What Participants Are Saying

“Strengths NOW has had a transformational impact on our department, the way we view ourselves and each other, and the way we work together to reach our goals. Through both group retreats and leadership workshops, Strengths Now helped us see how our varied themes play out in real life. This model is one I know I will continue to rely on, and revisit, for the rest of my career. I’ve even passed along insights to friends and family members facing workplace challenges.”

Working with Strengths Now has been an incredibly enlightening experience, both personally and professionally. I feel that my awareness to others’ strengths and communication styles, as well as my own, has increased exponentially. Sara is a warm and engaging facilitator, and with her help we were able to fit our puzzle pieces together in an effective and efficient way.”

“We hired Strengths Now to spend a day with our team to help us learn how to work together. We weren’t exactly sure what to expect or what the outcome will be. Some team members thought it was going to be “gimmicky” and weren’t really sure of the value. Well - we could not be more pleased. A month later, we are STILL referencing what we learned. We understand each other and support each other by referencing our strengths. Our team continues to say that our day with Amy was the best spent time we’ve ever had in a training session. We cannot recommend Strengths Now strongly enough!”
— Director, Nonprofit
