You run on patterns nobody else has. So does everyone around you.

Where would you like to start?

One side of this work starts with you and your own results. The other starts with a group of people who are trying to get somewhere together. Plenty of people end up doing both, in either order.

For You

  • You have your results. You can tell there's more in them, and you want to know how to use it.
  • You don't need to know what to ask first. That's what a conversation is for.

One-to-one coaching, online.

Go deeper with your results.

For Teams

  • You've seen CliftonStrengths work before, or you've heard enough to want it for your own team.
  • Some of what your team is best at has never been named out loud.

Workshops and coaching, in person or online.

See workshops for teams.

How this works

The format changes. The way it runs doesn't. Whether it's one conversation or a program for a whole team, these four things are always true.

1

We start from your own results. Your Top 5, or your full 34. Person by person for a team. If you haven't taken the assessment yet, that's part of what I set up.

2

I ask before I build. There's no set curriculum. What you tell me upfront decides what we spend the time on, and for a team it decides the agenda.

3

You learn the thinking, not just the words. That's the part that keeps working when I'm not there.

4

You decide how far to take it. Some people come once, some keep going for months, and teams decide how much gets built around a workshop.

I'm Elvira Marie Chang

For fifteen years I worked in product management at a global company, with people from the factory floor to the executive suite, in offices and plants around the world. I could see how every piece affected the whole, and how each person's work reached all the way out to the customer, continents away.

I've been a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach since 2016. Since then I've worked with individuals one at a time, and with organizations ranging from universities and global corporations to start-ups and small companies looking to grow. I'm based in Miami, I work online, and I travel for in-person workshops.

There's greatness in every person, and it's rarely obvious to the one who has it. Yours probably feels ordinary to you. That's the part I'm listening for.

A feel for my approach

These pieces cover some of the concepts underneath CliftonStrengths: what your results are, what they aren't, and what to do with them. Free and open, so you can see how I explain things before you ever contact me.
