What is the Strengths Programme and how can it benefit my business?
The Strengths Programme is a strengths-based development initiative designed for individuals, managers, salespeople, and teams.
It uses assessments like CliftonStrengths and coaching to help participants understand and leverage their natural talents. By tailoring roles to strengths, it helps reduce misalignment, burnout, disengagement, and turnover—all driving stronger collaboration, engagement, and business outcomes.
Who should participate in the Strengths Programme?
The Programme includes four tailored tracks:
- For Individuals – Discover your natural talents, gain confidence, and increase your performance.
- For Managers & Leaders – Enhance leadership by aligning team roles with strengths to boost engagement and productivity.
- For Salespeople – With the CliftonStrengths for Sales report, use natural strengths to deepen trust, close more deals, and improve performance (by up to 19%).
- For Teams – Build stronger collaboration and communication through group assessments, coaching, and workshops.
How does the Strengths-Based Team Development component work?
This track includes a structured, multi-step process:
- Each team member completes the CliftonStrengths assessment.
- One‑on‑one coaching sessions are held with the manager and each team member.
- Group workshops apply strengths to real business challenges.
- Ongoing coaching helps sustain results.
This collaborative approach enhances communication, trust, goal alignment, and overall team performance.
What results can businesses expect from participating?
By focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses, businesses can expect:
- Reduction in misaligned teams, high turnover, missed sales targets, burnout, and disengagement.
- Stronger team collaboration, improved communication, and a positive, high-performance culture.
- Sales improvements (by up to 19%) and happier, more engaged employees.
