StrengthBuilding Partners (SBP) believes that StrengthBuilding can make a difference in your company. StrengthBuilding provides a framework within which a strong team can develop.
A team which: acknowledges each team member’s strengths, develops an Intention (mission) that each team member strives to attain, and holds one another accountable (in a StrengthBuilding manner) to achieve the Intention of the team.
What is StrengthBuilding? StrengthBuilding is about the individual and their relationship with others. StrengthBuilding teaches us about ourselves and about how we interact with others using our strengths. In your business, relationships are key – not just among your employees, but with your customers as well.
A strong team can help support the work of each individual member of that team. Strong individuals working toward a common goal will make a difference in the success of your business.

Relationships, teamwork, solid and StrengthBuilding supervision/management are all intimately tied to a solid and productive business. StrengthBuilding Partners can provide you with the training and coaching necessary to achieve your goals.
StrengthBuilding Training & Coaching:
Introduction to StrengthBuilding®
Introduction to StrengthBuilding® has two layers that encourage and enhance the process of systemic change and growth within a community: Training and Coaching.
Part 1. StrengthBuilding Training
StrengthBuilding Training is based upon the development of a partnership in which the participants take an active and conscious role in the training.
SBP’s staff initiates the partnership as training facilitators with practical experience and knowledge of StrengthBuilding while incorporating it into interactions with others. This initial training is four hours.
Goals for Introduction to StrengthBuilding:
- Participants will learn the basic philosophy of StrengthBuilding.
- Participants will learn techniques for incorporating StrengthBuilding into your business.
Part 2. StrengthBuilding Coaching
Research strongly supports the need for follow–up coaching after training in order to facilitate the incorporation of the information and knowledge into practice. StrengthBuilding Coaching is an integral component of StrengthBuilding.
After the initial 4 hours of Introduction to StrengthBuilding, additional Training and/or Coaching sessions are arranged based upon the needs of your business and staff. It is advised that the first follow – up coaching session is scheduled approximately two weeks post Introduction to StrengthBuilding.
Goals for StrengthBuilding Coaching:
- Participants will learn to consciously use StrengthBuilding in their interactions with colleagues.
- Through their conscious use of StrengthBuilding, participants begin to contribute to the development/enhancement of your business.
