Your Strengths Will Lead You to Success

Six years ago, I opened Leaf Consulting, LLC.  I knew “Why“ I wanted this to be my next journey. 

I wanted to partner with people and teams. I wanted to give them tools to be energized every day and engaged with what they are doing and who they are. I wanted to provide opportunities for them to understand themselves.  I wanted to be the catalyst for people to embrace their own strengths, understand how they are hard-wired, and develop personal operating systems that were uniquely theirs.  

I wasn’t sure how to go about this, but I knew I could. My strengths gave me my tools, and I trusted my ability to do this, #selfassurance.

I thought about what I knew and what I didn’t know and developed a few roadmaps, #strategic.

I jumped in and was comfortable building as I went, #activator.

Over the past six years my skills and abilities as a coach have evolved.  I set goals for myself, #achiever and was not afraid to change things up as needed, #arranger.

I have joined with so many colleagues who I now call friends, #relator.

My word has stayed strong as my integrity is paramount, #responsibility.  

I can give examples of how I impact others every day. They are all motivated by the very same “Why” to build Leaf Consulting, LLC six years ago. Thanks to so many of you for your trust. I will continue to provide what you need to grow, and I will continue with my own growth as an individual and as a company to ensure that I show up ready for you, #maximizer.

Think about a goal you have achieved - something you’re proud that you accomplished. It doesn’t have to be monumental or impressive to anyone but you. Get a specific goal in mind.

Now think about the process you followed to reach that goal. What was one thing, one detail, that enabled your success?

Be specific. What part of your process do you think you would notice if you failed to repeat it the next time you pursue a goal? Maybe it's a partnership, an expectation, a way of working, a habit, a ritual, a routine.

When you recognize how your strengths have helped you accomplish things you've already done, you're identifying what will work for you in the future. Investing in your talents will build your strengths. Practice applying your strengths. It's not just the best way to grow them — it's the best way to achieve your goals.
