“I enrolled in GGSC because of my son, who insisted he had no talent. When people perceive themselves as lacking any special abilities, such as in sports, music, or similar pursuits, they may feel inferior or unimportant in this world. And yet, that is not the case; quite the opposite. Everyone harbors an incredibly vast potential that can be developed. Not just daydreams, but a beautiful and fulfilling life, if one knows his strengths. My son already understands this and is on a great path to progress.”

COO Business Park Slimák, Image Consultant, Gallup Certified Strengths Coach

“After five unforgettable days spent on the GGSC course, I gained the assurance that EACH of us possesses an unprecedented power within, waiting to be unleashed and harnessed purposefully. The course provided know-how, practical exercises, extensive study materials, access to a global network of coaches, guidance from TOP specialists in Slovakia, internationally valid certification, and instilled the belief: “IT IS POSSIBLE.” Indeed, my life, the lives of my clients and business partners, as well as companies and organizations, can attain EXCELLENCE. I cannot help but mention the support of a community of amazing people who not only live out their talents daily but also contribute to the development of others’ talents.”

“After encountering the talent approach, I knew immediately that I wanted to pursue it. What appealed to me the most is its emphasis on the uniqueness of an individual, and its applicability to every area of life. Completing the GGSC course and subsequently obtaining the Gallup Strengths Coach certification felt like a natural progression. I highly recommend the course to anyone who recognizes the value in personal development, self-awareness, and aiding others in discovering their uniqueness. It has opened up new possibilities for self-realization, giving my life profound meaning.”

“Each of us possesses talents; that much we already know. Through this training, it becomes evident that when individuals develop these talents, they experience a demonstrably improved quality of life, heightened work productivity, and their companies achieve greater profitability or philanthropic impact. The training was truly intensive, filled with inspiration, abundant data, research findings, and new tools.”

„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.”

CEO Profesia, s.r.o.

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.

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.

Mgr. Alojz Šutý

The director of the Secondary Medical School in Dolný Kubín

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.
