Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

+ Why Does CoreClarity categorize the talent Themes differently than Gallup?

The CoreClarity Quadrants are based on Gallup’s original categorization of the talents (released in their 2002 book, Follow This Path). Gallup’s original categories are: Relating, Thinking, Striving, and Impacting.

We created new names for the categories to provide a more accurate description of the talents in the category: Connect, Reflect, Energize, and Mobilize. These make up the four quadrants of the CoreClarity Key.

Gallup later introduced new categories, which they refer to as Strengths Domains, in their 2009 book Strengths Based Leadership. They are Relationship Building, Strategic Thinking, Executing, & Influencing. In the process, 12 talents moved into different domains.

In our experience, the original categories are based on how you experience your talents, whereas the new Strengths Domains are more about how others perceive the talents in you. While both perspectives provide great insights, we believe it’s important to first understand how you experience the talents before focusing on how others perceive them in you, which is why we have left them in their original categories.

+ Do you have virtual solutions?

Yes! All of our solutions, whether coaching, workshops, or facilitator certification trainings, are available both virtually or in-person.

+ What's the time commitment for CoreClarity workshops?

Our workshops are designed to be flexible to fit your needs. They can be delivered either in a single session ranging from 4-6 hours. Or over multiple sessions, whether over multiple days or multiple weeks.

You may be thinking 4-6 hours for a workshop sounds like a hefty time commitment! And while it might be, we believe in the depth of our content. Going below the surface leads to lasting change. A flavor of the month offering does nothing but waste your time and money and we never want to do that!

In order to deliver CoreClarity material, you must become a CoreClarity Certified Facilitator. You can become a facilitator in 3 steps:

+ How does CoreClarity foster diversity & inclusion?

The great thing about the CliftonStrengths assessment is that it’s founded on positive strengths-based psychology - focusing on what’s right with people as opposed to what’s wrong with them. Since everyone has a top 5, it means everyone has natural talents that they bring to the table. In other words, everyone gets a seat at the table because they bring value and can contribute to the team.

Using the CoreClarity framework, teams are equipped with a shared language to recognize and appreciate what each person brings to the table as well as begin to apply this knowledge to develop their talents into strengths.

CoreClarity supports diversity and inclusion by first recognizing that no matter who someone is, they have inherent value. Our framework fosters an environment of appreciation for those talent differences as opposed to the differences being what’s “wrong” with people.

With an understanding and application of talent diversity, there is a new space to recognize and appreciate the other differences among the team (race, gender, age, etc) and see how those differences also lead to greater effectiveness for the team as a whole.
