Learn Ways to Create Communication Magic For A Thriving Company Culture
Turning Challenges Into Opportunities
Increasing demands make it difficult for team members at every level
How can an individual turn challenges into opportunities?
Get support for career advancement
You may feel that advancement opportunities are out of reach. Focusing and building on your natural strengths can increase your confidence to communicate the value you bring and the needs you have to feel successful.
Find confidence to connect with others
A sense of belonging is critical to find meaning in your work. Increasing self-awareness opens new perspectives on how you can show up using your unique strengths to experience fitting in and standing out as your best self.
Develop the power to express yourself
The feeling of not being good enough or not being heard can drive people to leave. You will start to develop your natural strengths to communicate and be heard as you expand your sense of wellbeing.
How can your team leverage its strengths to convert challenges into opportunities?
Recruit, retain & motivate diverse teams
Employees will want to stay when they feel valued and are an important part of a purposeful thriving company culture.
Increase trust & clear communication
Trust grows where there is mutual respect and clear communication so all voices can be heard. Genuine acknowledgement and appreciation of every person's contribution can increase trust.
Create alignment with purpose
Creativity & innovation happens when there is a clear sense of team purpose. This brings out the best in all team members while improving engagement and increasing wellbeing.
Recognize The Challenges In Time
Some of the fundamental challenges people face can be harnessed to create amazing opportunities for growth and engagement
Challenges with Participation
Cues: Poor attendance, tardiness, lack of focus, difficulty completing assignments
A Strengths-based approach provides clear language that focuses on appreciating and valuing each person’s contribution, big or small.
Opportunities to bring out the best in yourself and others increases a sense of psychological safety and greater participation.
Challenges with Trust
Cues: Unresolved conflict, friction, poor communication, lack of security & psychological safety, people get defensive, people are afraid to speak up & share their best ideas
A Strengths-based coaching culture gives teams the language and tools to communicate openly, honestly & respectfully. It also helps those individuals focus on their natural talents and provide genuine support.
Leading with Strengths cultivates trust with direct, caring and clear communication.
Challenges with Creativity
Cues: No inspiration, lack of initiative, impatience, low morale, narrow mindedness, burnout, my way or the highway mentality
When leaders & managers focus on their own natural Strengths & those of their diverse teams they unlock unlimited creativity to optimize problem solving.
That leads to a natural flow of amazing new ideas, innovation and resourcefulness.
Challenges with Core Values & Purpose
Cues: Low commitment to outcomes, no personal accountability, lack of purposeful feedback, poor relationships, consistently missed deadlines, unclear expectations
By combining Gallup Clifton Strengths and the highly effective XChange Approach, we help teams co-create a clear purpose and powerful shared values. This gives teams the ability to adapt to rapid change, communicate & collaborate for successful outcomes.

Success Stories
Here are some examples of the kinds of results you can expect to achieve through our coaching programs to create communication magic.
The first words I think of to describe Marcia are creative, helpful, and collaborative.
Marcia helped to clarify the team’s needs and to develop and implement solutions to help the team improve communications and their ability to manage conflict and stress. Marcia’s personable style helped to create an engaging learning environment for the team.
Rebecca Thompson
Senior Manager, Global Talent Management at KARL STORZ
Marcia administered the Conflict Dynamics Profile Instrument to my wife and me, then coached us individually according to our assessments.
Her approach, use of the tools, and mentorship provided us with insights in a succinct and practical manner. She ties healthy responses to individual conflict styles that result in better communication and growth between people and teams. Marcia and her work have been indispensable to shaping the throughputs of my start-up non-profit aimed at serving families of veterans in crisis.
Noel Lipana, DSW
Adjunct Professor at University of Kentucky
I have worked for Marcia in providing a mediation training, and Marcia has worked for me in developing workplace trainings dealing with high conflict situations and personalities.
She has been a joy to work with: very encouraging, hard working and constantly thinking of new ideas and ways to help me get my message across. She is well-organized and liked by all who she deals with. I would recommend her as a conflict coach, consultant and as a trainer.

If you knew back then what you know now, what would you do differently?
If you can relate to this question, you may be curious to learn new ways of fulfilling what is important to you.
When our clients experience a loss of confidence, creativity, power or genuine self-expression, it is often the question I ask that opens up new ways of thinking about the circumstances at the heart of the challenges.
"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic and power in it. Begin it now."
- Goethe
Creating environments that inspire leaders & managers to expand their influence within their teams requires new approaches to communication, adaptation and collaboration.
It’s people who make organizations successful and when given opportunities to be heard, to learn, contribute and be a part of fulfilling an important mission, people will give their best.
Every client has unique struggles that they want to successfully navigate.
My 30 years of experience allow me to be an effective guide as each client learns new ways to adjust their actions to overcome those struggles.
Individuals and teams prosper by leveraging their natural Strengths and unlocking their collective wisdom to fulfill their most challenging goals.
Our clients report successes in all areas of their lives!
