The understanding and mindful implementation of our strengths has some of the most positive benefits to both our performance and overall wellbeing.
A study of over 19,000 employees across 34 organisations showed that correct identification and purposeful application of strengths enhances performance by up to 36.4%, in contrast, emphasising weaknesses led to a 26.8% decline in performance.

What is the Strengths Profile?
|
Strengths Profile is a world-leading strengths tool that changes the way we assess, develop and leverage talent in people. Strengths Profile is built from over a decade of theoretical and empirical research in positive psychology. Designed by Professor Alex Linley and his team at Cappfinity in the UK, Strengths Profile is used by leading organisations, including Schneider Electric, Salesforce, QBE, and GE Health.
|
Why choose the Strengths Profile?
The Strengths Profile tool is unique and distinct from traditional one-dimensional strengths tests, assessing 60 strengths across three dimensions of energy, performance, and use. The tool distributes the data across four quadrants:
- Realised Strengths are the things you find energising, perform well, and use often
- Learned Behaviours are the things you have learned to do well yet do not energise you
- Weaknesses are the things you find it hard to do well and find draining
- Unrealised Strengths are the things you find energising and perform well yet don’t use so often

HEAR FROM OTHERS
"I undertook the leadership strengths analysis because I have recently moved into a managerial position and I wanted to formulate a strong sense of my leadership capabilities, as well as areas for improvement. Uncovering that ‘rapport building’ is one of my top unrealised strengths was thought-provoking.
Susie’s understanding of leadership concepts coupled with insightful questions helped guide a debrief which led to the development of ways to utilise this unrealised strength in a practical sense. I’m so grateful for Susie's knowledge and compassion, these learnings will definitely help me grow as a leader.
Thanks, Susie!"

"I wanted to let you know that things are going great and I'm feeling so much happier. I think I finally have a work-life balance which is what I've been aiming for. I feel so much happier and more productive than ever juggling everything. Overall my life is just so much better! Since our last session, when things got a little bit crazy or stressful I was able to identify my strengths and that was able to help immensely.
I want to thank you so much for helping me get through the last couple of months. You've been so supportive through everything and our sessions helped so much. "
