I help leaders and teams turn natural talent into deliberate strength. Through CliftonStrengths coaching and Deep Democracy facilitation, we build the trust that great performance is actually based on.
Most teams try to add trust at the end — after the strategy, the structure, the OKRs. But trust isn't a finishing touch. It's the foundation. When people understand their own talents and genuinely see each other's, trust stops being a slogan and becomes the way they work.
That's the work I do at Trust Based Solutions: helping individuals name their natural strengths, and helping teams build a shared language strong enough to hold honest conversations, healthy conflict, and real performance.
A guided journey through your CliftonStrengths profile — turning raw talent into deliberate, repeatable performance.
My core work: helping C-level teams bond and succeed as one unit. I step in as a thinking partner for founders and CEOs on team development and company culture.
Some of the truest team moments happen on a two-day hike or a well-designed workation — where status stays in the city and people meet each other for real.
Energising, evidence-based talks and workshops on strengths and human-centred teams — plus ongoing leader communities like Vadovų Savaitgalis and the What's Next series.
A free intro conversation to understand your goals, your team and your moment.
Assessment, debrief and design — shaped around your context, not a generic deck.
Habits, language and rituals so the work lives on long after our last session.
CliftonStrengths sorts the way you naturally think, feel and behave into 34 themes across four domains of team contribution.
People strong in Executing themes know how to make things happen. When you need someone to implement a solution, these are the people who will work tirelessly to get it done.
Those strong in Influencing themes know how to take charge, speak up and make sure the team is heard. They help the group reach a far wider audience.
Relationship Building themes are the glue that holds a team together. Without these strengths, a team is simply a group of individuals; with them, it becomes something far greater.
Strategic Thinking themes help teams absorb and analyse information so that better decisions can be made. They keep everyone focused on what could be.
A few of the founders and CEOs I've had the privilege to coach — and who have openly shared how strengths shape the way they lead.
"Two years after our strengths workshop, Paulius still sends me snapshots of his team's Strengths grid during strategy sessions. Sharp, always building something new — and caring deeply for the people he works with."
"Genuinely curious about his people and how they shape culture through local projects and spaces. Vytis leads with Individualization and Strategic — and openly shares how he puts his strengths into action every day."
"If you ever wondered what talents a truly global mindset looks like — here it is. Future-driven, treating the whole world as a playground for new business, from Lithuania to Nigeria, Ghana, Indonesia and Vietnam."
"One of those founders who stands out for innovation and the trust he gives his team — leading by inspiration, not command and control. He shared with me how his CliftonStrengths shape the way he leads and lives."
Short, practical reflections from the work — on building strengths-based cultures, leading without performing, and the conversations teams avoid.
Two of my favourite things — trust and strengths — belong together. Leading with Influencing, I build trust through shared ambition and energy. Yours might look completely different. That's the point.
The brilliant jerk tops the leaderboard and leaves a trail of resentment behind. People stop speaking up, innovation slows, trust erodes. Often I'm called in to 'build trust' — when the real work is a decision the manager already knows.
A great first call with a sales rep. Then the manager joined the follow-up — and within five minutes the rep tensed, the flow disappeared and trust quietly broke. Presence isn't always help.
The teams I work with agree to openly share their CliftonStrengths with each other. It lets people use their talents intentionally — and meet each other's needs and motivators on purpose, every day.
Prompt your strengths into an AI and ask what kind of mentorship you'd enjoy, what keeps you engaged, and where your talents might trip you up. Your fastest growth is hidden in the talents you already bring.
One leader told me staff assessments after a hike are 90% accurate — sharper than any bought tool. In the woods, with a shared goal and a map, we're far truer than in our 'suited-up' selves.
Whether it's coaching for yourself, a workshop for your team, or a keynote for your event — tell me a little about it. The first conversation is always free, and never a hard sell.
