On a recent Called to Coach: Southeast Asia Edition we spoke
with Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, Roy Lim. Roy is an expert at helping
individuals, managers and teams grow personally and professionally.
Roy’s journey into strengths-based development began when he
stumbled upon a strengths coach’s website. Before he knew it, he had spent five
days in a Gallup strengths course learning how to be a successful strengths coach.
He knew he wanted to find a new means of self-development, and anchoring it to strengths
proved to be the perfect fit.
When helping individuals grow within teams and
organizations, Roy and his colleagues run a three-day workshop in which they
implement team-building exercises. After these activities, Roy facilitates
conversations with the teams, asking them about some of the emotions they felt
during the activities, which strengths they used and how they used them. This
enables individuals to name their strengths, and then claim them in a practical
environment.
Roy says that when coaching for a workgroup or organization,
it’s important to encourage participants to think about how to proactively
apply their strengths away from work. Strengths aren’t solely for professional
application; they can be effectively applied to any situation in life.
To hear more about Roy and his coaching experiences and
expertise, watch the video above.
Join us for Called to Coach: Australia Edition on Tuesday, Dec. 8, at 12 p.m. Sydney (Australia) Time.
Continue the coaching conversation at the Called to
Coach Facebook page. It’s a great way to network with others who
share a passion for strengths!
