Strengths-based development

We help teams and individuals reach their full potential by using a strengths-based development approach to coaching and team workshops.

Using the CliftonStrengths® assessment as a guide, we’ll help your team members:

  • uncover their natural talents

  • learn strategies to apply their strengths

  • understand each other’s unique strengths

  • discover how partnerships and collaboration can be harnessed for shared success and to overcome weaknesses.

CliftonStrengths® gives your team a common language they can use to better communicate and understand each other. It also helps match people to work that fits their strengths and talents, fueling greater performance and job satisfaction.

This strengths-based approach also helps managers draw on their unique talents to better inspire, develop and lead their teams.​

We design tailored team development workshops based on your needs — from orientations and team-building days to strategy planning and professional development sessions.

We’re based in Sydney but look after teams across Australia, including Canberra, Wollongong, Newcastle, Melbourne and Brisbane.

About your facilitator

I love helping people thrive and enabling teams to succeed together. I truly believe that everyone is uniquely strong and am passionate about helping people realise their potential through developing their strengths.

Before coaching and consulting I ran large, high-performing communication teams in the Higher Education sector. The part I loved most was coaching my team members and running engaging workshops that would develop them and strengthen their teamwork.

I've lived the reality of being a manager with too much on your plate and not enough time to manage my team. Being introduced to CliftonStrengths and using it to get the best out of my team was a life-changing moment for me. Using strengths-based development in the team made everything easier and everyone happier (including myself).

I'm authentic, a great storyteller and love to live life surrounded by talented people.

Since 2022 I've helped over 450 clients discover and harness their talents, harnessing some of my top CliftonStrengths (competition, relator, communication, empathy, woo, command) to deliver engaging, meaningful and valuable workshops.

As a Gallup® Certified Strengths Coach I’m here to help you discover what makes you and your team members exceptional so that you can start thriving and fulfilling your potential together.

  • It was a truly inspiring day and I learnt so much about myself as well as others. Your incredibly detailed and high quality prep was amazing and your facilitation of us as a group was so expert.

  • Georgia ran an amazing Clifton Strengths session with our team. Everything from the pre-session organisation to her energy on the day was perfect. I've done these training sessions before but I've never experienced such an engaged, knowledgeable, creative, and genuinely invested facilitator. I could not speak more highly of Georgia and her team.

They've helped us be more effective individuals, better team leaders and most importantly strong leaders within a large complex organisation.
