"The goal is not a room full of people who learned something. The goal is a room full of people who felt something — and then decided something."
Four hours. One room. One afternoon. No one leaves with just a feeling.
Apply your strengths. In your room. This week.
The Mini Courses teach you. The Masterclass goes deep. This is different — this is what happens when a real group does the work together, in real time, with someone holding the room. The exercises don't work alone. The Mirror Line, the Pressure Test, the Hot Seat, the Commitment Line — every one of them needs other humans in the room. That's why this is the tier where actual change tends to land.
CliftonStrengths® is the foundation of everything we do at StrengthsByDesign™. It's not optional — it's the language the workshop is built on. Each person in the room takes the assessment through Gallup before workshop day (about 30 minutes, ~$25 paid directly to Gallup) and arrives knowing their Top 5 themes. We handle the rest.
Where to take CliftonStrengths® →Open. Teach. Work. Move. Reflect. Decide. The structure is the same every time we run it — that's why it lands.
The 1-in-33-million hook. Why your wiring matters. The four domains and how to spot yours. By the end of the first hour, every person in the room can name what they lead from.
Now we go inside your Top 5. What each theme looks like at its best — and what it costs you when it runs without context. This is where most people first hear words for patterns they've lived with for years.
One signature group exercise — chosen to fit your room. Speed-dating-style refinement, hot-seat affirmation, or partner reflection. The activity is where the framework moves from your head into the room.
One commitment. Said out loud. In front of the people you came with. Not a plan — a decision, with a date attached. That's how this becomes something you actually use, not something you forget by Friday.
Specific exercises and emphasis adapt to your group, your edition (Faith / Leadership / Youth), and your goals. We finalize the agenda with you in advance.
"No one leaves with just a feeling."
Your team, your church, your group walks out using the same words for how each person is wired. The friction that never showed up on the org chart finally has a name. That language stays in the room long after we leave.
Each person leaves with one specific commitment said out loud — not a vague intention, a real decision with a date attached. Said in front of the people they came with, so the room becomes the accountability.
Four domains. Thirty-four themes. One way of seeing your people that you'll use every week — at home, in your ministry, in your meetings. A lens you keep using long after we leave the room.
Same workshop arc. Same exercises. Same outcomes. The language and the references shift to fit the room you're in. Pick the edition that matches your audience — or talk to us about a custom adaptation.
"Psalm 139 is not a comfort scripture. It is a design blueprint."
For: Churches, ministry leaders, faith-based teams, and small group communities.
"You cannot lead what you do not understand — starting with yourself."
For: Executives, managers, founders, and corporate cohorts.
"You are not behind. You are wired differently — and that is your edge."
For: Students, teens, young adults, mentoring programs.
All three editions run the same four-week arc, deliver the same three artifacts, and use the same exercises. The only thing that changes is the door you walk through.
A real room. Moveable chairs. Pens, not pencils.
There's a reason we never put this on Zoom.
"Whatever brought you here — that challenge you've been navigating, that decision you couldn't quite make, that hope you've been holding onto — your strengths were designed for it."
