Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day?
Gallup Strengths
I’ve been speaking the language of Strengths since 2011 when I first took the StrengthsFinder assessment while working at a Fortune 500 company in the Twin Cities. While working on a small accounting team, we had a Strengths Facilitator explain our team results and show how each of our individual Strengths contributed. During a break, she came to me and asked, “Do you feel satisfied with the work you do every day?” My answer was a resounding, “No!” She continued on, “I usually don’t do this, and this isn’t the purpose of Strengths, but, I think, if I were you, I would look for a position that you get to interact with people.” My hands got hot, I felt excited and knew she was right. What was I waiting for?
I made a career change immediately, moving into an entry level recruiting role at a tech company that was making waves with a dream culture and massive growth. Taking that assessment changed the course of my career giving me more awareness, more insight and a better way to represent myself.
A question that is often asked in Strengths work is “do I have the ability to do what I do best every day?” Ever since that first conversation with the Strengths facilitator, I can answer “Yes”.
As a Certified Strengths Communicator, I am able to bring clarity, peace and purpose to others. A sample of the Strengths work I offer includes:
- Strengths Coaching – Diving deeper into the application of your Strengths in your personal and/or professional life. An intimate way to discuss the manifestation of your Strengths and even how to increase understanding during times of change and conflict.
- Team Strengths Engagements – Depending on the needs of your team, I will facilitate a Strengths activity that brings community, camaraderie and understanding to increase productivity and effectiveness across your team.
If you’re interested in working with me to discover a new way feel engaged in your work, to feel understood on your team or to finally make a change to find work that moves you, Work with me. I’d love to help you say you DO get to do what you do best every day!
