After a year-long program including 30+ weeks of training, mentor and supervised coaching and over 50 hours of practicing with clients, Julie passed her oral exam and coaching session to receive her certification as a Strengths Strategy coach.

By applying the Strengths Strategy methodology, she can help clients not only learn their Top 5 or all 34 of their talents but also take them light years farther in their strengths development. She will work interdependently with clients so they learn HOW to apply their potential to get the results they desire; to make a positive difference in their performance, satisfaction and service to others and their organization.

From the Strengths Strategy website:

Strengths Strategy will take you through a structured, analytical, measurable, and replicable process which:
—- Changes how individuals interact with each other, and build relationships
—- Creates the fastest path to sustainable, high performance
—- Drives bottom-line business results by increasing customer loyalty.
Our methodologies are founded on a philosophy of data science – driven by 25 years of research, and have been proven by over 5,000 individuals in 28 countries – and our approach contributes to success, leading to statistically significant results.

How’s Your Brain Energy? Productivity?

“This big concept, that brain energy is limited, and that some activities feed it while others deplete it, resonates deeply.”

The Brain Energy/Bandwidth Quiz is a tool our presenter, Ann Holm and her partner, Jan Kise, developed after seeing a trend with one of their major clients–everyone at this company was over-scheduled, running late, eating on the run, feeling overwhelmed, etc. Ann & Jane developed the quiz to help the client begin a rational conversation about how this chronic state of busyness was decreasing their ability to make good decisions, causing tasks to take longer the more hours they put in, and affecting their health. The result when given the quiz and the accompanying information? Immediate changes in behavior. Different goals, different policies and more. Take the quiz and discover how this tool can be applied those over-scheduled people in your world. Maybe, you?!

Our presenter: Ann Holm , MS, ACC, CCC, for 25 years coached brain-injured clients toward cognitive recovery with an emphasis toward optimal functioning in the community. In 2009, she started a coaching practice in order to serve those who want to uncover personal potential and develop their leadership and emotional intelligence using brain-based principles and knowledge of psychological type.
