Our Gallup-certified coaches have participated in both Gallup’s “Successful Strengths Coaching” and “Coaching Individuals, Managers, and Teams” courses. Through these courses, our coaches learned how to conduct introductory and advanced coaching conversations with you to help you maximize your effectiveness using your natural talents. They can help you as an individual integrate your Strengths into your daily life, and they can also help teams maximize their productivity by helping team members utilize their unique talents for the betterment of the team.
