Partner Coaching

Humans are made for collaborating

Let’s use Complementary Strengths of each partner for a stronger team

Partner Coaching – This is a great option for personal or professional partners. Partners are coached in the Top 5 themes, each taking a turn at recognizing his/her signature themes while the other listens and comments on the partner’s theme in action. Intrinsic needs and motivations of each strength are introduced. This is two sessions of 2.5 hours, designed for partners to discover both themselves and their partner, with each one utilizing a session discovering his/her signature themes while receiving feedback from his/her partner. Complementary themes are discussed for greater understanding and development as a team. 

Power of 2 Coaching – Personal or professional partners who have completed the Top Five Partner Coaching are then coached in the Full 34. Utilizing the Full 34 Themes of Talent the coach will assist the individual in recognizing her signature themes, understanding her  supportive themes and identifying her non-conforming themes and if they are blind spots or weaknesses and how to utilize personal strengths, or others (particularly a partner) to minimize. This second session group continues on with the top themes to determine where the individual determines is the break between signature themes (naturally occurring), supportive themes (drawn on situationally) and the non-conforming themes (ones with which the individual does not relate) to complete the remainder of the 34 themes. Eight elements of a powerful partnership are discussed for greater understanding and development as a team.
