Resources
As we begin our coaching journey, there are guides along the way that are very helpful. Gallup Strengthfinders is a proven method for learning to identify your strengths and determine the best career path as well as brand and value proposition. I encourage all of my clients to take either the Strengthfinders 2.0 or Strengths Based Leadership (for leaders).
Here are the links for these. In addition, you can bypass the books and take the Strengths assessment directly.
Finally, I provide an assessment to discover the best career options for you. Career Fitter is an effective way to determine what other careers may be out there that would align with your interests and strengths.
All of this work helps to ensure we are meeting your needs to move forward.

In Strengths Based Leadership, #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Rath and renowned leadership consultant Barry Conchie reveal the results of this research. Based on their discoveries, the book identifies three keys to being a more effective leader: knowing your strengths and investing in others’ strengths, getting people with the right strengths on your team, and understanding and meeting the four basic needs of those who look to you for leadership.
