Strengths-based development is an approach that helps team members identify how they can purposely aim their talents so that the team is better equipped to accomplish its goals and performance objectives and respond to everyday situations. Using Gallup’s CliftonStrengths assessment, adelante provides half-day, full-day, and follow-up team strengths development learning sessions. Team sessions are designed to help team members name and claim their own strengths, better understand and appreciate the strengths of each colleague, and collectively explore how to best leverage the strengths of the team. Team members work more productively together and are more successful at reaching their goals when they know and value their colleagues’ strengths and how to partner effectively together.

The relationship between every two people on a team, impact the team as a whole. Adelante offers partnership coaching to provide any two individual team members (including the team leader) a safe and productive opportunity to understand each other better and redesign how they are working together. Using Gallup’s CliftonStrengths assessment, team members move from judging to understanding to valuing each other in highly productive ways. By building trust, the partnership between team members become truly collaborative, and the team as a whole becomes more highly functioning as a result. 

According to Stephen M.R. Covey, author of The Speed of Trust, “Contrary to what most people believe, trust is not some soft, illusive quality that you either have or you don’t; rather, trust is a pragmatic, tangible, actionable asset that you can create – much faster than you probably think possible.” If your team is losing valuable time on interpersonal and relationship issues stemming from or causing lack of trust within its members, adelante can customize design a powerful team learning experience to help get your team back on the track moving towards wholeness and high performance. Custom half-day and full day facilitated trust-building sessions are co-designed with team and team leader input.
