Case Study 01: CliftonStrengths Leadership Workshop for Senior Management
Organisation: Pico Art International | MNC
Engagement Type: CliftonStrengths Leadership Workshop
Participants: 14 Senior Leaders
Team Scope: Global team with leaders from Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and Dubai
Format: Half Day Interactive, Fully Facilitated workshop, 3 hours
Facilitated by: Victor Seet, ICF PCC | Gallup Gold Certified CliftonStrengths and Newfield Certified Ontological Coach
The Challenge:
Pico Art International is one of Asia's leading experiential design and events companies. With a senior leadership team spread across multiple regions, the Group CEO wanted to bring her global leaders into a single room and create something meaningful. This is not just another offsite, but a session with real depth.
The brief from CEO Jean Chia was precise: design and execute a 3-hour session where every senior leader walks away knowing how their unique talents have contributed to their success. Have the leaders validate and appreciate the varied talents across the team. Facilitate a discussion about the collective team strengths and connect those strengths insights to the business strategies.
For a group this experienced and this senior, that was a significant ask.
The Approach
The preparation took several weeks. Victor analysed the CliftonStrengths data of all 14 leaders, studied the business context, and designed a session that would land with a group accustomed to high standards.
Three priorities shaped the design:
Individual Strengths Articulation - For each leader, Victor prepared to articulate their unique strengths profile in a way that felt specific, personal, and connected to how they actually lead. The goal was not to summarise a report, but to demonstrate insight — speaking to who each leader is, in a way they would recognise and validate.
Collective Team Strengths Map - Beyond individual profiles, Victor identified the collective strengths of the global team: what they were naturally strong at as a unit, where their blind spots lay, and what that meant for the organisation's strategic priorities going forward.
CEO Leadership Platform - The session also gave Jean Chia, Group CEO, a rare platform to articulate her own leadership strengths to her team, connecting her CliftonStrengths profile to the specific business strategies she wanted to drive. This anchored the session in business relevance, not just team development.
What Happened in the Room
The session validated the preparation. As Victor articulated each leader's strengths, the positive energy in the room went up, as different members of the group spontaneously affirmed the insights, despite Victor having no prior personal knowledge of them and what they do. Several leaders noted that this profiling felt more powerful and accurate than other psychometric tools they had used previously.
By the end of the session, multiple senior leaders were asking whether they could bring CliftonStrengths to their own next-tier leadership teams, a strong signal of genuine buy-in from people who rarely endorse anything quickly.

Facilitator's Reflection
Three things stood out from this engagement.
First, small details matter enormously when working with senior leaders. They notice everything and size you up as a facilitator right from the start.
Second, strengths data only becomes powerful when it is married to real business and leadership context.
Third, the most effective approach is to show, not tell, to demonstrate insight through evidence rather than simply presenting a framework.
This session reinforced why preparation is the real work. The three hours in the room were the visible tip. The weeks of analysis and design beneath it were what made it land.
