Beyond Gallup: 3 Research-Backed Tools That Shape My Coaching
It's tough when you're in the middle of everything, yet feel on your own and overstretched
In a demanding working environment, you know that you can deliver results. But, when you're also leading a team, you feel stretched thin and, at times, overwhelmed.
It’s tempting to prioritise your team’s success over your own wellbeing. Yet, when you neglect yourself, your energy and confidence diminish.
But what if you could achieve what you need to without burning out? How would things change if you could empower yourself and your team by using your Strengths?

I'm a CliftonStrengths coach who's here to help teams, managers and leaders unlock their superpowers by tapping into their Strengths.
When I work with leaders and managers we uncover your unique strengths to feel re-energised. With fresh insights about yourself, you start seeing the same in your team. You’re no longer carrying the load alone -as you're able to bring out the best in your team.
When I work with teams each member uncovers their unique strengths. With this knowledge, the team feels empowered to tackle challenges, make shared decisions and help each other do what they do best.

Frequently asked questions
-
Why choose CliftonStrengths over other personality assessments?CliftonStrengths is backed by research from interviews with two million people worldwide, making it highly reliable. As a coach, I prefer CliftonStrengths because it recognises human uniqueness, rather than putting you in a box. At it's essence, CliftonStrengths helps you understand your own natural wiring, so you can work to be your best self.
-
Isn’t feedback from others more valuable than a self-assessment like CliftonStrengths?Perhaps surprisingly, research suggests that feedback from others can be even less accurate than our own self-assessment Because the CliftonStrength assessment focuses on what energises you, you’re the best source for identifying your potential.
-
When I take personality assessments, I always think, 'But I change depending on the situation.' Doesn't this affect my results?Yes, it definitely matters that you’re different in various situations. One of the superpowers of the CliftonStrengths assessment is that it recognises your complexity! Your results will reflect different parts of who you are, and we explore these in our coaching sessions. The goal is to help you bring your best self to all areas of your life. Completing the CliftonStrengths assessment, along with our coaching conversations, can help you understand how to show up at your best both at work and at home.
-
Some of my 'strengths' feel like my biggest challenges or weaknesses. Sometimes, they’re the traits I or others don’t like about me. What does that mean?Yes, this is super common. Our strengths and challenges are often closely connected. That’s why focusing on our strengths, or how our brain is wired, leads to the greatest personal growth! Gallup defines weakness as anything that gets in the way of your success. We can overcome our weaknesses by learning to use our strengths effectively. In other words: we build on what we’re naturally good at to tackle the challenges we face.
-
Is CliftonStrengths the same thing as StrengthsFinder?Yes! CliftonStrengths and StrengthsFinder are two names used for the same assessment. CliftonStrengths is the more current name.
