Each of us is unique and has some inherent talents. Some qualities and abilities are innate. CliftonStrengths® assessment help identifies these natural talents of yours. This research-based talent assessment helps bring to the forefront your natural patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, and in short, your way of being.
These innate talents represent four themes relationship building, thinking strategically, executing plans, and influencing others. Each person leads with one of these talent themes and has a unique talent mix. Hence, we approach any outcome differently from others.
The conscious investment of time, knowledge, and skill into your talents can help transcribe these into your Strengths. The purposeful use of CliftonStrengths® in your career goals brings much-needed self-awareness that reduces anxiety and improves risk-taking abilities.
It’s important to understand that CliftonStrengths® does not dictate your career path. What it does instead helps navigate a better alignment between your natural talents and your role. It doesn’t matter the career path you have chosen for yourself; what this test does is help you be your best self while you work in the selected role.
As you focus on your Strengths while working on any career of your choice, it becomes easy, enjoyable, and excellent.
At its core, strengths-based development works on three assumptions:
1. Only some behaviors can be learned. Many behaviors that lead to excellence are nearly impossible to acquire. Hence, natural talent matters.
2. The best in a role deliver the same outcomes using different behaviors. The result, not the way you achieve it, defines greatness.
3. Weakness fixing prevents failure; strengths building leads to success.
Finding your CliftonStrengths® is just the beginning of a journey in which you can progress with a coach who facilitates better understanding and devising strengths-based career goals.
If you are currently in a role that you do not think is right for you, the clarity you gain from CliftonStrengths® may help you find your calling based on what you naturally do best and can do day in and day out without tiring yourself of it.
