Thrive - Strengths Coaching

Discover your strengths and thrive in your life and at work

Thrive is a strengths coaching offering to help you explore your unique mix of strengths and skills, unfurl your hidden potential, and understand how you can prevent a feeling of burnout when using your skills.

Strengths are the skills we perform well in, we use frequently and we feel energised and motivated whilst using. When we use our strengths we feel more like our best selves; we’re happier, more confident, feel more engaged and motivated, have higher levels of energy and have greater self-esteem.

When we use our strengths we’re more likely to accomplish our goals and our intentions in life and at work. Overtime our strengths can change due to the environments we are part of and the way we use our strengths, sometimes overplaying or underplaying them, effecting our impact and enjoyment of what we do.

Within this challenging employment market the opportunity to move jobs to grow and develop feels few and far between.

Developing where you are, rather than moving jobs, could feel like the best option for now. Make the most of where you are by understanding and exploring your skills and strengths in more depth and use your new found knowledge to help you develop yourself in a way which feels aligned, sustainable and unique for you.

Thrive is a bespoke coaching programme to support you to deeply explore your strengths. Using the a strengths assessment tool from Cappfinity, alongside a coaching session and three months of support, you’ll gain more clarity about your strengths and your hidden talents, and take action to implement any learnings you discover.

Thrive coaching can support you in your life and your career. Thrive will help you develop yourself in a way which is aligned to your unique strengths profile, your personal rhythms and your aspirations.

How does Thrive coaching work?

I specialise in working with ambitious heart-led individuals who want to unfurl their potential in their life and career.

You might be working within a corporate role, within a BCorp, a not for profit, a small start up and are looking for a way to understand more about your strengths and develop yourself.

You might be a solopreneur, running your own small business with a team around you, a Fractional Leader, or a ‘post achievement’ professional, who no longer has access to corporate learning and development opportunities but is seeking to understand more about how you can continue to develop and grow under your own terms.

Thrive is the perfect strengths coaching offering for you if you want a more holistic approach to understanding your strengths and taking action to develop.

Together we will debrief and explore your strengths report so you can understand your unique skill distribution across your realised strengths, unrealised strengths, learned behaviours and weaknesses. You’ll discover more about the strengths which allow you to do your best work, what’s draining your energy and your hidden talents.

Following your debrief we will coach together to explore what you most want to implement and I’ll support you to create a unique, sustainable, aligned, nature-inspired plan to implement the learnings, take the action and grow in the way which will enable you to unfurl even more of your potential.

I’m a warm, enthusiastic coach who wants to support you to take courageous and sustainable action to grow and develop in your life and work-life.

I understand what it’s like to be ambitious and have used my strengths to help me develop my career and shape my life.

When I was in education I was an academic achiever, thoroughly ambitious and multi-passionate.

I held this essence as part of me throughout my career and decided to create my own version of ambition and accomplishment in life. For me it wasn’t about climbing the ladder to the top but instead creating my own pathway which allowed me to grow across my interest areas and strengths, work on delivering projects, making a positive impact. To this day I want to achieve and enjoy what I’m doing across my many interests and skillsets and now get to bring my expertise and strengths together within Frondescence.

I worked in HR for 19 years, recruiting talent, creating teams, evolving cultures and supporting leaders. I loved my job roles, the teams I was part of and the people I supported. Early on in my professional career I decided to grow my career differently, to widen my skillset, invest in my own professional development outside of work to be a coach and find a way to use my creative strengths and my passion for learning in my work.

I thought I knew a lot about my strengths however in 2023 when I completed a Strengths Profile assessment suddenly my working life, my skills and my energy at work and in life made sense. I discovered my hidden talents which were new to me but made complete sense. These formed a key part of the next phase of my development.

I loved the tool so much I became an Accredited Skills Discovery Practitioner to support my coaching clients to discover more about their strengths using a holistic tool which supports you to understand your performance, the frequency of use of your strengths and the energy you get from using these skills.

"I found the session incredibly useful. It was refreshing to look at my skills in terms of the energy required and how they feel. As a business owner working on my own, I have to take on lots of different tasks and skills, outside my main discipline, but recognising why some things feel draining gives it a new perspective."

Ellie
"The whole experience was really positive and affirming. There weren’t any huge surprises, but quite a few small ones. It’s helped me reflect on things that I consider myself not good at and recognise those that I find hard. Seeing them through this lens has allowed me to be more generous to myself - knowing that I need time to incubate ideas and recognising that as a process rather than seeing myself as taking too long."

Ellie
I really enjoyed our session together and it brought so much depth and understanding of the process, which I couldn’t have done on my own. And having a copy of the report is great to flick through on a hard day as a boost!

Welcome to Thrive call

We’ll start Thrive by connecting on a 20 to 30 minute welcome video call to briefly get together to introduce ourselves properly and to create a plan for your Thrive coaching sessions. Following our call I’ll share an online link for you to complete the skills and strengths assessment, and confirm the dates for your two coaching sessions.

Ahead of our first coaching session together you’ll receive reflective prompts to help you begin to understand and navigate your skills and strengths assessment report. I’ll share some tips on how to prepare for your debrief session so you can make the most of the time we have together.

Strengths debrief coaching session

We’ll meet on a video call for 75 minutes to debrief your strengths and skills report. We’ll review your key results shown in the report and explore what this means for you. You’ll finish the session with a deeper understanding of your skills, strengths and key learnings.
