 Strengths-Based Development

Focus on what works - rather than what’s broken - and empower teams to use their talents to reach goals together.

Give your team a new language for improving performance.

Conflict, uncertainty, overwhelm, and burnout reign supreme when teams and individuals aren’t working in their strengths. Unfortunately, many frameworks fail to capture the complexity of what we do best or help us appreciate the natural talents of those around us. 

Strengths-based development ensures that executives, managers, and individual contributors can better advocate for themselves - creating clarity, aligning expectations, and fostering proactive cultures.

 
 

When teams play to their strengths, they can...

  • Boost moral & engagement

  • Better advocate for themselves

  • Operate with clarity & direction

  • Reduce turnover

  • Navigate rapid change effectively

  • Avoid burnout & shorten learning curves

Strengths Testimonials

“Strengths made me more self aware of how I communicate when giving direction, sharing feedback, setting expectations, and now I really pay attention to how it will fimpact the person that is receiving it.”

— Manager, Planning & Allocations —

“I learned how to use my strengths differently and to be a better communicator in my new role as a manager. Now my one-on-one touchbases are more productive, my team members are owning the conversations, and we are all feeling more confident.”

— Senior Manager, Creative Operations + Digital Producer —

“I always refer back to my strengths for a boost of confidence, to help me communicate what I can contribute to a task, and to help me ask for additional support from other people who have strengths that are different from mine.”

— Director, Business Development —

“My Strengths are like my ‘home’ button. It’s my foundation. As soon as I lose my way or I start to struggle, I get back to my Strengths to reorient myself.”

Meet Your Strengths Coach Carrie Skowronski

Individualization | Relator | Activator | Futuristic | Empathy

My unpopular opinion: Being well-rounded is overrated.

Somewhere along the way, many professionals learn to prioritize what are perceived as shortcomings, rather than their natural gifts. They squander talent and potential trying to be something they’re not.

I became a Strengths Coach because the power in knowing how to say “This is the value I bring to the work and here’s what I need to do it…” changes everything.

Your decisions, thinking, relationships, and work habits all take on a new spark when you work from your strengths - and when I’m your facilitator, you can expect to challenge your assumptions using a scientifically-validated process in the most fun, interactive, and high-energy environment possible.

 “Fixing” weaknesses prevents failure, but it doesn’t breed excellence.

Empower your team to communicate their value & create conditions for success with strengths-based development.
