Coaching & Assessment
You have one chance at that first impression-- are you making the most of it?
Whether you are just entering the workplace or are a seasoned professional, career coaching can help you focus on your strengths and show recruiters to C-suite executives the best version of you.
Develop Strong Tools to Help You Stand Out
Make an impression with a standout resume.
A strengths-based resume will make you a top contender, and preparation for future interviews will ensure a lasting impression. Impressions are made from the moment you hit send, place that phone call and walk in the room--ensure you are sending the right message.
Have an outstanding interview.
In today's world, practicing for the traditional interview isn't enough. In recent years, the behavioral interview, also known as the competency-based interview, has gained popularity. Behavioral-based interview questions help the interviewer understand how you've performed and behaved in the past with actual results and scenarios.
Understanding your strengths, and how you have used them in the past is an important part of the preparation process. Be assured of putting the best version of yourself on display using a strengths-based approach.

Be prepared to take the lead.
You weren't prepared to speak today-- whether it is an update on an important project or a celebratory toast, there is a winning formula to delivering messages that hit the mark every time. Maybe thinking quickly on your feet isn't your strong suit, especially when it comes to the Q&A portion of the program. Learn sure fire ways to dissect what is being asked and how to appropriately respond.
Mind your manners and adjust to the environment.
When it comes to business etiquette, there are rules that aren’t meant to be broken. Business etiquette is made of a set of both spoken and unspoken rules. In recent years companies have embraced a more laid-back approach; although it may not be obvious, many companies still have implicit professional and social rules of conduct. While it is intended to build strong relationships, breaking any of these rules can be quite detrimental to your professional relationships and career.
From cubicle etiquette, casual dress rules, business lunches to writing letters, you need to know the rules and how to make the best impressions.
Feedback Tools
Strong leaders need to possess a high degree of self-awareness and know how to create alignment between their goals and how others perceive them. Strength Leaders Advisory believes in the power of 360⁰ feedback. This assessment begins with a leader providing their “take” on their behavior in the workplace; after evaluating themselves they invite direct reports, peers, seniors and other business associates to evaluate them on the same criteria. This methodology allows input from all levels of the organization, thus providing a 360⁰ perspective.
In terms of professional development, the 360⁰ assessment is an excellent tool to use as a basis for individualized coaching. The assessment provides insight a leader can use to align their goals and behavior. Using a strengths-based approach we coach leaders on how to use their best assets to gain desired results. We help leaders manage the impressions their behavior creates and provide them with techniques to sustain the desired behaviors.
