Cultural Transformations

Managing Change with a Strengths-Based Approach

What does a strengths-based organization look like? How can you make StrengthsFinder stick and become embedded in the DNA of your culture? Strengths Now, Inc. is committed to helping you create a strategy to infuse the strengths model throughout your organization. 


Our goal is to partner with you to create a sustainable strengths-based culture far beyond handing out codes or a book.  We offer a 5-phase approach to building a Strengths-Based culture. Managing change with a strengths-based approach can blend two companies to form a unified organization with common goals and provide a unique competitive advantage.  


  1. Strategy and Baseline Measurements: Begin with a leadership strategy meeting to clarify the current state of operations, set meaningful goals, and align on milestones, measures, and timing. ​We conduct a baseline employee engagement assessment using Gallup's Q12, the #1 researched-based employee engagement survey, proven to lead to improved business outcomes, and lead focus groups as necessary to establish our "baseline culture."
  2. Leadership Training and Development: Using our Lead with your Strengths and Engagement for Managers training, cascade training to all leaders, managers, and front-line leaders, equipping them research-based tools and processes to build confidence, practice strengths in their management styles, and effectively lead their teams. ​We provide monthly manager group meetings to share best practices, build camaraderie, and update action plans for success. 
  3. Full-Scale Deployment: Every employee will discover their strengths and put them to use! We offer the CliftonStrengths assessment to all employees and provide an introduction to strengths training. ​We provide courses to create a community of strengths and engagement advocates (change agents). This team provides ongoing expertise and facilitation skills to support leaders in build engagement action plans and lead strengths-based activities on their teams. 
  4. Integration into People Systems and Management Process: Build a strengths-based approach into Hiring, Goal Setting, Development Planning, Performance Management, and Job Changes. Designed to augment or support the existing systems, this phase does not add work to managers' already full plates, but rather, shift the conversations they already have, which leads to improved efficiency and performance. 
  5. Sustainment Plan: With internal experts trained and systems in place, ensure the internal communications, measures and behaviors align. We build frameworks and a strategy to introduce new hires to strengths, routinely measure progress on engagement, and train leaders on strengths based-management, in line with your long term strategic goals. 


Is your organization ready to reach a new level of performance?

"I hired Sara and the Strengths Now team to launch a StrengthsFinder initiative for our campus. This was a large-scale project that spanned students, staff, and faculty. Not only does Strengths Now have an expert understanding of the model, they consistently delivered training that got our community engaged and created buy-in. They were true partners who quickly ascertained our culture, our needs, and what success looked like. Because of Strengths Now, we now have a sustainable strengths movement on our campus.”  

- Dr. Andrew Shepardson, Vice President of Student Affairs, Bentley University 

Employee Engagement

Increase employee engagement with Gallup’s Q12

At Strengths Now, we use Gallup’s Q12 engagement survey to get qualitative data on the current engagement of any team, department, or division. This custom twelve question survey quickly and easily provides a litmus test of employee engagement. 


  • Take the Gallup Q12  Engagement Survey 
  • Schedule an informational meeting for your organization


Strengths Now partners with leaders to understand results and respond to identified challenges or gaps. We use Q12 to find the engagement level of a team when the level is unknown or determine if current initiatives are having an impact.

The Future of Work

Strengths-Based Cultures Are Vital to the Future of Work

Strengths-Based Cultures Are Vital to the Future of Work

As organizations reorganize for speed and agility to stay competitive, authority is becoming less centralized than in the past. Teams constantly form, disband, and reform according to the needs of specific projects and customers. Technology has made it possible to stay coordinated as people become more mobile and their job descriptions are less permanent. Therefore,  employees need a higher level of self-awareness to navigate their careers amid organizational environments that are more fluid than ever before. 


Gallup's research proves that if there is one area of focus with the potential to transform entire organizational cultures to help meet these needs -- and deliver improved business outcomes, too -- it is a strengths-based approach to management. Team members who know each other's strengths more effectively relate to one another, avoiding potential conflicts and boosting group cohesion. Strengths-based development immediately changes their conversations. It creates a more positive dialogue, and it boosts the team's overall engagement and performance. This ultimately leads to a competitive advantage. 


As organizations continue to evolve in response to the ongoing digitization of work, they will require new ways to ensure teamwork, proper communication among employees, and making the best use of each other's skills.

 "Strengths Now has had a transformational impact on our department, the way we view ourselves and each other, and the way we work together to reach our goals. Through both group retreats and leadership workshops, Sara Regan and the team helped us see how our varied themes play out in real life. This model is one I know I will continue to rely on, and revisit, for the rest of my career. I’ve even passed along insights to friends and family members facing workplace challenges."  – Marketing Manager, Health Care
