My team has already invested in understanding our MBTI, DiSc, Insights, Enneagram, Colors or [insert any other framework you can think of here] — why should we bother with CliftonStrengths®?
There are tons of great answers to this question, but let’s start with the basics:
CliftonStrengths® is the only data-backed assessment there is and is based on 50 years of research and positive psychology.
This methodology was developed by Gallup — a world-leading research company.
CliftonStrengths® has been embraced by over 25 million people looking to thrive in life, or within their companies — and is currently employed by more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies.
With more than 25 million data points in over 100 countries around the world, CliftonStrengths® is backed by more evidence than any similar assessment or its associated methodology.
Companies that apply CliftonStrengths® report increased productivity, sales, profit, and engagement within their employees.

How long does it take to see a difference?
This totally depends! Results can be immediate or take a bit of time depending on the individual or team taking part in the CliftonStrengths® assessment and learning the attached methodology.
Factors that come into play include but are not limited to:
Self-awareness
Reflection
Processing
Honesty
Investment
Attitude
For teams, it’s also important to note that best results are always achieved when the manager or champion is dedicated to understanding and leveraging the system. The stronger your leader’s commitment, the sooner the team will see benefits and uncover their new reality.
What is the max number of people for an effective workshop?
For a workshop, you’ll need a minimum of two participants. If you’re looking to roll CliftonStrengths® and Reframed Coaching out to an entire organization, I recommend a phased approach, moving through teams by function or working group. For example, all executives might go first, everyone in accounting second, and so on.
What are the actual, tangible benefits of implementing CliftonStrengths® with my team?**
It’s good to be skeptical — but I think you’ll find the numbers speak for themselves! By applying CliftonStrengths® methodology, teams see an average of:
7.8 - 12.5% increase in productivity
10.3 - 19.3% increase in sales
14.4 - 29.4% increase in profit
9 - 15% increase in team engagement
26 - 71.8 pts decrease in turnover
Even better — folks at companies that use this game-changing system are six times more likely to be engaged at their jobs, three times as likely to report high quality of life, and six times as likely to strongly agree that they have the opportunity to do what they do best every day.
Still not convinced? Perhaps this will entice you further. Members of teams that employ CliftonStrengths® also:
