    I have used Maximizing Strengths© to help my clients learn their top 5 strengths and maximize these to live a less stressful and chaotic life by focusing on what energizes them. My 7 coaches and our 100 active clients use these tools to feel more confident. I have seen individuals come back up to three years later saying they are still maximizing their strengths to live a more empowered life.
