Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not here to change your mind, I'm here to help you change your mindset. Individuals and organizations, more than ever, have been indoctrinated to believe that the best way to improve is to address their weaknesses. Living life through a deficit mindset makes everything feel like a chore versus a passion. As a speaker and a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, I am uniquely positioned to challenge clients to identify what they do best and to intentionally integrate their talents.

I'm a firm believer that cost should never be a barrier for personal and organizational development. While all programs and services have base costs, I offer discounts for education and non-profit organizations, repeat customer discounts, and am open to create customizable plans that allow you to utilize WCMM services!

Absolutely! While I have developed curriculum for the programs and services that I offer, we will discuss options for customization during pre-program meetings. If there is a topic that you believe you or your organization could benefit utilizing an aspirational mindset for, I would love to discuss how we could work together to address it! 

 No, you do not have to have taken the CliftonStrengths assessment to understand or benefit from my keynote speaking programs. While all of my programs include elements inspired by CliftonStrengths philosophy, I do not use Strengths-based language during the sessions. Instead, I focus on Don Clifton's powerful question: "What would happen if we studied what was right with people instead of what was wrong with them?" This approach allows me to help audiences discover and leverage their inherent strengths and opportunities for personal and professional growth. 

Taking the time to have even one CliftonStrengths Coaching session is a great start and can provide valuable insights into your unique talents. However, continuing to invest in your strengths by meeting with a coach on a regular basis will allow you to better understand how you interact with your strengths every day. Regular sessions provide ongoing support, deeper insights, and continuous growth, helping you to fully leverage your strengths in both personal and professional settings. By investing in a series of coaching sessions, you can maximize your potential and achieve greater success.  answer to this item.

Not at all! While my professional expertise is working with college students and colleagues in higher education, I believe that everyone could benefit from the programs I offer, as well as independent coaching.

Of course! While hosting programs and coaching sessions in-person may be the preferred modality for some, it isn't for all. Virtual programs eliminate the need for travel expenses and can sometimes be more accessible to a larger group of attendees. Because I am a Global Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, my coaching services are available to all, so most coaching sessions take place virtually, unless you are a Grand Rapids metro-area client.
