Unlock Your Potential with Gallup Strengths Coaching
Empowering High School and College Students to Achieve Academic and Personal Success
About Gallup Strengths Coaching for Students
Gallup Strengths Coaching uses the CliftonStrengths assessment, also known as the StrengthsFinder to help students identify their unique talents and leverage them for academic and personal success. As Gallup-Certified Strengths coaches, we provide personalized coaching to help students understand their strengths, build confidence, and develop strategies for success in all areas of their lives.
StrengthsFinder is also a successful tool for teachers, administrators and staff and has been widely implemented in hundreds of school districts and educational institutions. Educators learn about their strengths and how they can leverage them to benefit their students, as well as to increase their own professional and personal satisfaction.
Benefits of Strengths Coaching
Enhanced Academic Performance
Students who understand and apply their strengths are more likely to see an improvement in their academic performance. Strengths-based coaching helps students leverage their natural talents in their studies, leading to improved grades and academic success.
Increased Engagement
Students who know their strengths are six times more likely to be engaged in their education. Engaged students are more enthusiastic about their studies and more likely to participate actively in class, fostering a deeper love for learning.
Personal Development
Greater Self-Awareness:
Understanding their top strengths helps students develop a deeper self-awareness, enabling them to recognize their unique talents and how to apply them effectively in various aspects of life.
Enhanced Confidence
Strengths-based coaching boosts students’ confidence by helping them focus on their inherent talents rather than their weaknesses. This increased self-assurance can positively impact their academic and social lives.
Career Preparation
Better Career Alignment
Students who know their strengths can make more informed decisions about their career paths. They can choose careers that align with their natural talents, leading to greater job satisfaction and success.
Improved Job Prospects
Employers value candidates who are self-aware and can articulate their strengths. Students who have undergone CliftonStrengths or StrengthsFinder coaching can better present themselves in job interviews, making them more attractive candidates.
Initial Consultation
The process begins with an in-depth consultation where we discuss the educational institution or individual student’s goals, and any specific challenges they are facing. This can be done via phone, video call, or in-person meeting
Custom Plan Development
Based on the initial consultation, we develop a custom Strengths-based program and/or coaching plan tailored to fit the institutions and/or student’s needs. This plan can include presentations, in-service training, personalized coaching sessions, and/or retreats. Practical strategies are emphasized to help students leverage their strengths and overall, benefit themselves as well as any educational institution they may be attending.
Implementation and Support
We work with the institution and/or student to implement the coaching plan, providing ongoing support and guidance throughout the academic journey. Whether it’s improving academic performance, preparing for a career, or enhancing personal development, we’re here to help.
