Strengths
Coaching

Strengths-based coaching that helps your employees, leaders and teams make better choices about their performance, growth and career.

Turn Strengths Insight Into Better Performance, Growth & Career Decisions

A next-generation strengths assessment gives your employees and leaders valuable data. Strengths coaching is what turns that data into self-awareness, positive impact and lasting success. Without a dedicated one-to-one conversation to debrief the results, key insights get overlooked. Assessments end up read once and forgotten.

Our strengths-based coaching packages give your people focused time with an expert strengths coach. Together they clarify strengths, career motivations, values and blind spots, including the performance limiters and overused strengths that hold people back. That insight then becomes a clear, measurable development plan.

How Strengths Coaching Works: 4 Simple Steps

Every engagement follows the same approach, from a single DISCOVER session to a full ADVANCE programme.

02

AGREE

Strengths coaching step 3: coaching sessions

Questions

Strengths Coaching FAQs

Our founder James Brook defines it as “building a positive, trusting relationship that helps individuals and teams achieve lasting success by leveraging strengths and positive capacities, removing blockers, and enabling better choices and growth.” In practice it starts from a validated picture of what someone already does well, using a TalentPredix™ Standard or 360° Profile. That insight, rather than a focus on fixing weaknesses, becomes the foundation for a focused one-to-one conversation and a concrete development plan.

General workplace coaching can start from almost anywhere. A specific problem, a skills gap, a performance issue. Strengths-based coaching always starts from a validated picture of the individual’s natural strengths, motivators, values and blind spots. The conversation is evidence-based and solutions-focused from the very first session, rather than built on assumption.

Both. Sessions run virtually by video call or in person, depending on what works best for the individual and the organization. Most clients choose virtual delivery for its flexibility, particularly where people work across multiple locations.

Yes. TalentPredix™ strengths coaching is available to organizations and individuals internationally. Sessions are delivered virtually as standard for international clients, so you can support people and teams wherever they are based.

Every session runs 90 minutes, whichever package you choose. That gives enough time to unpack the assessment results properly, explore what they mean for the person’s situation, and agree a clear next step. Shorter slots force people to rush.

Yes. Coaching conversations are confidential between the coach and the individual. The sponsoring organization may agree overall development themes or goals with the individual up front. The content of each session is never shared with managers or HR without the individual’s consent. This reflects the rigorous ethical standards our coaches work to, aligned with ICF guidelines, and it is what makes it possible for people to speak openly.

All three. DISCOVER suits employees at any level who want a focused first look at their strengths and how to apply them. ELEVATE covers career mobility, transition, leadership development and self-mastery. ADVANCE is built for high-potential talent and succession planning. Organizations enrolling multiple people, including whole teams, also benefit from our volume pricing.

Yes. Team strengths coaching combines our TalentPredix™ Team assessment with facilitated sessions. It builds a shared strengths language across the team, surfaces complementary strengths and potential friction points, and turns that insight into a team development plan. Individual coaching for key members can follow where it is needed. Get in touch to discuss a team-wide rollout.

Pricing starts at £295 excl. VAT for a single 90-minute DISCOVER session. It scales to £1,750 excl. VAT for the six-session ADVANCE package. Every package includes a TalentPredix™ Standard Profile, with the option to add a 360° Profile for £75 excl. VAT. Organizations enrolling five or more employees receive an automatic volume discount.

Individuals are welcome. Most of our coaching clients are organizations investing in their people, but anyone can purchase a package directly for their own development. The coaching is priced and delivered exactly the same way.

Yes, and the research backs it up. A 2025 meta-analysis of controlled workplace studies found that strengths-based interventions produce measurable improvements in employee engagement and job performance. Coaching-specific studies show the same pattern. Employees who received strengths-based coaching saw meaningful gains in engagement, performance and confidence compared with those who did not. The effects are real rather than dramatic. Research also suggests one-to-one coaching delivers stronger results than group workshops alone, which is exactly how our packages are built.

Yes. Alongside our practitioner training, we run an Advanced Strengths Coaching Certification. It is open to all TalentPredix™ certified practitioners who want to deepen their coaching capability beyond assessment delivery. It builds on your existing certification to strengthen coaching conversations around Limiters, blind spots and development planning. Email support@talentpredix.com for dates.

No, this is a common misconception. Strengths-based coaching doesn’t ignore areas that need attention; it just approaches them differently. Alongside identifying natural strengths, it uncovers blockers and blind spots that other approaches often miss entirely — particularly overused strengths, where a strength is applied excessively or in the wrong situation and produces the opposite of its intended effect. Boldness, for example, is a real asset in a crisis, but overused in a routine team meeting it can look like steamrolling colleagues rather than showing leadership. Rather than telling someone to “be less bold,” strengths-based coaching helps them recognise when and how to dial a strength up or down — a more creative, collaborative and empowering way to address weaker areas than a traditional deficit-focused approach.
