Talent2Strength (T2S)

Talent2Strength (T2S) is a transformative program designed to help organizations fully harness the unique talents of every team member. Built around Gallup’s renowned CliftonStrengths© assessment, T2S takes it a step further by introducing the COIN model. This innovative approach integrates emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and metacognition to turn raw talent into actionable strengths.

Developed by Adam Seaman, one of the earliest Gallup Certified CliftonStrengths© coaches, T2S embodies Don Clifton’s original vision of creating workplaces where talent is recognized, appreciated, and effectively applied. T2S empowers leaders to guide their teams in aligning individual strengths with organizational goals—resulting in intentional, dynamic, and thriving workplaces.

Purpose

What is the Focus

T2S helps participants discover and understand their unique strengths and equips leaders to create an environment where those strengths contribute meaningfully to team and organizational success. By teaching the COIN model, T2S provides a framework for leaders and team members to develop emotional intelligence and self-awareness, fostering collaboration and driving performance.

Why It Matters

When people understand their individual themes and leaders know how to foster the best fit between individuals and their roles, organizations become places where everyone can thrive. This thriving isn’t limited to individuals; it expands to teams and the entire organization, unlocking greater innovation, productivity, and harmony. A key outcome of T2S is helping teams work better together by understanding and leveraging each person’s unique talents.
