Strengths Profiling for Organisations

At HiR, we make strengths profiling quick, simple, and impactful for individuals, teams, and entire organisations. Whether assessing existing employees or potential hires, each person receives a unique post-assessment report and a 90-minute one-on-one debrief with an accredited strengths practitioner.

We also offer leadership reports, team profiles, and dynamic workshops to help teams embed their learnings and develop strategies to maximise their strengths.

Ready to unlock hidden potential? Book a free 20-minute call to explore how strengths profiling can drive performance and engagement in your business.

STRENGTHS BASED TEAM COACHING

Elevate Program

Take your team to a higher place.

Ready to take your team's performance, engagement, and well-being to the next level?

Our Elevate Program is designed for leaders, SME owners, not-for-profits and community organisations to make an impact quickly.

30% Uplift in Team Performance in 90 days - GUARANTEED.

Like all HiR programs, it starts with a Strengths Profile assessment for all program participants—typically the Leadership team, a specific Agile team, a department, or a project-focused team.

Each Participant receives an insightful 60-minute debrief session diving into their personalised Strengths Profile Expert report with a fully accredited Strengths Practitioner (SP).

Here's what they'll discover:

  • Top 7 Realised Strengths

  • Top 7 Unrealised Strengths

  • 4 Learned Behaviours

  • 3 Areas for Growth


Our accredited SP practitioner will guide them through it all, providing actionable advice to help them unleash their full potential, primarily focusing on those unrealised strengths.

Each Participant receives at least two 60-minute individual coaching sessions to understand and leverage what they learned during the debrief fully.

The Elevate Program also includes three team sessions to understand how everyone contributes to the whole and where the whole team has the potential to unlock collective unrealised strengths and work in more harmony. Understanding each other from a Strengths perspective will level up engagement, productivity, and well-being, as each person will deeply understand who each other is and what strengths they bring to the team.

The post-program support includes accountability checks and ongoing email/WhatsApp support for 90 days.

Talent Development & Outplacement

At HiR, we believe in a tailored employee experience and offer you and your colleagues support.

Our programs can be used and tailored to support your corporate training and development strategy.

As an alternative to a mainstream provider, we support graduate and apprenticeship programs and rising and critical talent, or we can help with performance improvement interventions.

Suppose you are in the challenging position of making redundancies or downsizing. In that case, our programs combine established content and lived experience to ensure this cohort is catered to effectively through powerful outplacement support.

We couldn't be happier with our HiR experience as we built our business Leadership Team. James recruited four senior managers for us in record time, using his strengths methodology to better understand candidates.

Recruitment

Are you looking to build out or replace talent?

We help with discreet yet full-service recruitment or can act as a consultant to support specific stages of the process, leveraging the power of Strengths to drive your organisation forward.

Are you working within an organisation committed to a more diverse workforce?

But not getting the variety of applicants from your campaigns you'd like or carry through from your recruitment processes to hiring outcomes to achieve your diversity and inclusion goals?

We help on a project basis to ensure you are not missing out on the benefits of having the strongest talent in your workplace.

Consulting

Working on a project, outcomes or retained basis, depending on the brief, James supports organisations to grow, build capacity, and become more resilient;

  • helping Founders to ideate, set-up and get through their first year

  • supporting start-ups to develop products, connect with customers and create systems

  • assisting established organisations to develop strategy, teams and open up new markets

It starts with a conversation about where you are at and what you want to achieve.

Public Speaking

Speaking Topics (30-60 minutes + Q+A depending on client needs)

  1. Unleash Your Unicorn - Unlocking True Potential Using the Power of Strengths; focused on the gains for performance and happiness an individual can achieve by understanding and leveraging their strengths.

  2. Elevating Teams & Empowering Employees - How Strengths-based Talent Development Can Deliver a 30% Increase in Performance; an evidence-based session providing an understanding of the benefits of a strengths-based approach to developing teams and nurturing talent.

  3. Living with HIV and finding peace, from Corporate to Chef to Coach, James’s personal story of overcoming challenges and trauma includes powerful lessons for employee engagement, resilience and motivation. This is a great alternative to more traditional diversity and inclusion guest speakers and content.

Foundations Program – Our Promise

The Foundations Program comes with a clear promise.

If, after completing Foundations, you:

  • do not get something positive from the experience and

  • do not make at least one agreed change identified in your initial 30-minute onboarding call

then you can choose one of two options:

  1. A full refund, minus the cost of the Strengths Profile assessment, or

  2. Continue working with me at no additional cost until you achieve a meaningful breakthrough.

This promise exists because Foundations is designed to create clarity, momentum, and real change — not just conversation.

Coaching Memberships – Flexibility, Not Guarantees

On-going coaching memberships do not come with a performance guarantee.

Instead, they are designed to be low-risk and flexible:

  • You can cancel at any time

  • There are no penalties or lock-ins

You stay because the coaching is useful — not because you’re tied to a contract.

12-Month Upfront Memberships – Pro-Rata Refunds

If you choose to pay for 12 months upfront, you’re entitled to request a pro-rata refund at any time if you decide the experience is not positive for you.

In this case:

  • The number of coaching sessions already attended will be deducted from the original amount paid

  • The remaining balance will be refunded accordingly

Important Notes

  • Coaching is not a done-for-you service. Results depend on your willingness to engage, reflect, and take action.

  • If at any point it becomes clear that the agreed effort and participation are not there, I’ll raise this directly and honestly.

  • If alignment can’t be restored, a refund of the unused portion of the coaching may be issued at the standard coaching rate.

Exclusions

Refunds and guarantees do not apply to the Resume & Career Upgrade Package or the Seven Days of Strengths self-guided program, due to the nature of the work and time already invested.
