As a CliftonStrengths coach, I would say that, in simple terms, a strengths-based career is one that allows you to do what you do best every day. But as a career consultant, I think it goes further than that.
Donald Clifton, the Educational Psychologist who created the CliftonStrengths® assessment believed that when mission is combined with strengths, it becomes your fuel for achievement.
