Your weaknesses will never be your superpowers. Full stop.
When was the last time you felt completely in flow at work? When did time disappear? When did you realize you’d been energized rather than drained at the end of the day?
Those answers are your signals. They signal your superpowers.
Those spontaneous, effortless moments are not flukes. They’re your DNA Strengths screaming and flashing for your attention. The kicker is, many of us aren’t “listening” or “watching” closely enough to hear and see them.
Instead, we find ourselves obsessing over what I call our “lesser Strengths. We expend energy attempting to round ourselves out into some mythical “all-inclusive leader.” The result is that we invest time and effort into becoming mediocre at everything, rather than exceptional in our natural Strengths.
Your greatest contribution to work, family, and community doesn’t come from shoring up your weaknesses. It comes from unleashing your Strengths so you can do what you already do, more brilliantly.
When leaders understand their natural Strengths, three things occur:
- They stop apologizing for who they are. Different leadership styles create different kinds of magic. Your magic matters.
- They build teams strategically. Instead of cloning themselves, they hire people whose Strengths complement theirs.
- They lead with authenticity. There is no need to contort into someone else’s version of leadership.
Our CliftonStrengths Leadership Workshops aren’t about fixing people. They’re about helping leaders recognize the patterns they’re not seeing, which is primarily rooted in understanding that their Strengths are unique to them and working through those Strengths will always create their greatest impact.
According to Gallup Analytics, individuals who know and use their Strengths are:
- 6x more likely to be engaged at work
- 3x as likely to report having an excellent quality of life
- 8% more productive
And teams that receive Strengths-based development can have:
- 29% increased profit
- 19% increased sales
- 72% less turnover
Who wouldn’t want those results for themselves and their teams?
Your superpowers are hiding in plain sight, in the actions that feel effortless to you.
2026 is the time to stop leading outside yourself and start leading from within yourself.
To explore how your Strengths can impact and shape your leadership and your teams, let’s discuss bringing one of our CliftonStrengths Workshops to you and your organization today.
Imagine your team feeling this way after one of our session(s):
“The Clifton Strengths assessment training was incredibly insightful, and it was wonderful to see our leaders engage so enthusiastically in the process. Stacy’s unique ability to guide us through understanding our individual and team strengths created a dynamic environment that enabled our entire group to strategize practical and actionable ways to elevate our performance. It’s clear that she has a gift for fostering a positive and collaborative atmosphere, and it inspired us all to think about how we can further leverage our strengths moving forward. It was extremely impactful and will undoubtedly lead to positive growth and development. I can’t wait to see how we use these insights to level up our teamwork! “
“I really enjoyed the training this morning and found it useful to understand our leadership’s strengths. The main takeaways I got from it were to lean into your strengths and not necessarily focus on improving the weaker areas. That was kind of a counterintuitive point that I think makes sense after hearing the reasoning. I also liked seeing the rollup at the end with each person’s Strengths and where we line out as a group. I picked up a few things on some of the group that I don’t know as well that will help me work with them going forward.”
“From the WOO, thank you, Stacy, for such an amazing and intuitive experience today! It was a fun-filled and thoughtful way of putting our bodies and minds together to reflect on ourselves and our future team. I learned a lot and look forward to implementing new techniques and ways to encourage growth throughout the departments.”
