What are your strengths as a coach?

Many of us work with strengths-based assessments with our clients. What are your strengths? How are you leveraging these in your work? In your business?

If you have not yet done so, you may want to undertake theVIA Strengths Survey to discover your Signature Strengths, or purchase a copy of the StrengthsFinder 2.0 book from Tom Rath, to find out what your StrengthsFinder Strengths are. The online resources are great. Marcus Buckingham’s work, Go Put Your Strengths to Work, is another great resource to work with strengths.

As you consider your strengths ask yourself:

1.       How are you using your strengths on a regular basis?
2.       Which ones are not being used?
3.       Which ones are being overused, and may be creating a blind-spot?
4.       Which, if any, were you surprised to see?
5.       Which one would you like to place some focus around and use more in your work or life in the next month or quarter? What changes would this entail?

Finally, on the side of working with your clients, what would you like to do with strengths based work? How can you incorporate this into your next group or team coaching program?

Have a great week,

Jennifer
