You probably know your strengths. You might have even taken the CliftonStrengths assessment. But are you actually leading from them, or are you exhausting yourself with approaches that don't fit?
Everyone talks about agility like it's just about moving fast and pivoting quickly. But real agility—the kind that's sustainable, that doesn't burn people out—requires understanding how you actually operate so you can make conscious choices about when your patterns serve you and when they hold you back.
Most leaders have filed away their strengths results without knowing what to actually do with that information. Worse, they're unaware that their greatest strengths—when overused, misapplied, or operating in the wrong context—are creating the very problems they're struggling to solve. The feedback you keep getting about being too direct or too detail-oriented or too strategic? That's probably your dominant strength showing up in its shadow form.
This 90-minute intensive goes beyond the assessment to examine how your specific strengths combination operates in your real leadership context. We'll identify where you're exhausting yourself trying to operate in ways that don't fit, where your strengths are creating unintended friction or being misinterpreted, and how to restructure your approach around how you actually function most effectively.
You will leave with:
● Deep understanding of how your unique strengths combination operates (beyond theme descriptions)
● Clarity on where you are draining energy by trying to operate in ways that don't fit
● Recognition of which weaknesses to develop versus which to work around or delegate
● Identification of where your greatest strengths are creating blind spots or relationship friction
● A concrete plan for restructuring your leadership approach around your advantages
● Strategies for managing the shadow sides of your dominant themes
This intensive is for you if:
● You feel like you are working too hard for the results you are getting
● You have been told you need to develop skills that feel fundamentally unnatural
● You are aware your style creates friction but do not know how to lead differently without being inauthentic
● You want to build a team or structure that complements rather than duplicates your strengths
● You are in a new role and want to design your approach around your effectiveness
● You keep getting feedback about behavior that feels like just who you are
● Your identity means your strengths get misinterpreted or penalized in ways that would not happen to others
