We use the Clifton Strengths assessment as part of our toolkit for facilitating awareness and emotional intelligence among engineers. Our mission is to facilitate conversations and appreciation of how people are different. To achieve this we all need to know how to value, involve, and even praise others effectively. You can buy your code directly from Gallup.com/Access and share or send us your result. But we can also provide the code and a little additional interpretation! - [Online Clubs and Groups](https://www.katalytik.co.uk/product-category/mastermind/) - As well as hosting free discussion forums Katalytik works to build communities of knowledge and peer learning through masterminds and membership groups. We find these are time efficient and make it easy to share resources. We’ve been organising online coaching groups and discussion forums or 2020. We’ll continue to run our free Live Lounge and Strengths Jam sessions, but want to extend the value on offer. More support, and more resources. Our ambition is to share our knowledge and thinking and help everyone move closer to being their best self. A profession that puts people at the heart of teams and design. ## Product tags - [Coaching](https://www.katalytik.co.uk/product-tag/coaching/) - [Club](https://www.katalytik.co.uk/product-tag/club/) - [CliftonStrengths](https://www.katalytik.co.uk/product-tag/cliftonstrengths/) - [Momenturm](https://www.katalytik.co.uk/product-tag/momenturm/) ## Document Categories - [Reports](https://www.katalytik.co.uk/document-category/reports/) - [Published Papers](https://www.katalytik.co.uk/document-category/published-papers/) - [Worksheets & Checklists](https://www.katalytik.co.uk/document-category/worksheets-checklists/) - [Reviews & Guidance](https://www.katalytik.co.uk/document-category/reviews-guidance/)
