You’ve Taken the CliftonStrengths assessment. Now What?
Why Strengths.
You’ve taken the CliftonStrengths assessment, received your results, and now you’re probably wondering: What do I do with all this information and jargon? I hear you. But stick with this strengths journey, and it will pay off!
See, your strengths are more than just words on a page—your unique strengths & talents are a roadmap to how you naturally think, feel, and behave. The key is learning how to apply them with intention. This wisdom can change your life, just like it’s changed the lives of so many of my clients (and mine!).
Below, you’ll find simple, actionable steps to bring your strengths to life and use them to unlock more clarity, confidence, and momentum in your work and life.
“When we play to our strengths, work doesn’t feel like work—it feels like purpose.”
Step 1: Understand Your Strengths
Your top CliftonStrengths aren’t just talents—they are your superpowers. To get started:
Read Your Strengths Report: Take some time to read through your full CliftonStrengths report. Yes, actually read it! Pay close attention to the "Insight Statements" section—it’s personalized to you.
Mark Up Your Report: Put a highlighter to work! What words, phrases, or descriptions feel spot on? Which ones surprise you? What ones don’t resonate with you? I encourage you to go through your report —page by page — and make a note of what parts speak to you. I often have clients remark, “Wow, this part sounds EXACTLY like me! How does this assessment know me?”
Ask for Circle of Champions for Input: Share your top strengths with a trusted colleague, friend, or mentor and ask: How have you seen these strengths show up in me? What is your first impression of this report?
