Integrated CliftonStrengths & Ontological Team Coaching - NSCS Senior Leaders, Singapore
This team coaching session was conducted for the management team from NSCS, Prime Minister Office, SIngapore. The session used Gallup's CliftonStrengths profiling tool alongside ontological coaching to help the senior leaders identify their dominant talent themes and explore how to apply them in their day-to-day leadership roles. Participants left with deeper self-awareness and a shared strengths language for stronger partnerships and collaboration.
The Engagement:
On 7 July 2023, Victor delivered a full-day integrated CliftonStrengths Workshop and Ontological Team Coaching session for a group of seven Directors from the public sector in Singapore. The group brought high levels of engagement, willingness to participate, and the psychological safety to take genuine risks in their learning.
The Goals:
The session was designed with four clear leadership development objectives:
Each director to gain greater self-awareness and dive deeper into their individual strengths and growth areas
The team to deepen their collective level of trust
The team to understand the strengths and aspirations of each person, particularly their team leader, to collaborate more effectively
The team to develop a shared approach to joint decision-making
The Approach:
Victor structured the day as a two-part integrated experience - a hallmark of his combined CliftonStrengths and ontological coaching methodology.
The morning focused on individual strengths exploration - each director gaining clarity on their dominant talent themes and how those themes shape their leadership style, decision-making, and working relationships.
The afternoon shifted into ontological team coaching. This means moving the group from individual awareness into collective application. This included an open conversation about each person's strengths and aspirations, with particular focus on the team leader articulating their vision for the organisation and the support they needed from the team. The day closed with a team conversation on how to intentionally leverage each person's strengths going forward.
By the end of the day a deeper sense of respect and camaraderie had emerged across the group.
Outcomes:
All seven directors participated in the post-session evaluation, giving an overall workshop rating of 9.1 out of 10.
