Strengths Discovery
A strengths profile you can coach with.
Your client maps 64 everyday behaviors, discovers their strength roles and brings the results straight into your session - with optional 360° feedback built in.
Coach what gives energy - not what is missing
Two decades of positive-psychology research point the same way: people grow fastest where they are already strong. When a session starts from resources instead of deficits, clients open up sooner, take ownership of their development, and leave with momentum rather than homework.
Energy, not just ability
A strength is something that works well and feels good at the same time. A profile that separates the two helps clients rebuild their days around what recharges them - not just around what gets done.
A shortcut to flow
Knowing their strength roles lets clients deliberately seek out the tasks where concentration comes easily - and notice which duties reliably pull them out of that state.
Sessions that carry further
A shared strengths language outlasts the appointment: clients keep spotting their patterns in everyday life, and every week between sessions becomes material for the next one.
What the Strengths Discovery covers
A complete strengths profile for your client - ready to explore together in your next session.
Visual self-assessment
No hundred-item questionnaire: clients sort everyday behaviors on a simple grid of how much energy something gives and how often they get to use it - done in a single sitting.
Top 5 strength roles
Results arrive as five vivid roles with names people actually remember - not percentile scores - the kind of language clients still use months later.
Strengths radar & landscape
Zoom out from the top five to the whole picture: where your client sits between task focus and people focus, action and reflection, across all sixteen roles.
Four strength categories
The profile separates strengths in active use from dormant ones and flags learned behaviors that quietly cost energy - a ready-made agenda for the debrief.
360° peer feedback
A share link brings in the outside view: people who know your client answer a short survey, and the report lays their perspective next to the self-image.
Shareable PDF report
Everything lands in a clean PDF your client owns - read it before the session, annotate it on the whiteboard, revisit it at the end of the journey.
Strengths coaching made easy
Send the link
One link is all your client needs - nothing to install, no license seats, nothing to configure before they can begin.
Your client maps their strengths
The visual assessment takes about a quarter of an hour, and the strengths profile is on their screen the moment they finish.
The outside view comes in
Colleagues, friends or family answer a short survey through a share link, adding an outside perspective to the self-image - no account required on their side.
You debrief it together
The report gives your next session its structure: you walk through the roles together and decide what the findings mean for the road ahead.
Backed by academic research
Good coaching deserves solid measurement. Researchers in psychological diagnostics at Ruhr University Bochum accompany the development of the model, and every validation round works exclusively with anonymized data.

Master strengths coaching with the Strengths Discovery
The Strengths Discovery is built to be intuitive. Try the self-assessment on yourself, explore your report, and if you know the coaching fundamentals you already have what you need to use it with real clients. Some coaches will want to go deeper, though - so here are three ways to build real mastery.
One-day online certification
In late 2026 we plan to run a one-day workshop to master coaching with the Strengths Discovery. If that sounds interesting, leave your email and we'll be in touch as soon as there's a concrete plan.
