Example team of 12. Select a name to find their best partner.
The gap
Not to whoever is wired for it. Energy drains and good people stall.
Two strong people clash and it looks personal. Usually it's two different talents with no shared language.
One playbook for everyone fits almost no one. The best managers coach each person to how they're built.
The cost
Move the sliders to match your team. The math is simple, and it's your numbers.
a year in payroll goes to work your people aren't wired for.
Shift even a third of that time back into their strengths and you recover $114,000 in capacity every year.
People × salary × share of time. Your inputs, not a benchmark.
The method
Every program runs the same 12-week cycle. You see where you started and how far you moved.
Everyone takes CliftonStrengths® 34 and gets a 1:1 debrief. People learn their own wiring first.
A half-day session builds the team map: who leads where, natural partners, real gaps.
Leader coaching and monthly team sessions put strengths to work on roles, decisions and conflict.
The team retakes the Team Strength Index. You get a results report and a plan to keep going.

Ten questions. A score out of 100, the domain your team leads with, its blind spot, and what David would train first.
Your coach
David Leonard is a Gallup-Certified CliftonStrengths® coach, an MBTI® Certified Practitioner and a SHRM-certified HR professional. He works with leaders and teams who want measurable gains in how they collaborate, decide and deliver.
His career began in strength and conditioning, where every program starts with an assessment and ends with a re-test. He brings the same discipline to teams: measure the starting point, train with a plan, and show the change.
Early in his own career, David had no coach or mentor to point out his blind spots. That's why his work is built to leave leaders able to coach themselves long after the engagement ends.
"Mentors are great. Coaches help. But you are the most consistent voice in your own life."
Questions
Most teams take it, read the report and file it away. David's work starts where the report ends: using the results in roles, pairings and meetings. If your people already have their full CliftonStrengths 34 results, they use those.
For the Accelerator, each person spends about 45 minutes on the assessment, 45 minutes in a 1:1, a half-day session and three 90-minute team sessions over 12 weeks.
No. CliftonStrengths measures natural patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, and ranks them. It's for development, and it is never used for hiring, performance ratings or pay decisions.
CliftonStrengths is the core of every program. David is also an MBTI® Certified Practitioner, so where communication style or conflict is the issue, he can add the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® alongside it.
What you say in a 1:1 stays between you and David. Leaders see goals, attendance and the team-level map, which the team builds together.
Both. Programs run virtually by default. Half-day and full-day sessions can be in person.
Every program has a fixed fee scoped to your team. After a 30-minute consult, you get a written price within two business days.
