Name, Claim, Aim

My son named, claimed, and aimed his strengths to climb to the top, and we can do that as leaders.

Focusing on your top 5 strengths in your Clifton Strengths Assessment can be powerful! In my coach certification training through Gallup, I learned to help clients name, claim, and aim their strengths.  My son is a climber. I imagine he uses a similar tactic when approaching a climb. He knows what he is good at. He looks for spaces and grips where he can leverage his strengths. He aims his abilities and skills to get to the top of the climb.

When you name your strengths, you take a deep dive into how they show up for you and how you define each one in your life. It is important to think about what each one means to you. Self assurance can be defined differently for different individuals. Some folks might define self assurance as an extrovert who likes to take bold risks.

Pri is an incredible coach who pushes me to see things from different perspectives and to focus on areas I would have, on my own, ignored. She introduces frameworks that are applicable to many situations and guides me to apply them to all that we do. Pri listens carefully and as a result, really understands the challenges I face in my professional role. A true coach, Pri doesn’t solve my problems for me, but instead she guides me to come to possible solutions. By “leading me to water,” I’m able to approach other challenges with the confidence necessary to get through them successfully. I’d highly recommend working with Pri!
