Before my CliftonStrengths journey began, I was an overwhelmed military spouse of 14 years. I loved our service-rooted life but I struggled to find my own identity. I struggled with many of the nuances of my personality that caused me stress or contributed to being overwhelmed. I couldn’t answer the important question of “who am I” without leaning on my roles as wife, mother, military spouse, or corporate professional as my first descriptors. I didn’t have the language for who I was or how I showed up on a team and in my relationships. 

Through my CliftonStrengths journey and subsequent coaching, I learned my dominant strengths were  Restorative™, Relator®, Strategic®, Intellection®, Analytical®. I learned that I lead with Strategic Thinking. I learned how each of my talents worked together to help me succeed, to help me problem solve, and to help me grow. 

Now, I’m clear on who I am and how my talents show up in the world. As a coach, I am a catalyst who is genuine, authentic, credible, and collaborative.  I bring an inquisitiveness about the world and especially about what makes you unique.  I will challenge you to pursue the life you want to create by engaging and interacting with you and by helping you sort those things you love and do well and letting go of those things that drain you. I will also celebrate with you every step of the way.

With 20 years as an Instructional Designer, Corporate Trainer, and Workshop Facilitator, I love helping individuals and teams make the connections that help propel them forward. I serve as a change agent for individual and team awareness and transformation. In doing so, I’m guiding individuals and organizations through Gallup’s strengths methodology so they may understand how strengths show up day-to-day in challenges and successes. Together, our goal is to help you or help your team feel more equipped and more engaged in their lives, their work, and their personal fulfillment.
