Why use 'Strengthsfinder' for individual and group coaching?
Strengthsfinder helps you realise what you’re naturally best at and what sets you apart from others by measuring 34 different “themes” within you. What’s a theme? It’s a cluster of your innate reoccurring patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour. It gives you a lens to see both your own strengths and the strengths of others. Your Strengthsfinder report shows your unique Strengths profile. There is a 1 in 33million chance that you have the same profile as someone else. Your profile is your unique Strengthsfinder DNA.
For example, here is my own unique Strengthsfinder DNA.
