About
I am a Gallup-certified Strengths coach, author, and strategic thought partner dedicated to teaching CliftonStrengths as a ‘second language.’ My work is rooted in the belief that when we celebrate differences as advantages, we build more sustainable, resilient communities. As a Fractional Chief Culture Officer, I don't just deliver workshops; I provide training to key members of organizations to provide the long-term strategic oversight needed to move Strengths from a one-time assessment to a living, breathing organizational DNA. My mission is to democratize coaching, moving beyond individual insights toward systemic fluency that empowers leaders to understand exactly how their teams think, decide, and contribute. I believe in accessibility and longevity over one-off moments.

Practical Strengths
Company bio
Practical Strengths L3C is a leadership development firm that serves as a fractional culture partner and bench for purpose-driven organizations, higher-ed institutions, and communities. Our core philosophy is built on the 'Everyday Ways' of Strengths - the belief that talent is only useful when it is applied to real-world challenges like communication, conflict, and career success. Unlike traditional consulting agencies that provide 'point-in-time' solutions, we offer a year-long Catalyst Path. We work alongside our clients to build internal capability, eventually 'working ourselves out of a job' by leaving behind a self-sustaining, strengths-based ecosystem. While we are the culture specialists, we also partner with other fractional providers who are versed in our philosophy and cultural impact. This way, organizations can hire the experts they need without creating unnecessary chaos or disruption in the culture they are intentionally creating.
