Clifton-Strengths Leadership Program

Learn how to lead using Clifton-Strengths

Adopting a Strengths focus gives leaders a framework for understanding themselves and how they might work more constructively with their teams. It also gives leaders a safe language for coaching, giving feedback and conveying expectations to their team members.

The leadership course was very empowering and uplifting. It was so nice to be encouraged to stop looking at improving my weaknesses and focusing on improving my strengths, it has really changed my mindset and allowed me to grow as a person and within my role. I am so thankful of the timing of this course due to a new role and many many challenges faced within the role. I couldn't have been as success as I have without my amazing coaches on the way and the new techniques I learnt along the way. Thanks Thinka!

    Q
    Our in-person delivery option maximises opportunities for robust conversation, experiential activities and intensive group work. This is no ‘death by PowerPoint’ experience – our facilitators are skilled in presenting and leading immersive experiences that get the most out of people. Supported by multimedia, attractive takeaway pages and practical strategies for using back on the job – this in-person approach is valuable for building strong bonds and bringing people together to collaborate.
    Q
    Our virtual delivery option breathes fresh life into the online experience with its almost ‘radio show’ feel. Our expert facilitators use a combination of multimedia, questioning techniques and break out activities to target micro-skills – with a focus on application. Supported by an online platform hosting custom-built materials, participants can be assured of lively, dynamic sessions that have a distinct bias to action. Going virtual keeps program sessions succinct, sharp and focused on targeting particular skills in a dynamic way.
    Q
    A hybrid model takes the best of in-person and virtual delivery options and blends them together, so there’s a healthy mix of face to face collaboration and targeted skill building. Depending on the program themes, we work with you to decide what is better suited to getting together in a training space versus what would sit comfortably in an online setting. This flexible combination allows you and your team to get the best of both worlds.
