In the early 1960's Dr. Jay Thomas identified six innate strengths displayed in every person. According to Opposite Strengths all six strengths have equal and positive value. The six innate strengths are divided into three pairs of "opposite strengths". 

 

Although all six strengths have equal value, no one uses all of the strengths equally. Each person favors one of the strengths in each pair over the other displaying natural tendencies creating eight different pattern of strengths.

​

Opposite Strengths' simple yet dynamic approach not only provides users a better understanding of their own personal strengths but also allows them the ability to recognize the pattern of strengths in others in order to better communicate and be productive.

As you discover your own natural pattern of strengths, you can begin to recognize the pattern of strengths in others in order to work more effectively together.

I believe we were created to create. As we discover our own strengths and recognize the strengths of others we develop a space where our relationships, our businesses and our communities grow and thrive.

 

Early in my career I invested in developing successful teams and coaching individuals to reach their fullest potential. Today, as the co-author of Team-Building Activities for the Digital Age and a certified Opposite Strengths coach I offer professional development and strategic planning consultation with for-profit and nonprofit organizations, schools and universities.

​

I would enjoy the opportunity to help your team learn to work within their strength patterns, better understand their colleagues and apply the information through dynamic exercises focused on translating theory into practice.
