After more than 20 years of teaching, I knew I needed a change, but I had no idea where to start. I had vague ideas about what I wanted in a new career (flexibility, the ability to work from anywhere), but nothing very concrete.

Pri coached me to dig deep into my experiences, values, and goals to find what truly mattered. Together we identified my strengths and clarified non-negotiables that aligned with who I am and where I want to go. Those priorities became my compass as I explored possibilities, and ultimately led me to pursue a second master’s degree and a new career. When I was accepted to two programs, I returned to the priorities I had developed with Pri and the right choice for me became clear.

What makes Pri exceptional is her balance of affirmation and gentle challenge. She reflects your ideas back in ways that help you see yourself anew, and she brings a thoughtful lens to identity and the systemic obstacles women of color face, which helped me reframe my own perspective in powerful ways.

During a career transition, I sought out Pri’s counsel to help chart my next chapter. Together, we reflected on my professional journey and explored how to be more intentional in designing what comes next. I appreciated her strengths-based approach to coaching, and, through our partnership, I gained greater clarity on my values, priorities, and the kind of impact I want to have in my work. Pri asked insightful questions that pushed my thinking and helped me move from abstract ideas into a concrete direction and action. As a result, I developed a stronger sense of confidence in my decision-making and a clearer articulation of my professional narrative. Overall, our work together provided both structure and encouragement during a pivotal moment. I left with a renewed sense of purpose and a more intentional path forward.

Identify and Leverage Your Child’s Strengths

What are my child’s strengths?

What are my child’s strengths? Sometimes we are so focused on what goes wrong in parenting, and the mistakes we make and our children make, that it is hard to focus on the good stuff! And yet a strengths-based approach is essential for growth and change! 

When my children were younger, I remember my attention being drawn to the negative and the problematic. I would come home from work and immediately notice if the backpacks and shoes were yet again left in disarray at the door. This would lead me to comment to my kids: “Why did you leave your backpacks and shoes all over the hallway again?” A negative spiral of communication would ensue. It also led me to overlook that they were actually doing their homework and being productive at that moment. 

Why should we focus on strengths?
