CliftonStrengths Workshop for Senior Leadership - MP Group
What happens when a team of senior leaders come together with their next gen leaders to talk about strengths?
It was a fantastic morning spent with a group of leaders. We examine
Individual profiles
Collective strengths for the current Senior Leadership Team as well as the Future Next Gen Leadership Team.
My favourite portion and where I derive the most joy was to do the individual and team analysis of the strengths and how these strengths can be leveraged for specific parts of leading the business.
Strengths-Based Selling - Great Eastern Financial Advisors
𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐅𝐀?
👉 Did I hit my numbers?
For many Sales Professionals, this is often Top of the mind concern.
Performance measurement isn’t complicated. The scoreboard or sales result is always visible. 📈
✅Most who chose sales for a living are already self-motivated. The systems reward results. The incentives are clear.
But not everyone gets the outcomes they want. ❌ That was my personal lived experience too.
🔆 One of my biggest breakthroughs comes from learning and understanding HOW I SELL.
- What is it about the way I naturally build trust?
- What kind of conversations flow easily for me and what do I stumble in?
- What do I do almost effortlessly that others might struggle with?
That self-knowledge changed everything.
And that was what I hoped would land with the group of financial advisors I was speaking to.
Over 70 FAs from Great Eastern.
A wide range of ages and experience.
Many had already completed their strengths assessment. But the unspoken question in the room was clear:
🆗 “SO WHAT?”
So what if I have these identified talents?
What does this mean for client development work or pitching or when I am building my sales pipeline?
When an FA sees:
☑️Why certain conversations feel easy or draining
☑️Why they are so energised at specific stages of the sales process and stuck at others
☑️Why they succeed consistently with certain client profiles but not others
✅When an insight connects, the person shifts. Clarity lifts up the veil 💯
Strengths, on its own, is not insight.
🔅Insight only happens when people can connect it to Real Selling Moments. 🎯
When we understand how our strengths actually help us REPEAT our strong performances, the process becomes sustainable and feels lighter.
That’s the real power of strengths for a FA or any sales person.
I love #strengthsbasedselling
CliftonStrengths Team Building Workshop - MTI
Tried something new when the stakes are real?
Not for fun. But as a way of experimenting and performing even when tried and tested methods are available.
Some do that out of necessity.
Others do that to engage their strengths.
I belong to the latter.
My #Activator says “Learning comes through doing.”
Recently, during a #CliftonStrengths #teambuilding workshop with a group from MTI, I executed a newly designed activity to help participants deepen ownership of their talents. It was untested. It was the first time this activity was run, in a live setting, with real expectations.
My #Activator was alive.
My #Ideation was fully engaged.
My #SelfAssurance says “Go for it!”
And my #Achiever was delighted when the room responded and the outcomes landed.
Not every experiment will be successful.
But each one strengthens our capacity to act with intention, even without certainty.
A small victory.
But success builds momentum.
And momentum propels me forward.
CliftonStrengths Group Coaching - NUS
A Slow start to 2026
It really has been a rather challenging start to the year. I can really empathize with those who have had a bad start to the year.
Took time to fully recover from Influenza A. The cough and itchy throat continued to create disturbance and it was just hard to focus at work.
As an #Activator, the lack of momentum was triggering.
In the midst of frustration and feeling stuck, the opportunity to do some follow up strengths coaching work with Shawn Koh and two of his teams came up. The chance to deepen the impact of strengths was greatly welcome.
The preparation, design work and eventual coaching work brought relief and much joy. I greatly enjoy using #CliftonStrengths to call out the brilliance of individuals and teams.
I can now better appreciate and connect the dots to the feedback of my prophetic gifting while I serve in church. #Connectedness
So on this personal note, my wish for 2026 is to have greater clarity, confidence and conviction in how I can use my giftings to lift up the spirit of others.
This post marks a little victory.
And hopefully I will gain some momentum from here.
CliftonStrengths Team Building Workshop - CPF Singapore
Had a wonderful time co-facilitating with fellow CliftonStrengths Coach Wen Wei.
We did a Team Building workshop for one of the teams in CPF and had a lovely time. It was a very tightly knitted group and had a lovely session with them.
The most enjoyable part was doing the team coaching when we split up by department and I had a more indepth conversation exploring the complementary partnerships and the team strengths.
CliftonStrengths Leadership Workshop for Senior Management - Pico Art
I was given a precise brief by the CEO.
Design and execute a 3 hours session for the senior leadership team. They are all very good at what they do, very experienced and come from three different regions. Each senior leader must walk away from the session knowing how their unique talents have contributed to their successes. Have the leaders validate and appreciate the varied talents among the team.
For me, that was certainly a big ask.
It took weeks of preparation - analyzing the strengths data, understanding the business context and designing the session.
Session went smoothly and thankful for the support of Kia Meng, Shayln Wong and Angela Chiang.
Feedback was fantastic and validated the energy I observed during the session.
What I took away:
- Small details matter when facilitating learning for senior leaders.
- Strengths data must marry with business and leadership context
- Show not tell. Demonstrate through evidence and insights from the data.
And I am personally most delighted in receiving a personal testimonial from the CEO.
