PEAK PERFORMANCE IS A CHOICE.
LEARN TO MAKE IT.
There are different ways in which we think, build relationships, influence others and execute tasks. Operating at your best in each of these domains not only brings our your greatest contribution to the service of others, but also alters fundamentally your experience of whatever was accomplished, as well as that of others.
​
Have you ever analyzed your all-around best moments; those moments of peak enjoyment and peak performance? If you do, properly guided, you'll find a common thread running through them. It turns out, in many cases it's not what you've done, but how you've done/lived/experienced it that made the difference between having an engaging and energizing success, and having an energy draining and can't-wait-for-this-to-be-over experience.
Strengths-based coaching is about enabling people
so that they can do work they way they do it best.
DISCOVER YOUR NATURAL TALENTS
Which leader will be most effective propelling an organization forward?
A highly strategic one able to quickly spot patterns and issues and identify alternative ways to proceed,
one with exceptional self-assurance, able to convey certainty in his or her decisions, or
one with an exceptional ability to work hard with friends towards a common goal?
In truth, there is no way to tell.
Anyone could take first place.
What's we do know is that to maximize their chances for being most effective, each one of them needs to operate from a place of authentic strength.
UNDERSTAND THE PROS AND CONS
OF YOUR
TOP TALENTS
Highly stretegic individuals can be perceived as closed-minded, those with abundant self-assurance may be thought as over-confident and stubborn, and those naturally inclined to work with friends towards a goal as cliquish and playing favorites.
​
Identifying your natural strengths is an important first step.
Understanding how to make those strengths work for you, rather than equally strongly against you is a very important second step.
​
Work with a strengths coach can help you capitalize on your edge and guard against being blindsided by it.
APPLY YOUR TALENTS DELIBERATELY
A range of possibilities opens up once you know of how to leverage your strengths to think, build relationships, influence others and execute most effectively.
​
Tackle challenges in ways you'll find naturally energizing, engaging and we dare say... exciting. Be more effective engaging and collaborating with others.
While certain tasks may be quite formulaic in their execution, there are many others in which there's a great latitude to define how outcomes will be accomplished.
​
The deliberate application of strengths to design and accomplish can be a game changer for you and your organization.
MANAGE YOUR WEAKNESSES
Focusing on strengths doesn't mean dismissing weaknesses.
​
Learn about your weaknesses and the potential impact they can have on your performance.
Understand the rationale for the focus on strengths, and how to use multiple strategies to effectively address your weaknesses, including the use of support systems and complementary partnerships.
