After graduating with a B.A. and M.A. in Psychology, I had a short stint teaching preschool and elementary.
Then, as many do, I sort of fell into Human Resources. And I’m so glad that’s where I landed!
I loved the work I did in corporate, and I learned so much. But I always felt like something was missing...
Parts of my job I really enjoyed. Other parts of it, not so much.
I found myself pushing and striving instead of thriving.... except when it came to one area:
In 2005, I was privileged to learn about CliftonStrengths® from Chip Anderson - one of the leading researchers and practitioners of the original StrengthsFinder® assessment, along with Donald Clifton.
After one session with Chip, I knew I had to bring Strengths to my organization.
Long story short - I did! And it was magic.
I developed and facilitated manager group trainings on Strengths - helping managers interpret and apply their assessment results to create more engagement and fulfillment in their work and home lives.
This work allowed me to engage my CliftonStrengths® Developer® theme full force, and brought me back to my love for all things psychology and human potential.
After many years of coaching managers on Strengths, I became convinced that knowing your Strengths is the foundation to a life well-lived.
I soon came to realize that coaching is what I want to do all the time! I got certified as a life coach, and as a Gallup Global Strengths Coach.
Now, I combine life and Strengths coaching tools and principles to help high achieving women professionals not just recover from burnout... but to create a life that makes them look forward to getting out of bed.
