Knowing Your Strengths Is Fundamental To Your Growth

When you know how you're gifted it lays a solid foundation for your success.

Fundamentals are vital to coaching individuals in sports – and in business.

  • Essential skills
  • Having awareness
  • Having humility
  • Acting courageously
  • Being confident
  • Working within your strengths


These fundamentals separate the great ones from the mediocre ones.

StrengthsFinder is where I typically start with all coaching clients. It creates breakthroughs in perspectives that are otherwise missed.

Not only for yourself, but for how you perceive others.

StrengthsFinder improves:

  • how you relate to others
  • how you communicate
  • how you organize work groups
  • how you approach challenges
  • how you relate to shifts and changes (such as 'social distancing')

StrengthsFinder initiates conversations that need to happen, but don't happen naturally.

When you work within your Strengths, you are much more powerful, productive and effective.
