Elevating teams and empowering leaders through CliftonStrengths.

Are you looking for a transformative experience for your team?

People who work from their strengths everyday feel more energized, perform better, are more engaged at work, develop stronger relationships, and experience less stress.

Rachel Wainer, M.Ed.

Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach

I believe that everyone wants to use their talents to make a positive impact.

Our greatest talents - the ways in which we most naturally think, feel and behave - represent our innate power and potential. When we tap into this source of wisdom and power, we act with more confidence, direction, and hope, and we are more productive.

My job is to help individuals understand and leverage their natural abilities to perform with excellence and feel great doing it — it’s how I use my strengths to do the most good.

I coach high performing teams and their managers on how to apply their strengths to meaningful goals and create workplaces that people love to work for. I also facilitate workshops for aspiring and seasoned leaders, managers, and students — developing an awareness of the power of their strengths and how they can be the foundation for their success and happiness.

Howard Thurman’s words speak deeply to me — “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive.” I often wonder what our organizations, communities, and world would look like if more people were lit up everyday - using their strengths to to achieve meaningful goals and all of us being better off because of it.

If you wonder these things too I want to work with you!

Let’s work together

I offer team workshops, leadership development programs and
1-on-1 and coaching.

  • I can directly see how my strengths have led to previous professional successes and now that I am conscious of these areas, I know as I continue to hone these strengths, it will only benefit me in feeling more in my flow and energized and avoid what drains me.

  • Because of this experience I now truly feel good about my strengths versus focussing my energy on my weaknesses.

    Rena Abrams

  • This has transformed how I tackle problems at home and at work.

    Yuval Brockman

  • Everything changed once I learned about my strengths. I was finally able to see and recognize myself and really value who I am and begin to implement and use my strengths in my personal and professional life.

  • Rachel's session was instrumental in bringing our organization to new heights. The theme of our offsite was "Stronger Together", which we cannot build towards without understanding ourselves, each other and how to partner.

    Jessica Smith

  • Rachel is an expert facilitator and is extremely knowledgeable in her subject matter. She can seamlessly guide a conversation and kept our large, animated group on track while also honoring the discussions that emerged.

What is strengths based development?

The global strengths movement started 60 years ago when Don Clifton, father of Strengths Based Psychology, asked, “What would happen if we studied what was right with people versus what’s wrong with people?”

Clifton spent his life researching and inventing ways to help people maximize their potential. He created the CliftonStrengths assessment (formerly StrengthsFinder), used by millions of people to understand their natural talents - what they do best.

As a Gallup Certified Strengths coach I am trained to help you identify your talents and use them everyday to experience meaning, happiness, and achievement.
