Balance the Volume

Balancing the Volume is a simple reflection tool designed to help you think about how your CliftonStrengths show up in real life.
Our strengths are at their best when they are used with intention. Sometimes, though, we can underuse a strength and miss the opportunity to bring it forward. Other times, we can overuse a strength and it may get in our way, or become frustrating for the people around us.
To use this resource, start by writing each of your strengths down the left-hand side.
Then reflect on each one through three lenses:
Underdrive: Where could I use this strength more?
Balanced: Where is this strength working well for me and others?
Overdrive: Where might this strength get in my way, or frustrate other people?
This resource is useful for individual reflection, coaching conversations, team development, performance reviews, or simply building more self-awareness around how you work, lead and communicate.
