  • Gallup CliftonStrengths

    • Our owner, Teri Smiley, is a certified Gallup CliftonStrengths coach. We offer CliftonStrengths coaching for individuals and for teams. According to decades of research by Gallup, they found that building employees' strengths is a far more effective approach to improving performance than trying to improve weaknesses. When employees know and use their strengths, they are more engaged, perform better, and are less likely to leave their company.
