What is StrengthsFinder training?
StrengthsFinder training classes help employees identify and better understand their top strengths and how to use them within their job role to maximize their individual and group performance.
Trainers and Coaches
Diversity Builder’s strengths trainers have provided coaching to teams and individuals since 1999. Our trainers have developed strengths team grid tools and handouts which highlight how differing combinations of team strengths work best together and how to pair team members to capitalize on complementary strengths. During workshop, trainers will share how to best harness the strengths within your teams and identify gaps for employee development. Diversity Builder’s trainers have diverse identities and backgrounds to bring unique perspectives to the classroom.

How do you become a certified coach at Gallup?
Diversity Builder trainers are certified from Gallup. Becoming a coach or trainer requires significant training from Gallup. Current requirements include attending an accelerated 4.5 day CliftonStrengths class entitled the Gallup Global Strengths Coach Program. The program is offered virtually at a price of $7700.
Having a trainer administer the assessment and evaluate the strengths report is essential for optimal team and individual results. Having an experienced coach onboard allows each team member to best understand what the results mean, how to maximize them in the workplace, and to answer questions.

Group Workshops
Diversity Builder trainers customize all StrengthsFinder workshops to best fit your group.

This is often a collaborative process where the trainer reviews the assessment and collaborates on the ideas the group has for focus. Employees will learn how to capitalize on strengths to improve engagement spotify promotion and heighten innovation. Our 4-hour workshop program allow more time to discuss strengths, exchange ideas, and often includes the top ten of each employee. The trainer will share how to identify blind spots of the top strengths and how to avoid them. The team will learn to navigate being overly reliant on key strengths and how to build talent into strengths.
