Strengths Profiling and 121 Coaching Course - Launched!
21st February 2019
According to research only 1 in 3 people can articulate what their strengths actually are - do you know yours? Our latest course will tell you your top realised strengths and also the strengths that you are currently not using. We will then explore, in a one to one coaching session, how to maximise all your strengths to improve your overall performance, engagement and wellbeing.
What will I get with this course?
With this course you will receive your very own unique strengths report (see more on report below) and an opportunity to be coached on a one to one basis with one of our accredited coaches. They will review the report content with you, and support you to build a strengths based development plan. All our reports and coaching are completely confidential.
Why is it important to know your strengths?
Knowing and using your strengths helps you to be your best authentic self, by understanding what you can do and more importantly what you love to do. With the close connection to your energy levels, working within your strengths will raise levels of wellbeing, performance and satisfaction. It will also highlight learned strengths and area that drain your energy.
The report we use, the Strengths Profile, is much more than looking at 'what you are good at'. It takes into account your performance, your energy levels and how often you use these strengths. Our course will also explain more to you about what strengths are, the benefits and how to use them.
What happens next?
Our one to one coaching will start with your completing the Strengths Profile report, which will reveal your top realised and unrealised strengths. During our online coaching session, we will explore your report and support you to develop and apply your strengths.
This is a great tool for starting discussions about performance, motivation, ambition and for making the best use of the skills that exist in your team.
