Episode 11 – Charlotte Blair | Strengths-based Coach (Strengths Partners)
In this episode I catch up with Charlotte Blair. An awesome strengths coach who is passionate about strengths and the application of strengths for change management and creating a safe space for people to speak up.
Charlotte’s favourite saying in life is “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you have always imagined” and she tries to live by this every day and believe it has helped her throughout her life and career in both Sales and Learning and Development. Charlotte has a huge passion for Strengths based development, focusing on what’s right with people instead of looking at weakness. She see’s her purpose to help others enjoy life and their career and look for ways every day to be the best they can possibly be. A highly experienced Gallup certified strengths coach, consultant and facilitator with over 20 years proven success managing relationships and developing business in highly complex sales environments.
Charlotte’s Top 5 Strengths are Activator, WOO, Command, Arranger and Positivity. We had such an inspiring chat about how Charlotte applies her strengths in all areas of life from her career, her business partnership, marriage and parenting. Charlotte gives plenty of examples and insights into how she lives her strengths and how they have helped her success and be more of her. We also discuss different mediums for effective coaching (the pros and cons of face to face vs online) and horse riding too!
Key highlights on this episode include:
-
Every single one of the 34 talent themes brings something that is needed to the table
-
Why knowing your full strengths profile (not just top 5) is powerful and leverageable, not just with your profession but also how you show up in your family life too
-
The four needs of followers are trust, hope, compassion and stability – so how can we identify how these show up and leverage them through our leaders’ strengths?
