Your greatest strengths are also your greatest weaknesses
Most strength analyses only show you half the truth.
They tell you what you’re good at. Congratulations. But they don’t tell you that your greatest strengths can also slow you down.
The #STÄRKENSTÄRKEN analysis is the only strengths analysis that shows you both:
What makes you strong – and where exactly it tips over.

The question is: do you know yours?
What happens when you know your strengths
and their shadows?
-
You stop working on the wrong construction sites.
Instead of fixing weaknesses that aren't weaknesses at all, recognize which of your strengths you need to adjust. - You understand why certain situations trigger you.Conflicts, exhaustion, frustration - much of it has nothing to do with others, but with the shadow side of your strongest strength.
-
You make decisions that really suit you.
Job changes, relationships, career moves - if you know your strengths profile, you make clearer decisions with less friction.

“My #STÄRKENSTÄRKEN journey was a turning point. With the strengths analysis, I recognized my strengths and their downsides (weaknesses) and learned how to use them better in everyday life. This knowledge gave me the courage to embark on a new career path and start a distance learning course on the side – a step that previously seemed unimaginable to me.”

What others say about their strengths analysis
"I cannot and will not allow myself not to deal with my strengths and the associated dark sides - including all the shades of gray.
The fact that there is finally a clearly structured analysis is a rare stroke of luck in an industry full of pseudo-knowledge. The strengths analysis does not provide superficial ego stroking, but a practice-oriented foundation that you can actually work with.
If you have the courage to really look, you will get the tools for real growth. Highly recommended for anyone who is serious.
"Absolutely recommendable! I was exhausted and just spinning my wheels. Then came Maria from Couch Thoughts and this great strengths analysis. The results alone helped me enormously to understand myself better. I am now able to become aware of my own strengths, accept things and find solutions."
"I had no more energy and thought that I couldn't manage the balancing act between career and family. After the really accurate strengths analysis, I have found myself again and now know how to recharge my batteries when my energy levels threaten to drop. It's easy for me to make decisions again and I feel confident and self-assured."
"Although I was already aware of some of my strengths, it was only through the strengths analysis #STÄRKENSTÄRKEN that I was able to gain a holistic understanding of myself. My challenges and weaknesses stem from my strengths. Now I can work on them in a targeted way."
