Most people check the weather before deciding what to wear. F.O.C.U.S. helps you check your day — and your life — to discover which strengths you have, which you need, and how to close the gap with intention.
What Is F.O.C.U.S.?
When you wake up in the morning, you might check the weather before deciding what to wear. You match your choices to the conditions of the day. F.O.C.U.S. brings that same intentionality to your strengths.
Most people have a rough sense of their strengths — but fewer have asked which strengths their life actually demands right now. The gap between what you have and what you need is where purposeful growth lives.
F.O.C.U.S. maps six foundational strengths, asks you to rate both sides, and then shows you where the discrepancy is greatest — and what to do about it.
What You Will Discover
The Six Strengths
These six factors emerged from factor analysis of how people describe themselves at their best — each one a distinct constellation of qualities that shows up together in real lives.
How It Works
For each of the six strengths, rate how strongly you currently possess it — from Very Limited to Exceptional. Be honest; this isn't about what you wish you had.
Now rate how much each strength is actually needed in your life and work right now — from Not Needed to Essential. Think about what this season of life is demanding of you.
One question about how well your actions align with your sense of purpose, and one about your generation — to personalize the feedback.
A dual-line radar chart, a ranked gap analysis, and personalized feedback that takes into account everything you have shared — including where the biggest mismatches are and what to do about them.
F.O.C.U.S. Assessment
You will rate each strength twice — first for what you have, then for what you need. The gap between the two is where purposeful growth lives.
