Con Fuerza Performance Coaching is all about helping you dig deep to find out what you are amazing at and how to thrive with it. The phrase "Con Fuerza" means "With Strength" and that's the approach we take here. Let's discover your Strengths and then aim to use them, on purpose, to soar higher than you ever have before. The journey is fun, enlightening and you will feel much more engaged and successful when you put it all to work!
At Con Fuerza, we utilize an approach backed by Gallup to uncover and develop your strengths. If you are not familiar with Gallup, they are a research based organization who's founder decided to study what is right with people vs what is wrong. We take this a step further by utilizing their science and matching it up to your situations to give you real time, relevant feedback that you can apply today. Working in this space will ensure you are more engaged in your work or home life and will lead to higher performance.
