The framework behind the Masterclass topics
The Masterclass uses Gallup's original framework: four domains that organise the 34 talent themes. Each domain answers its own core question – which makes visible where your top talents have the most impact in a team.
Source: Gallup, The Four Domains of CliftonStrengths| Domain | Core question | Example talents |
|---|---|---|
| Executinggetting things done | How do I turn ideas into results? | Achiever®, Discipline®, Focus® |
| Influencingmoving others | How do I move others? | Communication®, Woo®, Command® |
| Relationship Buildingbuilding bonds | How do I build relationships? | Empathy®, Harmony®, Connectedness® |
| Strategic Thinkingthinking ahead | How do I think and plan? | Strategic®, Ideation®, Analytical® |
Talent themes stay in Gallup's original English wording, because only that wording is official and unambiguous – the explanation in the course is given in your course language.
Citable key statements

Psychological safety in a team also grows from deliberately making different strengths profiles visible and valued.
