Benefits
When a person is working within their strengths, to a plan they are motivated to follow, they experience professional and personal growth which provides immense satisfaction and emotional pleasure.
They feel more confident that they are being true to themselves and this has huge impacts on the individual which translates across all areas of their life and the people around them.
Below are many of the impacts I have observed, had feedback from clients on and have been scientifically proven to come out of a strengths focused, performance-based coaching process.

For the Business
Strengths based approaches to development make organisations better and strengths make people better. It reassures people that they can be themselves at work AND get the job done in a more energising, motivating and authentic way.
Strengths based organisations are the future and they are already delivering results like these:
-
increase in profit
-
increase in productivity
-
improvement in engagement
-
increase in sales
-
reduction in absenteeism
Recent research findings (Rigoni and Asplund 2016) based on data from 1.2 million employees in 22 organisations and 45 countries, showed that 90% of organisations using a strengths approach reported:
-
10% to 19% increased sales
-
14% to 29% increased profit
-
3% to 7% higher customer engagement
-
6% to 16% lower turnover (low-turnover organisations)
-
26% to 72% lower turnover (high-turnover organisations)
-
9% to 15% increase in engaged employees
