Clifton Strengths® Coaching and Team Workshops
Achieve clearer communication, stronger collaboration and better performance
CliftonStrengths (formerly StrengthsFinder) helps teams uncover their natural talents and understand how they work best. We design practical workshops that enable teams to use their strengths with confidence and improve the way they work together. The team leaves with a clear view of what each person brings, where they can excel and how to support each other day to day.
Our focus is simple.
Give teams the insight and language they need to communicate well, handle challenges constructively and deliver results with more confidence.

How a CliftonStrengths team workshop works
Every session is designed around what you want to achieve and your team’s strengths profile.
Workshops usually include:
Exploring each person’s strengths and how they show up in daily work
Analysing the team’s overall strengths profile
Identifying gaps, blind spots and untapped strengths.
Mapping strengths to real projects and goals
Practising strengths-based conversations
Discussing how you work together, not just what you work on
Agreeing a practical action plan your team can use right away
Workshops can run in person or online.
The 34 CliftonStrengths themes and four domains

Organisational Impact of CliftonStrengths
Evidence-based results
CliftonStrengths supports a more engaged and productive workforce. Gallup data shows that strengths-focused development leads to:
-
Organisations benefit from an increase in employee engagement of up to 23% - this leads to better employee retention & loyalty and lower absenteeism.
-
Employees perform better following StrengthsFinder training - feeling more capable and confident in their roles. The team performance rises as a result.
-
Organisations benefit from a significant reduction in employee churn. Employees feel like they have more control over their working lives and this positively impacts all aspects of their performance.
-
Employees report being more engaged at work as they feel they are working to their skill level and on projects that fit their natural abilities.
-
Employees productivity increases after using StrengthsFinder as they are more comfortable with their place within their team and the wider organisation
-
Employees gravitate towards projects suited to their natural strengths and this makes them more productive and engaged in the work they are involved in.
-
Employees feel less stressed by work as their projects are more focussed towards harnessing their skills and in areas they have a natural ability in and affinity for.
A shared understanding of strengths helps leaders set clearer expectations, build trust and support teams more effectively.
Optional one-to-one coaching
Deeper insight for individuals
Some teams add individual coaching to deepen the insight from the workshop. Coaching helps team members:
Understand how their strengths work together
Build confidence in their role
Recognise what energises or drains them
Manage potential overuse of strengths
Apply strengths in more intentional ways
Coaching can take place before or after your team workshop.
