Strengths-based Leadership Development

Strengths coaching is a process that encourages you to identify what makes people tick – it helps you to understand why you are like you are. It deepens self-awareness and can benefit you in many ways.

When teams are able to use a common language of strengths, it changes their conversations and helps them self-improve. It creates more positive team dialogue and builds trust. With application and reflection, it can boost overall engagement and performance levels. When we plan workshop and/or sessions, if you have specific goals for your team please let us know.

The trust of our clients who share their personal information with us is something Learning Architects holds in the highest regard. This overview describes how we work to maintain that trust by protecting your information. We also have a full privacy policy here.

We have an online platform called Gallup Access that we use in the course of strengths or engagement work we undertake for you. This is a secure platform that allows you to access your report, and if you are a member of a team you can view other team members’ reports also.

Information you provide us

We also store your information in our secure company database, following our privacy policy. We also use a number of other systems to provide services:

• Gallup Access provides the ability for us to administer CliftonStrengths and team grids, or various surveys (eg. Q12 engagement surveys).
• We keep notes and actions from coaching sessions in our secure coaching platform. These notes are private between the coach and the coachee.

The information gathered through these processes is held in the strictest confidence. We use the information you provide to us to deliver the requested product and/or service.

We allow access to your personal data only to those employees and team members who have a business need to use such data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they must keep it confidential. We also maintain industry-standard measures for ensuring security of passwords and online information.

If you have questions about your information, or the process of strengths coaching, please contact us.

Any coaching session is a private forum. You decide how, whether or if any of this information is shared with other parties (for example, your professional leader or CEO). The privacy of your information is discussed at the onset of all engagements.

All notes are kept in a private area of our coaching platform and are available to the coachee at all times.

We follow the International Coaching Federation Code of Ethics and ethical standards as our guide for this.
