Ready to Launch

With my youngest child just graduating from high school I am looking to my next thing. While planning an amazing party for my daughter I was also working on the details of starting my business. I am ready to launch Strengths Connection! Contact me about working with your work group, faith-based organization or family.

CliftonStrengths changed my world by unleashing my talent and allowing me to grow deeper in the areas of my God-given talent. CliftonStrengths has impacted my marriage, my relationships with my emerging adult children, my work roles and my personal and professional goal setting. Consider the opportunity to have these same experiences.

Big Idea Contestant

With nerves in check, I entered the 2021 Big Idea Contest. The first step was to record a 2-minute blurb about the business I was proposing. I utilized some of the work from my Special Project which was the capstone of my Master’s Degree in Youth Development that I completed in May 2021. I was selected to compete at the competition and provided my pitch to a packed house at the Nest, which included family and friends. The judges brought me to the next level which was then voted upon by the audience. I won 2nd place! And, I gained the confidence to being the journey of starting a business doing something that I truly love and see great rewards for those who unleash their strengths. Special thanks to Lisa and Aliese in the UNK Center for Entrepreneurship and Rural Development who were helpful and encouraging throughout the process.

Envision

Basic nuggets about CliftonStrengths were shared with about 70 sophomore and junior students from Buffalo County Schools as part of the Kearney Area Chamber of Commerce ENVISION 2022 on April 20th. What fun it was to share this knowledge with these students who took the assessment as part of being selected to participate in this one day leadership summit.

The session ended with each student putting together word pairs from the Theme Dynamics cards based upon their strengths.

Youth of Buffalo County were encouraged to name, aim, and claim their strengths.
