNESSES?
Yes, of course, we won’t be able to stick our heads in the sand about each of our weaknesses. That’s not really possible in the real world because sometimes we’ll be required to do something, or even several things, in which we are not naturally gifted.
The difference will now be how you approach those tasks. Understanding that this is something that’s harder for you will give you the freedom to detach your value and worth from the successful outcome of said task. All you can do is be kind to yourself as you implement strategies to deal with your weaknesses, instead of resenting them.
Weaknesses should be managed, not fixed. Strengths should be recognised, nurtured and maximised.
When you utilise your most innate abilities you become more effective, productive, and successful in whatever you pursue. We can help guide you to discover your sweet spot!
