The research

Strengths are not just a feel-good conversation.

Gallup has reported positive business outcomes among work groups using strengths-based development. These are research ranges—not a promise of the same results for every team.

10–19%Higher sales
14–29%Higher profit
9–15%More engaged employees
26–72%Lower turnover in high-turnover organizations

Source: Gallup, 2016 — 49,495 business units, about 1.2 million employees, 22 organizations, 7 industries, 45 countries. Ranges as reported by Gallup; results vary by organization.

In their words

Small shifts in perspective can make a difference.

  • “If you’re serious about unlocking more, this Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths coach is the real deal. Ali didn’t just walk me through my CliftonStrengths results — he turned them into a powerful mirror that revealed exactly how I’m wired to win. In just one session, I gained clarity and strategic direction that would have taken months to piece together on my own. If you want confidence, momentum, and a strengths-based advantage that actually translates into results, Ali is THE best!”

Before you book

Questions, answered.

How does pay-after work for leader coaching?

The introductory session is $100 for 60 minutes. You pay after the session, and only if you feel it was valuable. Confirm the exact payment and cancellation terms before booking.

What does team coaching cost?

Team pricing is customized based on group size, assessment requirements, and scope. Assessment costs are passed through at cost. A short conversation helps establish a quote.

How much time does my team need?

The live session is two hours. The proposed format also includes light online preparation and a follow-up behavior check two to three weeks later.

How do we know whether it worked?

We agree on a desired outcome and a baseline, then revisit the target behaviors after the session. The follow-up shows what participants report or demonstrate applying; it should not be confused with proof of business impact unless that is measured separately.

Do I need CliftonStrengths results already?

No prior results are required if an assessment is included in the agreed engagement. Assessment costs and arrangements should be confirmed before the session.

Can you train a larger group or leadership cohort?

Yes. Workshops and cohort programs can be scoped around the audience, business need, delivery format, and desired follow-through.
