People who focus on using their strengths more are:
as likely to report having an excellent quality of life
as likely to be engaged in their jobs
Here's how StrengthsConnect helps:
Alysen is a generous and encouraging coach. She clearly has a talent for drawing out peoples’ strengths and is passionate about developing teams and unpacking the gifts that we all carry.
Strengthsfinder stands out amongst other development tools because it doesn’t pigeon hole – it leaves room for change and offers a more creative way of looking at personal and team growth. Furthermore, its foundational tenants are affirming and rooted in a celebration of diversity and positivity.
- Sam, Centre MANAGER
Alysen's friendly, clear communication coupled with her in-depth knowledge & passion for Strengthsfinders meant I was able to gain unique insight into how my strengths work together.
Powerful stuff! I would highly recommend her.
- Zara, aspiring coach & facilitator
The personalised analysis Alysen supplied helped me understand why some things are energising and some exhaust me.
The extra exercises Alysen gave me helped clarify my ideas as I approach early retirement. Since doing Strengthsfinder, I have seen how my different 'themes' can work for me or against me - I am learning to work with my strengths as much as possible in my teaching career.
- Andy, English teacher
Alysen was insightful and thoughtful in her evaluation of my strengths assessment. Her open and warm spirit made me feel comfortable and understood as she discussed a wide variety of ways for me to view my strengths as the way in which I can impact the world around me.
During the process of learning about my strengths I realized how and why I have often gravitated towards certain parts of my job and dreaded other parts. It gave me encouragement to continue to maximize my strengths in work and home settings while looking to others to bring their strengths to the table where I am lacking.
- Kristin, University lecturer, counselor
Taking the Strengthsfinder test taught me so much about myself. On it's own it is an incredible resource, but having Alysen coach me through my results on an individual level and then as a team was massively beneficial.
From a team perspective, it was massively beneficial to see how my strengths complemented my team mates strengths - we were able to see how we work well together and how we may clash, but also realising that clashing is okay!
