ABOUT ELEVATE STRENGTHS
I help leaders and teams work better together — with clarity, trust, and shared strengths.
I founded Elevate Strengths to help teams break silos, strengthen collaboration, and get work moving faster — not through another training session, but through a strengths-based approach grounded in Gallup research, lived team experience, and practical tools people can use every day.
Since 2000, I’ve helped hundreds of leaders and their teams understand how talent differences drive — or stall — collaboration. When people know their talents, claim their strengths, and have simple rules for working with each other, everything moves better: decisions, handoffs, problem-solving, and execution.
How I think about strengths at work
For me, this work has never been about another “nice” team event. It’s about helping people do what they do best every day — in ways that improve both performance and quality of life. When teams understand talent differences, aim those talents at real work, and build the right partnerships, collaboration gets easier and results get stronger.
A simple, strengths-based path for teams
Discover talents- ‘Name it’
We help people see their natural patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving through CliftonStrengths®. Teams gain a shared, evidence-based language for how they show up at work — without boxing anyone in.
Claim strengths- ‘Claim it’
Next, we connect talents to real work. People identify the activities they consistently excel at, the value they bring to the team, and how to use their strengths more intentionally in the day-to-day.
Develop and partner- ‘Aim it’
Finally, teams learn how to develop their strengths and pair talents and strengths so work moves faster. We identify where collaboration improves decisions or handoffs and set simple partnership rules that reduce friction and increase execution speed.
