CliftonStrengths for Secondary Students - Discovering Their Strengths and Talents

Spent a whole morning together with an amazing team bringing StrengthsFinder to a group of Secondary three students from School of Science and Technology. There were 10 of us and each one was assigned a class to facilitate.

It was a purposeful time spent. The students were very engaged and I was glad to be able to share what I am passionate about. Thankful to be back in the school scene impacting the lives of youth in Singapore.

CliftonStrengths for Family and Marriage Program

As a firm believer that families and marriages are the bedrock of our society, I had the privilege of facilitating a CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) program for families and couples from Church of Our Saviour.

It was a very fulfilling time of seeing parents and children and spouses relating to each other, strengthening their relationships and bonds through the strengths and values conversations.

Wen Wei Loh and I have many influencing strengths in common. We were facilitating a cliftonstrengths team building workshop together for over 50pax. 

Yet, what stood out were the unique strengths that we bring.

Wen Wei is Mr Woo, Includer and Positivity. I am Mr Belief, Command and Self-Assurance. 
We both had Communication, Maximizer, Strategic and Ideation. 

He brings light-heartedness and warmth through his stories and engagement. 
I bring clarity by talking about the hidden thoughts, unspoken rules and gunning for the heart of the matter. 

You can imagine the Yin and Yang❗️

We had a blast 💥 

While results can certainly be improved, opportunities lost would not be recovered. I’m glad we chose to pair up despite a short runway. 

I’m convinced 10 years ago. And I’m still convinced now. 

✅Leveraging Talents is fundamentally different from leveraging work experience, knowledge and skills. 

The X factor 🔥that one has can NEVER be replicated by another. 

✅Only by leveraging through #strengthspartnership that we can enjoy each other’s X factor 🔥 and the power we uniquely bring. 

Strengths Team Building Workshop Program - Seng Kang General Hospital

Had an opportunity to do some strengths-based team development work for a team of healthcare professionals from Seng Kang General Hospital.

Due to some unique needs, I decided intentionally not to use CliftonStrengths Assessment (which is my go-to).

Instead, I tried a new strengths based approach to meet the needs of the team. It definitely wasn’t comfortable. Thankful that I had the support of another colleague to pull off this team building workshop program. We worked on the same principles - focused everyone towards their strengths, help people connect deeper and build trust through the strengths language and help participants apply their strengths in team collaboration.

The results were immensely satisfying. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive from each participant. 

The experience has definitely inspired confidence to offer alternative solutions while not compromising on the strengths based approach to team development. 

Adapting and expanding of oneself is necessary to survive. I strongly believe in learning to anticipate the curve before it bends. The goal is to turn disruptions into opportunities. 

It is mostly uncomfortable and I honestly dislike the process. 

But the choice is clear to me:  innovate or evaporate.

CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Team Building - Technology Company

Stronger Together: Celebrating 15 years

What happens when you bring together 30 brilliant minds from Singapore and ASEAN region to celebrate 15 years of innovation, collaboration, and resilience? A team ready to level up—with strengths as their superpower! 

Had the honor of facilitating a CliftonStrengths Team Building Workshop for eVantage, this dynamic tech company.

I had a deeper realization: 

Strengths are launchpads.

They help us understand why we thrive in certain roles, how we contribute best, and who we need beside us to go further, faster, stronger.

As this team steps into their next chapter, they do so not just as colleagues, but as a cohesive force ready to shape the future.

Here’s to celebrating strengths, unlocking potential, and moving forward—together!

CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Team Coaching - Collaboration & Communication

“𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦’𝐬 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬?

Imagine the difference when we ask: “Who’s handling this work?”versus “Who’s built for this?”

Many meetings drain energy because they overfocus on tasks. Adding strengths conversations into such meetings shift the energy positively because they shift the focus towards people. 

Instead of saying, “Good work on the deck. Let’s now quickly prepare for the presentation”, we ask, “I saw your energy and enthusiasm when you were putting the deck together. What about doing slides make you so happy? How can we partner together?” 

The difference? One feels like a to-do list. The other feels like unlocking superpowers. My work as a #Teamcoach is helping teams redefine their habits.

In this most recent #CliftonStrengths session, we didn’t discuss work—we discovered flow. When members of the team explore what they see in each other and in themselves, they stop reinforcing the negative stories about each other. 

They start being curious about what each other cares for at work and what makes each other feel like they are thriving.

The energy shifts. The body relaxes. The smiles appear. 

Collaboration and partnership becomes a natural outcome. 

My own reflection after the team coaching:
There was a deeper realization that I aim to integrate emotional work with strengths. Sometimes it’s peace-making work by diffusing existing conflicts. Other times, it’s amplifying hope for teams that feel burdened. My superpower is injecting clarity into a team’s emotional context and generating the required shift. I love seeing teams come alive and this session gave me evidence of what I can generate in terms of the outcome! #Grateful
