The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Whether you think Abraham Lincoln or Peter Drucker said the above quote, one thing for me is clear – it’s true!

In fact, it sums up my mission, which is to create a Strengths-Based Generation. And the only way to do this, is to start teaching CliftonStrengths as a Second Language. The earlier we do this, the more likely those 34 powerful words become an integral part of our daily vocabulary!

This is the basis of the Practical Strengths Book Series, of which currently three are available: Parenting, Career Success, and Communication Styles. More are on the way.

Communication Styles Through
the DOmains

Understand the different styles of communication through the four domains of CliftonStrengths. Each domain has a certain style as well as certain needs to be at their best. Learn the nuances of each domain in order to improve relationships, create better team dynamics, and more successful interpersonal communication. This is a dynamic workshop and will involve plenty of conversation and interaction.

For those who are part of the PSMN there is no charge.

Nail Your Brand: Branding 101 in a digital world

You have a choice: let others decide what your Personal Brand is, or you can take control of the message yourself. It’s up to you! And in this digital age, the market can feel saturated and your footprint is everywhere!

Are you maximizing your online presence?

Did you put up a LinkedIn profile and then forget about it? Is your About Me section talking to your Ideal Client? Do your ratings, recommendations, and referrals reflect the type of people you want to work with? Or is it just a hodge podge mix of information?

Most coaches get a little hung up about social media and what they should post on various platforms. A bigger concern should what your social profiles say about you that leads your ideal client to your digital front door.

And YOU are your best brand!

Can you imagine a world where no one sings?

Not possible, right? Britain’s Got Talent, The Voice, the X Factor, American Idol — none of these shows would even exist, let alone be so popular, if we were satisfied with the first person who sang.

We don’t stop singing just because someone else sang a song before us.

Instead, we’ve created new rhythms, we’ve written our own lyrics, and we perform them in a way that no one else can.

The same thing applies to your coaching business and your personal brand.

One of the problems most people have in their branding is they present themselves far too generically to stand out. They’re unable to define their edge in a competitive market.

In this powerful training for coaches, I’ll help you discover how to make your own music heard. The people who need you and who you are meant to coach and serve will hear your unique combination of notes and will be in harmony with your melody.

And isn’t that what you want? To be in sync with those you are most inspired to work with?

Brand new resource guides for CliftonStrengths® Coaches and Enthusiasts alike.

A guide that will bring Strengths out of the professional world and into the personal one.

One that will show us how we can be our best in all areas of our lives.

Jo Self, Gallup Coach, Strengths, Idea AcceleratorJo Self is on a mission to teach Strengths as a Second Language so we can Raise a Strengths-Based Generation. She seeks to create a world where everyone can live to their full potential, talents aren’t wasted and happiness is contagious. As a mompreneur and expat living in Mexico (after 12 yrs in South America), she understands the challenges and rewards that both entail. When she’s not helping others create extraordinary lives, she can be found at the sewing machine, at the movies, enjoying a glass of wine with friends or horsing around with her terribly precocious little boy, affectionately known as O.

She was Peru’s first Gallup Certified Strengths Coach and has been working with Strengths since 2003.  In the past, Jo was busy developing nationally recognized and award winning employee programs for Yum! Brands, the world’s largest fast food restaurant company. And when she wasn’t leading in-house teams to discover their strengths, she was on loan to other organizations helping them to do the same – all while serving on the national board of directors for her professional organization, ESM Association.

Once she left the corporate ranks, she started her own event business, Bon Vivant Savant, and was recognized as both a “Top Female Under 40” influencer in the community by Louisville Woman Magazine and also as a leading entrepreneur in the “40 under 40” list by Business Week Magazine.

After leaving the States she moved to Peru (eventually becoming a citizen as well) where her entrepreneurial spirit continued with a tourism start-up that won a government grant as well as being recognized by ADEX as a top 50 start-up in the country. But that dream wasn’t fulfilling her spirit and a health scare led her to her true calling, being a Strengths Advocate. Today, she continues that journey from Mexico City, serving clients in over 23 countries around the world.
