  • Gallup research proves that people succeed when they focus on what they do best. When they identify their unique talents and develop them into strengths, people are more productive, perform better, and are more engaged. Gallup has been studying human behaviour for more than 75 years. The survey has been taken by over 20 Million people globally and is grounded in more than 40 years of research.
  • The Gallup CliftonStrengths (formally known as StrengthsFinder) can support individuals and teams to gain a clear understanding of their unique talents. The Gallup CliftonStrengths survey reflects the presence of talent in 34 general areas or themes. Decades of Gallup research has proven that when individuals have the opportunity to discover their natural talents and purposely develop them into strengths, the effect on individual and organizational performance is transformational and enables an organisations use strengths as an integral part of their human capital strategy.

Top 5 Clifton Strengths Discovery

Would you like to learn about your natural talents and how to develop them into your strengths? Intentionally using your strengths will help you be more productive and achieve your goals – in private and professional life.
Let’s explore your Top 5 Clifton strengths together and take you from good to great!

From manager to strength-based leader 

Would you like to use your unique strengths more intentionally and evolve your leadership skills? 

Managers account for at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores.
Knowing your strengths and blind spots will allow you to better tailor your leadership style. 

In 3 sessions (60-75min) we will explore your strengths together and how to efficiently apply them in your daily leadership tasks. 
You can choose between a half-day session or individual one-hour sessions.

You will:

  • get actionable insights into your own talents 
  • reflect how you can strengthen them to better lead your team and, thus, increase employee engagement
  • craft strategies to refine your approach in how you inspire, build relationships, communicate clearly, drive change, develop others and drive accountability.

Clifton Strengths Discovery Team Workshop

Overview:

Would you like your team to focus on what each member does well to achieve common goals?

Strength based Teams can drive up their productivity by 12.5%. (source: Gallup)
67% of employees who agree that their manager focuses on their strengths are engaged at work. 2% when they disagree. (source: Gallup)

Teams that know and leverage everyone’s strengths maintain high levels of engagement, productivity and wellbeing.
As leader these insights enable you not only to individualize your leadership approach but also to develop your employees’ individual talents into strengths.

Before attending this course, participants must complete the CliftonStrengths assessment to identify their talent profiles.

Participants will:

  • Get insights into their own natural talents from their CliftonStrengths Report 
  • Reflect how to develop them into strengths for greater personal productivity and engagement
  • See the team’s strength profile 

4-6 hours

Productive Teams Workshop 

Is your team a group of great individuals bringing something unique to the table? But they do not work efficiently as a whole?
Imagine everyone would focus on their strengths to achieve common goals.
In a workshop we will explore the team’s strength profile and jointly define how to leverage this power to deliver better outcomes.

When team members are aware of each other’s talents, they better understand how each one is naturally thinks, acts and feels. This awareness helps the team better navigate the challenges they encounter. They understand how they can work best together to deliver their common goals. The Team Strengths coaching enables leaders to tailor their approaches in developing and inspiring their teams to maximise their potential and deliver better results.

Outcomes – upon agreement:

  • Each individual will have a clear understanding of their talents and how to self-manage them into strengths
  • The team will have a common language to describe their talents, strengths, weaknesses and goals. They develop an appreciation for why they do what they do and what makes them unique.
  • Everyone and the group understand how to use their strengths for greater personal productivity and business results
  • Each member learns to recognise talents in others and their CONTRIBUTIONS.
  • Recognise that a perceived weakness may be an over-use of a talent and how to manage it if it holds back success.
  • The team develops an action plan how to be more effective as ONE TEAM.

My Story

Hi, I’m Susann,

A people and business enabler to make positive things happen and a positive thinker and doer.

A passionate leader with 20 years of experience in multifunctional team leadership and talent development. With a proven track record in Marketing, Sales and Digital, business turnaround, transformation processes and different ways of working like agile methods, remote management, full time, part-time, jobshare.

Gallup Certified Clifton Strength Coach and Certified Leadership Coach (ACC ICF)

A global citizen having lived in 8 countries.

Maximizer • Achiever • Includer • Positivity • Arranger • Activator • Woo • Communication  • Self-Assurance • Focus 

TURNAROUND, TRANSITION and CHANGE have been the common themes throughout my career and personal life. I took many TOUGH DECISIONS and started all over more than once.

I asked myself ‘WHAT do I want to do’ as much as ‘WHO do I want to be’.

I found value in coaching when I was at a cross-roads in my career, having moved to a new country with my partner and kids. I can empathize with the smaller and bigger challenges in life and want to EMPOWER you to reach your very own goals and make meaningful choices that are right for you. 

I will help you untangle, reflect, think deeply and explore what you really want.  I am your co-thinker and supporter to bring out your own answers.

STRENGTH-BASED COACHING is especially close to my heart. Throughout my career I saw many talents and myself THRIVE when playing to our STRENGTHS and teams being more EFFICIENT. I want to support more individuals and teams in this life-changing TRANSFORMATION.

My Top 5 Clifton Strength?
Maximizer – Achiever – Includer – Positivity – Arranger

Reflecting on them made me more intentional about applying my strengths, drove my awareness of my blind spots and made me think about all my teams and businesses if only we had known each other’s strengths.  

Are you curious which are your strengths and how to be more successful with them?
