CliftonStrengths Individual Coaching
A one-on-one 60-90 minute coaching session with a trained GIA CliftonStrengths coach
Who: Ministry leaders and workers over the age of 18
The Issue: God has uniquely gifted each of us for service. However, we often do not understand our strengths and how best to use them in service to our Lord and others. We need to identify God’s wiring and then reflect with others on our Strengths for ministry and service
The Answer: God has uniquely woven us together with individual strengths. The CliftonStrengths assessment through Gallup is a great tool to identify those strengths. Once the online assessment is complete, individuals get a report. Knowing what that report means is where strengths begin to impact the way we understand ourselves and others.
GIA provides CliftonStrengths coaching (60-90 minutes) to unlock what the report means and to help individuals see how strengths interplay. This impacts the way we see things. It affects how we do things, but not what we do.
Results: Servants of our Lord who understand how God has created them for service, and who can use their God-given strengths more and more each day.
