Strengths Coaching Certification Course Day 3

The certification course used Gallup's CliftonStrengths profiling tool alongside ontological coaching to help participants identify their dominant talent themes and deepen the learning on Strengths based coaching applications in an organizational context.

Being an Activator 

It’s been 2 weeks since the completion of the 3 days strengths coaching certification course. I have had time to debrief myself and to reflect on the experience. 

When the idea was first mooted, my Activator came alive. I saw all the possibilities. I could imagine what Yeang Cherng and I could bring to the table with our combined experiences, knowledge and skills. 

I imagined that the course will have a very different experience from the typical strengths workshop. I imagined that the opportunity will give us greater autonomy and space to integrate the ontological and strengths lens into the program design. 

Using Systems thinking as the backdrop, and wearing the ontological lens as coaches, we adopted a different approach and structure in the 3 days course.

For me, it was 3 full days filled with personal stories and coaching conversations - battle scars of leadership, fears and frustrations of team management, student management, parenting. The authenticity from different individuals created a safe space to learn.  

Could the course be improved? Definitely!

Was it a success? Definitely!

How much did starting this coaching program energize the Activator? 100/10

Looking forward to continue this in 2026 and creating version 2.0
