I am a huge fan of taking a strengths-based approach to life, in the belief that many of us don’t even know what we are great at because it comes so naturally and we assume everyone is great at that too.
If you complete this strengths profile, it will improve your confidence and it will evidence your strengths too and you can use that information in an elevator pitch or personal statement. I loved the Strengths in Focus exercise. It reflected my strengths accurately and highlighted a draining element which I had not spotted before which has changed the way I approach things.
Anna’s facilitation of the result was extremely insightful and so crucial that I have made the relevant adjustments into work and life.

It was a light bulb moment for me when I saw the results: strengths I have in one context can be applied to another! It’s totally obvious, but it took the Strengths In Focus report to demonstrate it to me!
Office Manager, Service Industry
At my age, I’ve worked out what I’m good at, but the Strengths In Focus profile, apart from giving me a more precise view of my strengths, also highlighted the fact that clients keep asking me to do things that drain me, and I keep saying yes! Given the clear picture the profile has given me, I’ve now developed a strategy to do more of what I love, and pass on the other stuff to colleagues.
Jane, Senior HR consultant
I was very frustrated in my role, and the Strengths In Focus report showed me precisely why. As a result, I have just started a new job, where I can use most of my strengths most of the time. This has transformed my working life, and the profile showed me exactly what to avoid, but more importantly, the key things to go for.
