CliftonStrengths®

Our approach to talent development is based on research of Donald O. Clifton, the founder of Gallup®, who is also referred to as the father of strength-based psychology and the grandfather of positive psychology. Based on 40 years of research, he came to a conclusion that the key for personal growth is not the effort to correct the weaknesses of an individual, but, conversely, the development of their strengths. He identified 34 themes that make up a person’s personality and he created an assessment questionnaire – CliftonStrengths® – which can be used to uncover the unique combination of 34 CliftonStrengths® for each individual.

„The decision of the HR department to increase the potential of their employees by developing their talents through the Gallup® method was one of the best decisions in the area of education. I took advantage of this possibility myself. Jozef has explained to me how beneficial it is to know one’s talents and to work with them.”

„The decision of the HR department to increase the potential of their employees by developing their talents through the Gallup® method was one of the best decisions in the area of education. I took advantage of this possibility myself. Jozef has explained to me how beneficial it is to know one’s talents and to work with them. He showed me how to naturally develop one‘s potential. As the development of people I work with is important for me, we have had a few team workshops as well. These have helped us to understand the uniqueness of the team members, to develop a friendly working atmosphere and to increase the total performance of teams in a very natural and positive way.“

When cooperating with Livia, I had two options: to wait what was going to happen and perceive her positive energy that influenced the whole team or to join in and have the chance to create options. At the end of the day, both options are right and you have a great feeling of a job well done, which makes sense to both parties.

When cooperating with Livia, I had two options: to wait what was going to happen and perceive her positive energy that influenced the whole team or to join in and have the chance to create options. At the end of the day, both options are right and you have a great feeling of a job well done, which makes sense to both parties. Her opennes, sincerity and positive approach are extremely appreciated nowadays. When dealing with developmental programs, there is no obstacle that would hinder their execution or sufficient preparation. In her cooperation, she uses work with talents, which makes things meaningful – she speaks your language or the langauge of a specific target group. Her energy during joint projects can not be overlooked and gets you or your team into the right speed.

I have known Livia for years, however, our cooperation started after an accidental meeting. Then, she introduced me to an interesting method of people diagnostics. I thought it was remarkable and we used it right away at a department to lift up a sleepy team spirit.

I have known Livia for years, however, our cooperation started after an accidental meeting. Then, she introduced me to an interesting method of people diagnostics. I thought it was remarkable and we used it right away at a department to lift up a sleepy team spirit. It was not until later that she offered me the Gallup method which I immediately liked and we have been applying it with smaller teams since. What is most interesting is the self-knowledge that can assure a person of their strengths, as well as surprise them. There are also follow-up team meetings where individuals have the chance to understand the differences of others. Livia can talk about the Gallup method in a captivating way, she can explain it and motivate people to cooperate. Her procedures are always custom-made for the specific team. I believe she will focus my colleagues to primarily understand their other colleagues that they cooperate with. Because team work is important to achieve goals.

Cooperation with Jozef Kokoška started four years ago, when he became one of the key lecturers of the Academy of School Directors. We have gradually expanded our cooperation and added to the participants of the Academy the development of their talents using the Gallup® method on an individual and group basis. Taking into account the values of Profesia, we have also started to map talents in the company and we are working with Jozef’s team on the growth of our employees. For me as a leader, it is important to offer the opportunity to develop our people and, at the same time, to work on it.

Gallup® tests and subsequent talent mentoring helped our organization not only to get to know each other better as individuals, but also brought us good movement as a team. Our sessions together have become an excellent teambuilding, but, most importantly, they have shown us why some people in our team clash with each other, why some of them naturally cooperate better with each other, but also why some of the things are not yet finished.

Our sessions together have become an excellent teambuilding, but, most importantly, they have shown us why some people in our team clash with each other, why some of them naturally cooperate better with each other, but also why some of the things are not yet finished. Based on the knowledge of these facts, we have changed some of the team members’ tasks or job assignments. Personally, I think that talent accompaniment with Jozef Kokoška helped us to improve the atmosphere in the team. We are more aware of our differences, not in terms of discrepancy, but of mutual enrichment and complementarity in the team. Therefore, we want to develop the talent approach in our organization and continue in further individual and team meetings.

The Gallup® test was a very useful tool for us to discover our strengths, talents and gifts. As we wanted to work with its results more, it was very beneficial to consult them with an expert in the field. Mr. Kokoška was the ideal choice. The pleasant, attentive and friendly attitude caused my husband, with whom I took the test, and I to immediately build trust, which was very helpful for working with the test results.

It is very apparent that Mr. Kokoška is really an expert in this area and doesn´t do it only as a job, but as his mission. Discussions with him were very pleasant because we felt accepted, understood and we found out that your qualities are gifts when you work with them in the place and in a way that will benefit the best for you and the whole society. We certainly do not regret this choice, on the contrary, after passing the Gallup® test under the guidance of Mr. Kokoška we recommend it everywhere we go.

Thanks to the Gallup® test and mentoring with the professional Jozef, I discovered a completely new and especially natural way of using my potential, which was given to me as my DNA, and those are my natural talents. The naming of talents, their acceptance and acting in accordance with them helps me in my work and family life to be a bearer of the values of peace, joy, love and fulfilment of the purpose and mission of life.

So far, I have understood my personal development as finding, studying and copying effective and proven methods and strategies used by successful public figures. But in practice, my results were poor. I discovered the Gallup® test method, which brought me the light of hope and knowledge that I should develop above all what is natural to me, what I am good at and what naturally fulfils me. But I couldn't properly name and understand it. Only thanks to the Gallup® test and mentoring with the professional Jozef, I discovered a completely new and especially natural way of using my potential, which was given to me as my DNA, and those are my natural talents. The naming of talents, their acceptance and acting in accordance with them helps me in my work and family life to be a bearer of the values of peace, joy, love and fulfilment of the purpose and mission of life. Since the first meeting, Jozef has moved me with his positivity, commitment, expertise and pragmatism of introducing significant changes in schools. He brought even more energy, knowledge and creativity to my ideas of reforming school management, which result from his rich international experience. Talents or gifts that are unique for each of us, can also bring to your life, as well as to mine, harmony, knowledge and efficiency in solving life situations from a position that is natural for us. Thank you for allowing me to realize my full potential and be useful to anyone close to me.
