Case Study 01: CliftonStrengths Leadership Workshop for Senior Management
Organisation: Pico Art International | MNC
Engagement Type: CliftonStrengths Leadership Workshop
Participants: 14 Senior Leaders
Team Scope: Global team with leaders from Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and Dubai
Format: Half Day Interactive, Fully Facilitated workshop, 3 hours
Facilitated by: Victor Seet, ICF PCC | Gallup Gold Certified CliftonStrengths and Newfield Certified Ontological Coach
The Challenge:
Pico Art International is one of Asia's leading experiential design and events companies. With a senior leadership team spread across multiple regions, the Group CEO wanted to bring her global leaders into a single room and create something meaningful. This is not just another offsite, but a session with real depth.
The brief from CEO Jean Chia was precise: design and execute a 3-hour session where every senior leader walks away knowing how their unique talents have contributed to their success. Have the leaders validate and appreciate the varied talents across the team. Facilitate a discussion about the collective team strengths and connect those strengths insights to the business strategies.
For a group this experienced and this senior, that was a significant ask.
The Approach
The preparation took several weeks. Victor analysed the CliftonStrengths data of all 14 leaders, studied the business context, and designed a session that would land with a group accustomed to high standards.
Three priorities shaped the design:
Individual Strengths Articulation - For each leader, Victor prepared to articulate their unique strengths profile in a way that felt specific, personal, and connected to how they actually lead. The goal was not to summarise a report, but to demonstrate insight — speaking to who each leader is, in a way they would recognise and validate.
Collective Team Strengths Map - Beyond individual profiles, Victor identified the collective strengths of the global team: what they were naturally strong at as a unit, where their blind spots lay, and what that meant for the organisation's strategic priorities going forward.
CEO Leadership Platform - The session also gave Jean Chia, Group CEO, a rare platform to articulate her own leadership strengths to her team, connecting her CliftonStrengths profile to the specific business strategies she wanted to drive. This anchored the session in business relevance, not just team development.
What Happened in the Room
The session validated the preparation. As Victor articulated each leader's strengths, the positive energy in the room went up, as different members of the group spontaneously affirmed the insights, despite Victor having no prior personal knowledge of them and what they do. Several leaders noted that this profiling felt more powerful and accurate than other psychometric tools they had used previously.
By the end of the session, multiple senior leaders were asking whether they could bring CliftonStrengths to their own next-tier leadership teams, a strong signal of genuine buy-in from people who rarely endorse anything quickly.
Results
14 global senior leaders aligned around a shared strengths language
Individual strengths articulated and validated across all participants
Collective team strengths and blind spots identified and mapped to business strategy
Spontaneous interest from multiple leaders to extend CliftonStrengths to their own teams
CEO received a platform to connect her leadership identity to organisational direction
What the CEO Said
"If you want to create better teamwork, I highly recommend Victor and his team. I strongly believe that this will help with leadership transformation."
Jean Chia, Group CEO, Pico Art International
Facilitator's Reflection
Three things stood out from this engagement.
First, small details matter enormously when working with senior leaders. They notice everything and size you up as a facilitator right from the start.
Second, strengths data only becomes powerful when it is married to real business and leadership context.
Third, the most effective approach is to show, not tell, to demonstrate insight through evidence rather than simply presenting a framework.
This session reinforced why preparation is the real work. The three hours in the room were the visible tip. The weeks of analysis and design beneath it were what made it land.

Case Study 02: Building a High-Performance Team Through CliftonStrengths and Trust
Organisation: Pico Art International | Commercial Team
Engagement Type: Multi-Session CliftonStrengths Team Coaching and Workshop Series
Format: Three progressive sessions across senior leaders, deputy leaders, and combined team
Ongoing Since: June 2024
The Challenge
In 2024, The Pico Art Commercial Team in Singapore decided to embark on a deeper and more sustained engagement. The ask from the team leader was ambitious: help him transform this team into a high-performance, tightly knit, strengths-based unit, through a deliberate, layered process designed to build genuine trust and lasting collaboration.
The team were facing real tensions because of the pressure and the high speed working enviornment. Like most high-functioning commercial teams, the pressures of performance, differing working styles, and unclear dynamics between leaders and their deputies had created friction beneath the surface. The desire was to clear some of the conflicts and go deeper in trust. The team leader declared that the team is ready to go deep. They just need guidance.
The Approach
The design was a three session arc that moved from individual insight to collective alignment over a period of time.
Session 1 — Senior Leaders: Strengths, Trust, and the Tensions Beneath The first session worked exclusively with the senior leaders. The work went beyond understanding individual strengths profiles. Victor facilitated an honest conversation about trust. Specifically, what type of trust behaviours helped each person connect deeper and collaborate with others and what type of trust behaviours break trust and create the cracks. The session integrated strengths and trust and surfaced why certain tensions existed, naming dynamics that had previously gone unspoken. Bringing these into the open, through the lens of strengths rather than blame, created the conditions for something more honest and more useful than a typical team-building session.
Session 2 — Deputy Leaders: Finding Their Cutting Edge The second session was designed for the next tier of leaders, the deputies who carry significant operational responsibility but often receive less development attention. The session focused on helping them discover and own their individual strengths, their cutting edge in the events industry. The response was immediate. Feedback from participants described feeling uplifted and genuinely grateful for the clarity and recognition the session provided. For many, it was the first time their unique contribution had been articulated so specifically and affirmed so directly.
Session 3 — Bringing the Team Together: Collaboration and Partnership The third session brought both groups into the room together for the first time in this engagement. With senior leaders and deputies now each grounded in their own strengths profiles and trust frameworks, Victor facilitated structured conversations about collaboration and partnership across the two tiers. The shared strengths language, built across the first two sessions, gave the team a common vocabulary for talking about how they work together, what they each bring, and how they can support one another more deliberately.
What Has Emerged
The engagement is ongoing, and the work continues to develop. What is already evident is that a shared strengths language has taken root across the team. Where previously working styles and priorities created friction, the team now has a framework for understanding those differences as complementary rather than conflicting. The team leader's feedback has been direct: the sessions have created more clarity and helped the team work better together. That feedback, from a commercially oriented leader in a results-driven organisation, is the clearest signal that the work is landing.
Results
Senior and deputy leaders aligned through a shared CliftonStrengths language
Trust dynamics surfaced, named, and worked through in a structured facilitated process
Deputy leaders gained clarity on their individual strengths and cutting edge
Cross-tier collaboration conversations facilitated and ongoing
Sustained engagement from June 2024, with the team continuing to develop
A Quote and feedback from one of the leaders:
"I've learnt a lot more about myself and how I need to work with people better, accepting different perspectives and ideas. I genuinely think that the workshop is very insightful to understanding my strengths and blindspots." Gabriel Ng
