As a coach and researcher in optimal functioning, I have found that one of the most effective ways to help clients achieve their goals and reach their full potential is through strengths-based interventions. At its core, a strengths-based approach focuses on identifying and leveraging an individual’s unique strengths, rather than focusing on their weaknesses or areas for improvement.

Research supports the effectiveness of this approach. In a meta-analytic review of 29 studies, Bates-Krakoff and collaborators (2022) found that strengths-based interventions had a significant impact on behavioural outcomes such as goal attainment and work performance. A similar review also found that they can lead to significant increases in positive affect, life satisfaction and happiness (Schutte & Malouff, 2019). These results suggest that when individuals focus on their strengths, they experience positive changes across multiple areas of their lives.

Strengths-based interventions involve a variety of techniques, such as identifying and utilizing character strengths, setting strengths-based goals, and reframing challenges in terms of strengths. As a coach in optimal functioning, I work with my clients to help them identify and utilize their unique strengths to achieve their goals and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

If you’re interested in unlocking your potential through strengths-based interventions, I invite you to book an exploratory session with me. Together, we can explore your strengths and develop a plan to leverage them for optimal success and fulfillment.

Optimal Functioning vs Life Coaching: Embracing the Science of Thriving

Life coaching encompasses a wide range of approaches and methodologies which often lack scientific grounding, meaning its quality and effectiveness can vary significantly. In contrast, optimal functioning coaching draws from the best of coaching-related sciences, meaning it uses strategies and techniques that have been proven effective in promoting peak performance, personal growth and well-being.

At the core of optimal functioning coaching is positive psychology, providing valuable insights into the factors that enable individuals to thrive and lead fulfilling lives. This includes evidence-based practices such as cultivating positive emotions, leveraging strengths, nurturing meaningful relationships, setting purposeful goals, and embracing gratitude and mindfulness.

As an optimal functioning coach, I also integrate principles from coaching psychology and human performance improvement to address the unique needs and aspirations of each client. By leveraging scientific evidence, my aim is to empower clients with the knowledge and tools to function at their best and realize their optimal life.
