In Detail

Strengths Scope is a diagnostic instrument designed to help coaches, leaders, and facilitators identify and deploy signature strengths for performance. It sits within the category of Strengths-based profiling tool, making it particularly useful for practitioners working on capability development, team performance, and individual growth in organisational settings.

In practice, Strengths Scope is delivered as a 6-step process. The process begins by participants complete the Strengths Profile (Strengthscope) questionnaire online. The session closes by examine learned behaviours that drain energy -- how can they be managed or delegated? 6. The structured approach ensures that participants move through a consistent experience while leaving room for the facilitator to adapt pacing and depth to the group's needs.

Strengths Scope is particularly valuable when objective data is needed to anchor a coaching conversation. Assessments reduce the risk of coaching being driven solely by the coachee's self-perception, introducing external reference points that open up new lines of inquiry and development.

How to Use

1. Participants complete the Strengths Profile (Strengthscope) questionnaire online. 2. Receive a report identifying realised strengths, unrealised strengths, learned behaviours, and weaknesses. 3. Focus first on realised strengths -- how are they deployed? 4. Explore unrealised strengths: where could these be used more? 5. Examine learned behaviours that drain energy -- how can they be managed or delegated? 6. Build a strengths-based development plan.
