A note of Covid-19 Alert Levels. Depending on NZ’s Covid-19 Alert Level Status, I am a firm believer in ‘continuing on’ rather than postponing progress on achieving your team’s goals. It’s strengths that pull teams together at times like these. However, if in-person events are cancelled due to restrictions, we will pivot these to go online (in the case of an away day, redesigning the agenda so that it’s fit-for-purpose and we’re not on screens for a whole day!).
{Antonia has made me a better manager and person. Being able to understand my strengths (and weaknesses) and when to lean in to use them for my advantage more, whether for work or personally, has been so beneficial to me and those around me. I would highly recommend working with her and I've mentioned to friends on more than one occasion to at the very least do their Clifton Strengths.

{Antonia's energy and passion for the possibilities for teams that embrace CliftonStrengths is infectious. CliftonStrengths is one of the first frameworks that I've come across that is committed to being based in evidence and continuously improving which made it very attractive to me. I would highly recommend Antonia and CliftonStrengths for any individual or team trying to figure out how they fit, function and fly!

{The strengths-based workshops are incredibly enlightening, validating, affirming, insightful, and so much more. I really enjoyed learning more about myself; how I can add more value to others and different situations, as well as learning about the strengths of others to understand more about how they tick and why. Any effective opportunity to become a better human is always necessary and welcome (for me). Antonia is a fabulous facilitator - her warmth and enthusiasm creates a safe and fun environment to learn and grow. I would recommend this to everyone - and if they are lucky enough to get Antonia as their facilitator, they are certainly in for a treat.

{I think you're an amazing facilitator Antonia, it was probably the best facilitation / workshop I've ever attended. You were really friendly, upbeat, knowledgeable and approachable and helped to create a really nice vibe in the room. It was a great day and one that I think really helped to bring us closer as a team, and it certainly helped me to understand myself a bit better today.

Not only did Antonia ably guide me through a little 'project' that I ended up signing myself up to, she has also equipped me with some helpful tools that I can use in the future. If you are looking to enhance your self-awareness and appreciation of your own unique strengths, I would highly recommend you engage with Antonia!

{I highly recommend Antonia's Virtual Strengths Discovery Workshop. It offers a great introduction to Strengths with interactive activities that really make you think and help embed what you have learnt. I found everything so fascinating and wish the time hadn't passed so fast! The fact that Antonia is also such a lovely, passionate and caring facilitator is an added bonus too. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and look forward to continuing on my strengths journey using the excellent post-course resources Antonia provides. Thank you!
