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.

Strengths Profile for Teams

Coaching for Teams

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.

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.
