How This Course Came About

In the world of personal development and self-discovery, our journey is often shaped by unplanned encounters and the wisdom shared by those around us. For me, that pivotal moment arrived when my brother-in-law, Barry, introduced me to the powerful framework of Clifton StrengthsFinder. As an Enneagram teacher and content creator, I had long been captivated by the quest to understand human behavior and potential, but this new perspective added a profound layer of insight.

During a visit to my family in Indiana, Barry, a student advisor at a major university, shared how he uses StrengthsFinder to guide his students toward self-discovery and career choices. Witnessing the transformative impact this tool had on his students' lives ignited a spark within me to explore its depths further. And so, my journey into the world of StrengthsFinder began.

As I dived deeper into the framework, I discovered that it encompasses four core categories: Executing, Influencing, Relationship Building, and Strategic Thinking. Each category represents a unique facet of human strengths and offers a blueprint for self-awareness, personal growth, and purposeful living. Inspired by this profound realization, I felt compelled to delve into each category, analyzing and understanding the strengths that lay within.
