About CliftonStrengths
The CliftonStrengths assessment is a research-based tool developed by Gallup that identifies your top 5 talent themes from 34 possible strengths. It reveals how you naturally think, feel, and behave, helping you understand your unique talents and how to develop them into strengths.
Yes, I am a Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths Coach, having completed the rigorous certification process through Gallup. This ensures I have the expertise to properly interpret your results and guide you through meaningful strengths development.
Talents are your natural patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Strengths are talents that have been developed through knowledge, skills, and practice. Our coaching helps you transform your natural talents into productive strengths.
The initial assessment typically takes 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete. It consists of 177 paired statements where you choose which best describes you, with a 20-second time limit per question — designed to capture your instinctive, authentic responses. Go with your gut!
You'll receive a personalised CliftonStrengths report with your top 34 themes. We'll then walk through a debrief session together — exploring what these themes mean for you, how they show up in your life and work, and creating an action plan for your development.
