Strengths-based career development is everywhere in the corporate world; but rarely delivered for student-athletes, in their language, by someone inside a college athletics department. That’s the room I work in.
The Translation Playbook
Athletes already have the skills. I help translate their value.
Keynote & Facilitation Ready Sessions
From Competition to Your Future.
- From Athletic Experience to Career Capital Talk about yourself with confidence, translating transferable skills into elevator pitches, resumes, and STAR-method interviews.
- From the Identify Cliff to Career Fit
when sport ends, find the work and environments that fit how you’re already wired, using CliftonStrengths. - From Meet-and-Greets to Real Networks
Turn moments with donors, alumni, and fans into intentional networking, follow-through, and a brand building opportunity that lasts beyond your playing days.
Without a Box Engagement
Developing the Holistic Leader Within the High-Achieving Performer.
- The “Teamwork in Motion” workshop is a movement-based workshop where athletes physically experience leadership exploring their integrity, connection, trust building, how they navigate change, and how both leading and following are roles leadership.
- This workshop is inspired by Dr. Sobers’
“Dance of Leadership” TEDx talk.
