StrengthsFinder Services
Gallup Certified CliftonStrengths Coach
Having trained thousands of IT employees in my tenure as a “woman in Tech”, plus the diverse array of clients in my years of consulting, my CliftonStrengths knowledge is deep and my experience with it dates back to 2007. My first Strengths, or StrengthsFinder mentoring certification was in 2011 while working as a corporate trainer, later obtaining my Gallup’s Coach certification in 2015. My Intercultural experience allows me to use the tool in both English and Spanish, connecting and empowering multicultural teams and diverse individuals worldwide.
As a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, I purchase and distribute access codes as needed, administering and supporting clients in their process of taking the Strengths assessment or retrieving their original results. For more on CliftonStrengths, Gallup’s scientific research on excellence, follow this link here.
My Strengths courses are always customized and targeted to specific needs. Some clients look for basic introductory courses, yet others are more advanced in their Strengths journey, needing equally advanced courses to meet their learning goals. Coaching relationships last a number weeks depending on client’s goals with the purpose of going deep into your Strengths aiming them to specific goals. Group coaching is available for up to 3 participants only; 4 or more participants require a course prior to going deeper.
Since 2013 I have trained and coached hundreds of professionals through various leadership development programs, teams from different industries, executives, entrepreneurs, students, teachers, global NGO workers and attorneys to name a few.
Based on the research and science of excellence by Gallup, Strengths is powerful and effective.
