The StrengthsFinder assessment was designed to help individuals identify, understand, and maximize their strengths. The belief is that all people have a unique combination of talents, knowledge, and skills that they use in their daily lives to do their work, achieve their goals, and interact with others.
Over the last few years, Gallup's assessment tool has grown in popularity and because of this, the Gallup Strengths coaching certification was developed.
"A coach is a person who invests in and interacts with an individual, partnership, or team for the primary purpose of stimulating, motivating, and facilitating the growth, development and performance of that individual, partnership or team." - Gallup
Gallup has found that when people understand and apply their strengths, they experience a transformational effect to their lives and work. They do this by having listened to over 7 billion people - employers, clients, students, citizens. Gallup knows its stuff.
So how are strengths developed?
We all have talent, and Gallup says strength are developed when these are invested in.
Gallup defines these parts as:
- Talent - A natural way of thinking, feeling or behaving
- Investment - time spent practising, developing your skills and building your knowledge base
- Strength - the ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance
Talent x Investment = Strength
