As someone who was in a position where I wasn’t sure what the next step in my career could or should be, I found that completing the Gallup Strengths Test and sitting down to dissect my results really helped me to better understand myself and what kind of paths were open to me. During my time with Alison - someone who I trusted implicitly, was comfortable around, and felt understood me extremely well - I came to the realisation that not only is it okay to take things one step at a time, but also that it's important that you move at your own pace, without setting arbitrary goals that are perhaps dictated by what others around you are doing. Talking my situation and priorities through with her also helped me to better understand exactly what it was I was looking for in a job, and what kind of steps I could take not only when looking for something new, but also to make the most of the role I am currently in. The Gallup Strengths Test really encouraged me to look inside myself and better understand my processes and motivations, and coming out of this process I feel I know myself a lot better than I did before. I also feel a lot more confident in my choices and my ability to take whatever career change I might want to make at my own pace. Lastly, it’s allowed me to consider more ways in which I can grow in my current position. I would certainly encourage anyone grappling with a decision or potentially making a change in their life, or simply someone looking to better understand themselves and hoping to find ways to capitalise on their strengths in their personal and professional lives to get in touch with Alison!
