Gallup, Inc. launched the CliftonStrengths® assessment in 1999 (history of CliftonStrengths®). Since then, this framework for investing in one's natural talents (based on Gallup's Science and Validity of CliftonStrengths) has helped over 31 million people understand their natural talents, maximize their potential, and utilize these for greater impact and fulfillment. It is a development tool that helps people understand the ways they make their greatest impact.

WORKING HARDER
People are often aware of their weaknesses and investing a lot of time and resources into improving in those areas. But no matter how hard we try to work on our weaknesses, the outcomes will not be as significant in comparison to when we put the same amount of effort in ways we uniquely excel. In other words, living into our full selves - as we were meant to live - will lead to greater results and satisfaction.
Think about Olympians. I will never be one, no matter how much effort and resources are invested. My athletic ability is limited and any growth would require exponential effort and result in a lot of disappointing failure. Would I even fully show up to practice when a dead end is always in sight? This is a simple way to understand why a Strengths-Based Approach creates greater impact, whether for an individual, team, or organization.
But what if you don't know your strengths or that of your team members? We are often that person who continues to feel frustrated and/or unproductive - either with ourselves, others, or the team we are managing.
WORKING SMARTER
What if we were to think differently and take an approach that would result in high performance, engagement, and well-being? What if working harder, living in a constant state of "fake it till you make it" mode, and managing imposter syndrome is no longer necessary? Thinking differently and working smarter is always possible.
Imagine if you knew and understood your strengths (not just the generic ones you see in job descriptions), and you and your team members were able to lean into each of your individual strengths. What would it look like if you and your team members could all thrive because you had greater self and team awareness, and everyone could collectively do what they naturally do well? What if professional growth is attainable and not something nebulous or only for those in the "inner circle"?
This is where OUR PILLARS comes alongside in your journey and creates a space where everyone is welcome, because...
"True belonging
never asks
us to change
who we are.
True belonging
requires us to
be who we are.”
