OWN YOUR STRENGTHS
Coaching Programme
You’ve built experience. You know you’re capable.
You know what you’ve done, what you’ve learned and what you’ve achieved.
But it can still be surprisingly difficult to explain what makes you particularly good at what you do.
What comes naturally to you. Where you create the most value. Why some work brings out your best while other work takes far more from you.
You don’t need to become good at everything.
Without that understanding, it’s easy to compare yourself with people who work differently.
To take opportunities because they look right on paper.
To adapt to roles that ask too much of what doesn’t come naturally.
Or to overlook the things you do exceptionally well because they feel normal to you.
Most people describe themselves by what they’ve done.
Job titles. Responsibilities. Qualifications. Experience.
Program OWN YOUR STRENGTHS starts somewhere else.
We look at how you naturally think, make decisions, work with people and get things done.
Because what you’ve done tells us part of the story.
How you do your best work tells us much more.
“The more clearly you understand how you work at your best, the easier it becomes to recognise where you belong.”
YOUR STRENGTHS
IN REAL LIFE.
Every Own Your Strengths programme begins with the CliftonStrengths® 34 assessment.
It gives us a structured starting point for understanding the patterns behind how you naturally think, feel and act.
But the assessment is only the beginning.
In our sessions, we connect your results to your actual career, so you understand what those patterns mean in the way you work, communicate, make decisions and create value.
We’ll work through six areas:
01 · YOUR PROFILE
What your CliftonStrengths® results actually say about the way you operate.
02 · HOW YOU THINK
How you take in information, solve problems and make decisions.
03 · HOW YOU WORK
What helps you perform at your best and what can get in your way.
04 · HOW YOU WORK WITH OTHERS
How you naturally communicate, influence and build relationships.
05 · WHERE YOU CREATE VALUE
What you consistently bring when you’re working at your best.
06 · HOW TO USE IT
How to use your strengths more intentionally in your work and career decisions.
WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE WITH?
Not just a strengths report.
Something far more useful: a clear understanding of how you work at your best, what you bring and how to use it.
Your Strengths Profile
A clear understanding of your strongest natural patterns and how they work together.
Your Value
Clear language for explaining what you bring beyond your job title and experience.
Your Best Fit
A better understanding of the work, responsibilities and environments that bring out your best.
Your Watch Outs
Where your strengths can become less useful when overused or used in the wrong situation.
Your Career Lens
A practical way to look at roles and opportunities through what you now know about yourself.
Your Strengths Plan
Clear ways to use your strengths more intentionally in your work.
You won’t leave simply knowing the names of your strengths.
You’ll leave understanding what they look like in you.
How they show up in your work. Where they help you. Where they can get in your way. And what they mean for the choices you make.
Because knowing your strengths is useful. Knowing how to use them is what changes things.

There was a time you didn’t question who you are.
Before the expectations. Before the roles.
WHY CLIFTONSTRENGTHS®
Why this assessment?
There are plenty of personality tests and career assessments out there.
I wanted something different.
Something that would give us a clear starting point for understanding how you naturally think, work and get things done, without putting you into a personality type.
That’s why I chose CliftonStrengths®.
It looks at 34 different talent themes.
Your results show how those themes rank for you, from the patterns that come most naturally to those that are less dominant.
And it’s the combination that matters.
Two people can be equally successful in the same role and get there in completely different ways.
CliftonStrengths helps us understand yours.
BUILT ON DECADES OF RESEARCH
CliftonStrengths® grew from psychologist Donald O. Clifton’s research into human talents and strengths.
Today, the assessment is used around the world by individuals, teams, leaders and organisations like organisations like Google, Microsoft and Amazon
to support leadership, performance and development.
You’re not put into a box.
CliftonStrengths® doesn’t give you a personality type or tell you which career you should have.
It identifies recurring patterns in how you naturally think, feel and act.
That gives us something much more useful to work with.
Not:
“What type of person am I?”
But:
“How do I naturally operate at my best?”

The assessment is completed online and takes around 30 to 40 minutes.
You’ll see 177 pairs of statements. For each pair, choose the response that best reflects you. You have 20 seconds to answer each question, so it’s best to respond naturally rather than spend too much time thinking about the answer.
There are no right or wrong answers. Choose what feels most like you, rather than what you think you should choose or what might be expected of you at work.
Try to complete the assessment in one sitting, somewhere quiet where you won’t be interrupted.
Once you finish, you’ll receive your CliftonStrengths® results and personalised report. We’ll use these as the starting point for our work together.
-
No preparation is needed.
Just choose a time when you can complete the assessment without interruptions. Find a quiet place, make sure you have a stable internet connection and allow around 30 to 40 minutes.
There are no right or wrong answers, so simply respond in the way that feels most natural to you.
One thing to keep in mind: once you move to the next question, you cannot go back to change your answer.
You also have a limited amount of time to respond to each question, so try not to overthink it. Go with the answer that feels most natural to you first.
-
No, you usually don’t need to take the assessment again.
If you already have your full CliftonStrengths® 34 results, we can use your existing report as the starting point for the programme.
If you previously completed only the Top 5 version, you can upgrade your existing results to see all 34 talent themes without taking the assessment again.
Upgrade to CliftonStrengths® 34
The upgrade currently costs around £42.
-
Once you complete the assessment, you’ll receive your personalised CliftonStrengths® report with all 34 talent themes ranked in order.
Please send me your full report at least 48 hours before our first session. This gives me time to review your results and prepare for our work together.
You don’t need to analyse or fully understand the report beforehand. We’ll go through it together and connect your results to your own experience, work and career.
-
After the programme, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what you naturally do well, how your strengths show up in your work and where you are at your best.
You’ll be able to put into words what you bring, rather than relying only on your job title, experience or skills.
You’ll also start to recognise which roles, responsibilities and working environments suit you better, and why some types of work take more from you than others.
This makes it easier to make decisions about what comes next. Instead of choosing a direction simply because it looks like a good opportunity, you’ll be able to consider whether it actually fits the way you work, what motivates you and where you are most likely to do well.
You’ll have a clearer idea of where to invest your time and energy, what to look for in future opportunities and what may not be right for you.
That can also help you avoid spending too long in roles that constantly require you to work against your natural strengths and leave you feeling drained.
You won’t leave with someone else’s idea of what success should look like. You’ll have a clearer understanding of what is more likely to work for you and use that to decide your next steps.
Take a minute to think
What is the cost to you of not making a change now?
You might not notice it right away, but the cost adds up.
Ask yourself:How much longer can I keep feeling uncertain, tired, or stuck?
Will you feel more ready next month?
What is the emotional cost of doubting myself every day?
What opportunities will pass me by if I keep putting this off?
How will I feel in 6 months if nothing changes?
Now imagine where you could be in 4 weeks, 7 weeks, 10 weeks…
You stop overthinking every next step.
Decisions become more natural.
You know what you’re working towards
You trust the direction you’re taking.
