"You're Not Stuck Because You're Not Trying Hard Enough"
You're stuck because you've been building or leading in ways that don't fit who you actually are.
This 90-minute CliftonStrengths Blueprint Session shows you:
Why things feel so hard (when you're this capable)
Where your natural wiring and your current reality don't match
What aligned next steps could look like for YOUR strengths
For quietly ambitious nurse entrepreneurs and leaders who are tired of forcing it.
Limited spots available • Beta rate $150 (regular $300)If You’ve Been Working Hard but Feel Out of Sync… This Will Help
This session helps you finally see your natural patterns — the way you think, create, connect, and make decisions — and shows you what alignment could look like for your next chapter.
It’s clarity that feels like a long breath out.
What Is the Strengths Blueprint Session?
This is where you stop wondering "why is this so hard?" and finally get the answer.
In 90 minutes, we'll map your CliftonStrengths and uncover:
Why some strategies energize you and others drain you
Where you've been forcing yourself to fit someone else's model
What alignment actually looks like for YOUR wiring
What your next aligned step could be
You'll leave with clarity that feels like relief—not more pressure.
What You Walk Away With
A grounded, reflective strengths conversation that makes sense of what’s been feeling heavy or unclear.
✔ 90-minute 1:1 Strengths Blueprint Session on Zoom
✔ Personalized Strengths Blueprint Summary (Google doc)
A clear, personalized summary of your themes, insights, and direction.
A simple explanation of where your natural wiring and your current reality don’t match — often the missing piece behind feeling stuck or drained.
✔ Your Strengths Gap Insight
✔ 2–3 aligned next steps customized to your goals
Small, self-honoring, do-able steps that honor your strengths, energy, and season of life.
✔ A spacious conversation that helps you reconnect to what feels true for you
This isn’t pressure or performance — it’s a calm space to understand yourself clearly.

Why Alignment Always Beats Efforting
Many nurses — especially AAPI, immigrant, quietly brilliant and women-of-color professionals — have been taught to override their natural wiring to succeed.
But alignment always works better than efforting.
You’ll walk away:
understanding yourself more deeply
seeing what’s actually been getting in the way
recognizing your natural strengths
knowing exactly where to focus next
It’s the foundation for building or leading in a way that feels like you.
