about me, about my work…

…““Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” – Henry Ford

Using CliftonStrengths® (formerly known as StrengthsFinder) as the foundation, I work with teams and organizations looking to create energized and effective workplaces and find positive and healthy ways of working with one another. You spend much of your waking day with your co-workers and it would be great to understand why this person loves to dive into the details and why that person sees all the obstacles that need to be overcome, etc.., etc... All those little annoying or endearing quirks of your peers and direct reports are the ones that likely point to their talents and the strengths they bring to the table.

Coming from the perspective of strengths gives you a better idea of the talents you each have and more importantly, how all of these talents work together to create the results you are all aiming for. This isn’t another opportunity to label - or mislabel, but instead a way to really leverage those ways of working that can really make a difference in how excited you are about coming to work while also improving the chance to achieve the results you want to achieve. When every square peg is truly in a square hole, you can bet things will run more smoothly. And be just a bit more fun!

When I am not facilitating team workshops, I am working 1:1 with those who want to take the learning to the next level. Self-awareness is the first step to raising or enhancing your performance and you get to focus on you, for a change! If you want to learn about your Top Strengths, contact me for an assessment and to book your Strengths debrief.

I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), a Co-Active Certified Professional Coach, (CPCC), have many years as a Chartered Professional in Human Resources (now retired), supplemented with a Masters of Arts in Leadership. I also have some specific coaching certifications, including being a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, as well as holding a few other assessment certifications like the EQi, MBTI, and more. I have worked in human performance and development for all of my career, the last 15 years focused on personal coaching 1:1 and in facilitating team performance. I would love to help you and your team reach your goals.  

Book your team facilitation or your 1:1 CliftonStrengths coaching sessions here.

And remember… 

“A group becomes a team when each member is sure enough of himself and his contribution to praise the skill of the others.” – Norman Shidle
