CLIFTONSTRENGTHS FOR TEAMS

CliftonStrengths® is a research-based assessment developed by Gallup, built on more than 50 years of global research with over two million successful individuals across 48 countries. Rooted in positive psychology, it focuses on what’s right with you, not what’s wrong. Unlike other profiling tools, CliftonStrengths provides a practical language to understand yourself and others. You’ll begin with your Top 5 Signature Themes, with the option to unlock all 34 themes for deeper insights.

CliftonStrengths is a powerful tool for both new teams and established groups wanting to lift their performance. The foundation of any great team is trust, connection, and understanding. When people begin speaking about what’s right with themselves and each other, it creates a momentum that lasts well beyond the workshop.

Our CliftonStrengths® Training process moves teams from self-awareness, to others-awareness, and ultimately to strengths-synergy, where differences are not only appreciated but leveraged to achieve more together.

Research confirms it: strengths-based teams are more engaged, productive, and resilient. There’s no simpler way to fast-track team health and performance.

The CliftonStrengths assessment takes about 40 minutes. Spacemakers® will provide you with a unique access code and link. You’ll respond to timed paired questions, and Gallup will then generate a personalised Signature Theme report to help you understand what you naturally do best.

Each workshop is tailored to the needs of your team. Beforehand, we meet with the team leader to clarify goals and understand the pressures you’re facing. A standard session runs for half a day and blends Gallup research with highly interactive activities, celebrating each person’s strengths, deepening connections, and applying what you learn to real team challenges. This isn’t dry theory, it’s engaging, practical CliftonStrengths® Training that leaves people inspired, energised, and ready to work differently.

Our most popular format is a half-day (around 4 hours). However, we tailor the length to suit your team size and needs. Smaller teams often need less time, while larger or more complex groups may require extended or bespoke facilitation.

Yes. While based in Tasmania, our accredited coaches regularly deliver CliftonStrengths® workshops in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and beyond. If you’re looking for a quality CliftonStrengths® Training experience, we’d love to connect.

Not all CliftonStrengths® training is created equal. All of our facilitators are nationally accredited through the Strengths Network South Pacific, with nearly a decade of experience refining our approach. We draw on adult-learning principles and practical tools to ensure immediate application. Our work spans diverse industries, from government and non-profits to global corporates and elite sporting teams. What makes us distinct is that every workshop is bespoke, shaped around your team’s context, your culture, and your goals.

Yes. Many clients start with a 90-minute “Strengths Discovery” session to introduce the value of a strengths-based culture and explore why focusing on what’s right works. Ideally, participants will have completed their CliftonStrengths assessment in advance, but we can adapt the format to suit your needs.

The CliftonStrengths assessment itself is always completed online. Coaching can be delivered in-person or virtually, but we recommend that team workshops take place face-to-face. Why? Because real connection happens best in the same room, sharing stories, sharing insights… and yes, sharing real coffee instead of virtual coffee.

We define a team as a group of people who work together regularly toward shared goals, and benefit directly from stronger collaboration and relationships. They know each other by name and are invested in each other’s success. Of course, we also work with cross-functional groups, such as leaders or managers from across an organisation, who don’t share daily operational goals. For these groups, we adapt the CliftonStrengths® training process to focus on leading from strengths and cultivating a broader strengths-based culture.

Yes. Our ultimate goal is not just to run workshops, but to help organisations embed CliftonStrengths® into their culture—creating lasting shifts in how people approach work and relationships.

Advanced CliftonStrengths® Training can include:

• Diving deeper into the CliftonStrengths Four Domains (Executing, Strategic Thinking, Influencing, Relationship Building)

• Using strengths-based goal setting to tackle challenging projects together

• Equipping managers to lead strengths-based conversations and integrate them into performance reviews

• Taking teams into creative environments—like Tasmania’s East Coast or the Blue Mountains (with the Authentic Leaders Group)—to explore strengths and leadership “out of the box”

In short, we help leaders and teams go beyond awareness to create a true culture of strengths.
