Why I Love the CliftonStrengths Top 5 Assessment and Ask All My Clients to Take It
When I start working with new clients, one of the first things I ask them to do is take the CliftonStrengths Top 5 assessment. It’s not just a tool to help me understand their unique traits—it’s a cornerstone of how I coach. The insights we gain from CliftonStrengths set the foundation for a deeply personalized coaching relationship, allowing me to tailor my approach and unlock their full potential.
Let me share why I love this assessment, how it shapes my coaching, and what my own Top 5 strengths reveal about what you can expect when working with me.
My CliftonStrengths Top 5 and What They Say About My Coaching
Here are my Top 5 CliftonStrengths—Futuristic, Relator, Arranger, Maximizer, and Activator—and how they define my approach:
Futuristic: Visionary Thinking I am always looking ahead, envisioning what could be. When I work with clients, I help them dream bigger and see possibilities they may not have considered. Together, we create a compelling vision for their business and map out the steps to make it a reality.
Relator: Building Deep Connections Relationships matter to me—deep, meaningful ones where trust and understanding flourish. As your coach, I prioritize creating a safe, supportive space where we can dive into the heart of your challenges and goals. You can count on me to truly listen and care about your journey.
Arranger: Orchestrating Success I thrive in managing complexity and finding order in chaos. Whether it’s refining a business model, streamlining operations, or planning a strategic launch, I’ll help you organize the moving parts and ensure everything works in harmony.
Maximizer: Striving for Excellence I’m not content with “good enough.” I see potential everywhere and love turning good ideas into extraordinary outcomes. If we’re working together, you can expect me to challenge you to aim higher and refine your strategies until they truly shine.
Activator: Getting Things Moving Ideas are powerful, but they mean nothing without action. I’ll help you overcome analysis paralysis and take bold, decisive steps toward your goals. With me, there’s no sitting on the sidelines—momentum is the name of the game.
How I Use CliftonStrengths to Be a Better Coach
The CliftonStrengths assessment isn’t just about me; it’s a tool I use to unlock your potential. Here’s how I integrate your strengths into our coaching:
Personalized Strategies Understanding your unique strengths helps us craft strategies that align with your natural abilities. Instead of forcing you into a one-size-fits-all approach, we’ll leverage what makes you extraordinary.
Enhanced Communication Knowing your strengths allows me to tailor how I communicate and coach. Whether you thrive on big-picture brainstorming or prefer detailed plans, I meet you where you are.
Team Dynamics If you have a team, we can use the assessment to understand how everyone’s strengths interact. This creates a stronger, more cohesive team dynamic and allows us to identify opportunities for collaboration and growth.
Empowering Self-Awareness Many of my clients have “aha!” moments when they see their strengths on paper. It’s a powerful way to build confidence and recognize the unique value you bring to your business and clients.
Strengths-Based Growth Instead of focusing on “fixing” weaknesses, we’ll double down on your strengths. This approach not only feels more authentic but also leads to faster, more sustainable growth.
Why This Matters for You
The CliftonStrengths assessment is about more than understanding personality traits—it’s about creating a coaching experience that’s as unique as you are. My commitment to understanding your strengths ensures that our work together is not only impactful but also deeply aligned with who you are and what you value.
