Discover Your Talents | Build Your Strengths TM
“Workplace strength — The ability to provide consistent, near-perfect performance in a workplace activity.” – Dave Schleif
Building Strength In Today’s Technical Workforce
As a technically-focused workforce talent development training leader and Gallup certified strengths coach, I help people build workplace performance capacity – by taking a strengths-based approach to workplace learning and technical skills development.
My workforce development services include: technical and non-technical learning and development workshops, e-learning program development, individual and team Gallup certified strengths coaching, workplace training aid creation, and technical workplace knowledge capture.
My learning topics include: leadership and management development, manufacturing production management, industrial sales, technical workplace skills development, and industrial workplace safety.
Helping People Build Technical Workplace Strengths
Getting things done in business requires strong workplace performance in all areas of the business. And the journey leading to increased employee performance begins with talent theme discovery and workplace strengths development.
To help individuals identify their “themes of talent”, I utilize Gallup’s CliftonStrenghts Talent Assessment. This assessment quickly becomes our talent discovery window, offering us a glimpse into an individual’s specific “talent profile”. The assessment also serves as a directional compass, allowing us to choose the correct individual development path moving forward – effectively and efficiently. After talent awareness and understanding, our next steps include knowledge acquisition, and deliberate practice skill building activities.
For team-based strengths coaching and development projects, I utilize the ADDIE model of instructional design to insure efficient project management related to talent awareness and strengths development understanding, knowledge transfer and skills development. During the project’s development phase, I’ll work with your leadership, human resource, sales, engineering, manufacturing, safety, and industrial service work groups with the goal of moving forward with exciting learning and development experiences that will help your people understand their talents and build their strengths. As a final note, interactive workshops provide the ideal foundation for team-based strengths development activities and our strengths-based leadership, management and selling workshops can be tailored to meet your specific business development needs.

The Schleif/Learning blended learning model brings together various learning solutions – traditional classroom, interactive e-learning, focused deliberate practice and workplace job aids. We call this core development process… “learning and doing”.
