What is your biggest fear or challenge as your company grows?

  • Losing your strong, caring company culture?

  • Transparency in your communication with the team?

  • Churn and drama among employees?

  • All of the above?

Implementing a Strengths-based culture changes everything. It offers the opportunity to truly value and engage the unique talents among your team. We begin by having everyone take the assessment so we know their approach to projects, problems, and people, a tool to ensure we’re speaking the same language and bringing our best as leaders.

Steps to Implement:

  1. Every member of the team takes the assessment and meets one-to-one with a Gallup-certified coach.

  2. Groups are gathered for the Introduction to StrengthsFinder workshop to discuss how each individual’s talents contribute to the dynamics and success of the team.

  3. Onboarding new employees includes taking the assessment, meeting one-to-one with a coach, and a session with their manager and the coach to ensure clear communication expectations and needs.

  4. Groups meet periodically to sustain the learning and language.

  5. Team members make their results visible, and meetings & agendas are intentionally planned around the talents of the people attending.

“Working with Sarah to implement StrengthsFinder as a resource for our team was a fantastic business decision. We are able to draw from a common language around the best of ourselves to do our work. It allows us to maximize (one of my strengths!) for productivity and a cohesive, positive work environment. We did both an in-person retreat as well as video coaching— both of which Sarah handled with a refreshing grace.”

Storytelling for Professionals

Every professional benefits when they can share a story to demonstrate their talents, skills, values, and character.

Elkins Consulting provides professional development workshops to ensure your employees know how to share their stories of success and obstacles, to be the best possible ambassadors for your organization and for their careers.

If you have to tell people you’re an expert, you’re probably not doing it right.
