60 Strengths Explained

Watch all 60 Strengths Videos

Understand yourself better. Lead yourself better. Live better.

Each of us has a unique combination of 60 strengths — but insight only becomes powerful when you know how to use it.

The Strengths Profile assessment sits at the heart of how I work with clients through HiR. It goes beyond telling you what you’re good at and instead shows you how you naturally operate at your best.

Your personalised Strengths Profile reveals:

• What energises you — your realised strengths

• What you could use more often — your unrealised strengths

• What you’ve learned to do but find draining — learned behaviours

• What consistently holds you back — weaknesses

This gives you a clear, practical understanding of where to focus your energy — and where not to.

Used properly, strengths insight helps you:

• make clearer decisions

• feel more confident and fulfilled

• reduce burnout and frustration

• perform at a higher level without forcing it

But insight alone isn’t enough.

Turning Insight into Action

This is where coaching matters.

When you work with a coach, your Strengths Profile becomes a roadmap, not just a report. Together, we translate insight into real-world change — in how you think, lead yourself, work, relate to others, and make decisions.

That’s why Foundations is the starting point for all coaching.

Foundations: Where the Work Begins

Foundations is a focused 4-week coaching experience and a complete piece of work in its own right.

It’s fully tailored to you and designed to:

• give deep insight into how you lead yourself

• clarify what’s really going on beneath the surface

• identify what needs to change next — at work, in life, or both

After Foundations, you choose what happens next:

• pause and integrate the work

• continue with monthly, fortnightly, or weekly coaching memberships

• book coaching sessions on demand

Memberships are flexible, include unlimited WhatsApp and email support, and can be cancelled at any time.
