You know your team is capable of more.
Let’s make it possible.

I help leaders and their teams use their strengths to improve performance, reduce friction, and make work feel more energizing.

It’s not a talent problem

You already have capable, thoughtful people. What’s missing is a shared way of working that actually brings out their best.

In our work together, we create the conditions for people to do their best work—clarity on goals, daily application of strengths, stronger relationships, and a team environment where people are able to contribute and be themselves.

What changes is both how the team feels and how it performs: work becomes more energizing, collaboration more natural, and results more consistent.

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.

Beyond Belonging

My work is grounded in the belief that people thrive when they can use their strengths, contribute meaningfully, and know that they matter. Belonging is essential, but flourishing requires the experience of mattering - the feeling that we are valued and that our contributions make a difference.

In addition to my CliftonStrengths workshops, I research and speak about mattering and the role positive institutions play in helping people and communities flourish.

  • 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.

  • 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.
