It’s all about my strengths, isn’t it or is it?

Posted on October 17, 2017October 1, 2019 by jowright15

“So how many strengths make me strong?’ One of my coachees posed this question last week as were working through her responses to a strengths based psychometric. As I reflected after the session, it got me thinking about the benefits but also the pressure we might put ourselves under to be more than we are, especially in a world where needing to be more, have more, get more is increasingly expected and important.

Case Studies

Journey of Discovery
“This global team have been working together for some years. They identified that whilst they were a good performing team they knew there could be more. Together, they embarked on a journey of discovery and developed a new sense of purpose. They knew each other but realised that they didn’t understand each other. The combination of this work, their refreshed sense of aligned purpose and a more deliberate focus on stakeholders has lead to new levels of performance. They are now working on their collective and individual leadership shadow and preparing to co-facilitate a similar programme for their second tier of leaders.”

New Business Opportunity
“My client consists of a small team who were facing a new business opportunity. They needed to identify stronger levels of cohesiveness in order to be able to maximise their new world. This was challenging to commit to given the pace and volume of work they were facing, in their highly competitive environment. Together, we planned a programme of interventions which they stuck to rigorously and are reaping the benefits of the investment commercially and personally.”

Case Studies

Self Confidence and Personal Power
“My client was at a challenging inflection point in her career and through our coaching work identified that she needed to pay more attention to her leadership impact and her well being. She developed a number of strategies that she kept core to her every day and discovered a self confidence and personal power that she had never really utilised.”

Leadership Impact
“My client is a senior executive who is working on specific aspects of his leadership. He is in a business experiencing significant levels of change. Through the coaching programme, he has been able to dial up his strengths and ensure that they provide the fuel for performance whilst managing some limiting self-beliefs. He has been able to bring new levels of energy and impact to his team who are in turn providing him and the business with stronger levels of engagement and performance.”

CASE STUDIES

Year 12 male (2019 )

“I participated in a number of coaching sessions with Jo leading up to and during my university applications. Her coaching enabled me to understand my strengths and weaknesses, which allowed for clarity throughout the interview and personal statement process. The sessions were challenging but rewarding as I was forced to look inward and think about myself for the first time. Our work has been very helpful and rather illuminating so far, and what I have learnt will most likely be very useful throughout my life. I highly recommend her.”

Year 13 Female (2019)

“Working with Jo helped me build up confidence in a comfortable environment and to really consider how to best show and use the qualities that I have. Her guidance in creating “My Story”, through feedback from the psychometric tests and strengths finder has allowed me to better express who I am. I really enjoyed the sessions with Jo and found the whole programme a really valuable experience. I have become much more aware of myself, and how I present myself in both professional and everyday situations, and have Jo to thank for all of her advice and coaching.”

Parents of 16 year old male (2018)

“We have been extremely pleased with how our son committed and engaged himself in the coaching for success programme with Jo. Without any prompting from us, he was always prepared and motivated for his sessions.
Jo has an easy-going albeit professional manner and it is clear that she is passionate in coaching young adults. Through their discussions and in taking the time to get to know our son, she brought out his positive strengths to enable him to brand himself. This has given him a huge amount of confidence in preparation for writing his personal statement and on building on it.
Our son has also remarked on how useful the sessions were and how pleased he was to be part of this opportunity.”
