Kia ora, I'm Jess. As a Strengths Coach, I equip and inspire people to use their strengths to THRIVE.

CliftonStrengths is a coaching tool I use to help individuals, partnerships and teams discover their natural talents, define their core values and determine their priorities. Using intentional questions and a proven coaching process, I will lead you to find more balance and meaning in your life and work. Become the expert of your strengths and THRIVE personally and professionally!

I've done plenty of one-to-one online coaching, and plenty of team coaching face-to-face, but today was my first online team coaching session with an awesome national organisation who work remotely!

We explored the "Four Domains" together and how we all need to get things done (Executing), get others on board (Influence), think and process information (Strategic Thinking) and build relationships. How we do that varies and is unique to all of us!

I used some Duplo to show how whilst we all sit comfortably in one or two of these domains, with a Strengths Mindset we can step into other domains of leading when it is necessary. When the walls are low (and we are not putting each other in boxes!) we can bend and flex our strengths to lead in the way that is required of us. We can also see what our team mates are up to, how they are using their strengths to help our team reach our goals/full potential and lean into them when necessary!

It makes sense to have a Strengths Mindset!

What a privilege to share my Strengths Workshop with a group of young people on the Rangitahi Horizons Camp this week!
They were engaged and excited!

This week I did an Introduction to Strengths Workshop with a local business wanting to invest in their employees personal and professional development. It was encouraging and inspiring to hear the managers talk about the importance of investing in their people, not just so they are more productive and effective in their work but because they want to see their employees thriving in their personal lives too! I couldn't agree more🥰

Likewise, Gallup's research says that people who use their natural talents are 6x more engaged and productive at work and 3x more likely than others to have an excellent quality of life. It just makes sense to develop your strengths!

Get in touch with me if you are are leading a team of people, whether they be employees or volunteers, and want to invest in their strengths!

Last week, I had the privilege of facilitating a Strengths Workshop with a local Mums & Bubs group. I was given this BEAUTIFUL kete as a gift of appreciation. Isn’t it just soooo beautiful!? It was handmade by a local weaver wondering how to involve her passion for weaving into her new work with local mothers. It serves as a reminder to me that within each of us are gifts and natural talents that we can bring as an offering to others. That what you have in your kete and what I have in mine is important to share. It is through this collaboration of giving what we have that we will thrive.

“Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi.”
“With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive.”

WE ARE ALL UNIQUE!

GALLUP (The creator of CliftonStrengths) says that the chances of another person having the same Top 5 Themes in any order as you is 1: 278,000. Impressive! But even more impressive is that the chances of another person having the same Top 5 Themes in the same order are 1: 33.3 million! We are not cookie cutter humans!
If this fascinates you, come along to my Strengths Workshop to find out more about your uniqueness!

As I delivered rocks yesterday along the Set Free Dunes trail I was reminded how AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL our coastline is! It was quite simply breath-taking walking the trail (with toddler and dog in tow while pushing a buggy with 1 year old and about 60 painted rocks!).

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, get out there and enjoy the views while rock hunting!

is back! I have hidden painted rocks along the Set Free Dunes trail between the Pakowhai ki Otutaopuku bridge and Hikuwai Beach in Opotiki.

Your mission? Find the letters S T R E N G T H S and send a photo of it to me! You will go in the draw to win a 2 hour Whanau Strengths Coaching session for your family (designed for families with kids aged 3+!)
