At Harewood Consulting Inc. (HCI), we provide expert CliftonStrengths coaching, team workshops, and leadership development solutions that help organizations uncover and maximize their greatest asset—people’s natural talents.
Formerly known as StrengthsFinder, CliftonStrengths is a research-based assessment developed by Gallup that identifies an individual’s top strengths out of 34 distinct talent themes. This tool is designed to shift the focus from fixing weaknesses to leveraging what people do best.
Our certified coaches help your team understand, apply, and scale their strengths to drive performance, engagement, collaboration, and culture transformation.
5 Reasons Most Companies Need CliftonStrengths
Boost Engagement and Reduce Turnover
Teams that use their strengths every day are 6x more engaged and show higher job satisfaction, leading to better retention.
Develop More Effective, Authentic Leaders
Strengths-based leadership creates confident, self-aware leaders who are more adaptive, empathetic, and productive.
Increase Team Performance and Trust
Understanding team members’ strengths builds mutual respect, improves communication, and reduces interpersonal conflict.
Enhance Personal Growth and Development
Employees get individualized insight into what makes them unique, increasing motivation and ownership over their development.
Build a Strengths-Based Company Culture
Embedding strengths in hiring, management, and performance reviews fosters a positive, high-performance workplace.
5 Reasons Most Companies Don’t Use CliftonStrengths
Lack of Awareness or Misunderstanding
Some leaders still equate CliftonStrengths with simple personality tests, not recognizing its strategic business value.
No Certified Facilitators or Coaches on Staff
Without trained professionals, organizations struggle to interpret results or apply them in a meaningful way.
Fear of Culture Change or Pushback
Shifting to a strengths-based culture can feel like a big leap, especially in traditionally performance-focused environments.
Assumption That It’s “Too Soft”
Some organizations dismiss tools focused on people and potential as non-essential or “nice to have.”
Budget Constraints or Competing Priorities
When resources are tight, development tools like CliftonStrengths are often deprioritized despite their long-term ROI.
