First Strengths Coaching Session!

Today I held my first official strengths coaching session! It was with Candice who is a college student and an intern at work (and a fellow blogger!). It was great to get practice in using the coaching booklet and to talk about the different dimensions of the Strengths Finder themes to promote greater awareness and understanding. Working with Candice was so easy perhaps cuz I've gotten to know her pretty well, but more importantly I think she really does live her strengths (in my opinion!!). Just before our coaching session, she told a story to our group at lunch that was a perfect example of actions she took at school that were consistent with her "includer" and "responsibility" strengths. This session was a great one to get started, and I could only hope that all future coaching sessions are so easy and productive!
