Top 5 Clifton Strengths

How They Benefit You When We Work Together

Strategic

Evaluating alternatives to select the best path forward.   All of life is a series of strategic decisions from designing a marketing mix to deciding what’s for dinner. I help clients identify options and work through decisions.

R

Achiever

Lists and organization are at the heart of how I get things done.  When working with me, you can expect that I will have a structured approach, organize the work to be done, and keep detailed track of plans.

Individualization

I believe that no two individuals, teams, or companies are alike. Strategies and ideas that work for others may not work for you. Techniques and ideas are uniquely tailored to your situation and goals.

Maximizer

I start with something good and enjoy finding ways to make it great. You are already awesome. I help determine the steps to take to close the gap between the current state and the vision you aspire to achieve.

Input

I read, listen to podcasts, attend webinars, and “collect” lots of information and ideas on a diverse set of topics. This enables me to have a toolbox full of resources that can address your current situation or challenge.

Taking a Breath

Sometimes too many things you want to do show up at the same time. Professional opportunities. Social invites. Family events. We want to say, “Yes. Yes. Yes!” Yet, if we do, deep down we know we will end up exhausted. Unable to do our best work. Enjoy the moments with...

Strategy is the How

Strategy is the How

We've been taught that strategy answers "what" and execution answers "how." But I think we've got it backwards. Strategy isn't about what you'll do. It's about how you'll win. The Gap We Create When we treat strategy as the "what," we end up with aspirations dressed...

Breaking Down a Strategy

Sometimes the thought of strategy work can be daunting. You haven’t created a strategy. You haven’t held a strategy role with a strategy title. You don’t consider yourself a strategic thinker. In fact, maybe that’s a label you don’t aspire to. Yet, we all work on...

“Discussing how other team members perceive and react to my strengths was helpful.  It’s important to have a strong sense of how you show up to the people you interact with, but I think having another person to help you unpack what is/isn’t working about your presence on teams essential.”
