I think I’ve mentioned on here a few times that I took a great class on CliftonStrengths for writers that really helped put my professional experiences into perspective for me in general and also helped me narrow down what type of writer I am and how to best be that type of writer.
I liked learning about Strengths so much that last year I became a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach myself and have been working with authors as well as professionals and a sports team to help them apply their Strengths results to their professional challenges. (I’ve blogged about that a bit here.)
Well, now I’m excited to announce that next month I will be helping Becca Syme coach the Advanced Strengths for Writers class. The class comes with three one-on-one coaching sessions. This time around writers will get one session with Becca, one with me, and then a third session with either Becca or myself.
The great thing about having two coaches to work with is that Becca and I have different Strengths we pull on so we see author challenges and opportunities from different angles. We also have different coaching styles. (I am, not surprisingly, a little more blunt at times because of my Command and lack of Woo…) So it’s kind of a little extra bonus perspective for this cohort. (I will say I am also extra fierce in the “own who you are” department so for those with say, Significance, who’ve been taught to doubt themselves, I’ll set you straight.)
The class starts on April 17th and is $399. (You can do that in payments as little as $50 a month if you want.) So if you’ve been hearing about Becca’s classes and Strengths and want to take a deeper dive, now is the time to do so.
Also, I don’t think I’d mentioned it here (I did on my personal Facebook), but Becca published a great book introducing people to the concepts in her classes earlier this year. Check it out if you haven’t already: Dear Writer, You Need to Quit.
