Using Your Strengths to Accomplish Career Goals (with my coach, Dave Moreno)
Show Notes Transcript

Join me in a special episode as I coach my coach! Listen in to my conversation with life and business coach, Dave Moreno. I unveil Dave’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths, shedding light on his unique talents that set him apart from others.

Dave and I discuss the power of strengths and how they can be used - strategically - to accomplish career goals. 

This episode is a conversation that aired on Dave’s “Entrepreneurs Only” podcast. Dave helps entrepreneurs grow their businesses by working smarter, not harder.  



Hello, everyone, and welcome to the CareerSequel podcast. I’m your host, Dr. Lee Koles and I hope that you are having a fantastic day, or that it’s off to a great start. Thank you for reaching out after last week’s episode, “Inside a Strengths Coaching Session” where you were able to sit in on my CliftonStrengths session with life coach Kristi Falany. 

Kristi participated in a Strengths Workshop I conducted at a retreat in the Dominican Republic and she asked me to discuss her strengths in more detail on her podcast, “Start in the Middle”. Many of you messaged me to say that you were interested in learning more about Strengths, particularly how they can be leveraged to advance your career. 

And I don’t blame you - I love talking about Strengths - more specifically I love introducing other people to their own strengths. It never gets old because people are always surprised to learn about their talents.

My coach, Dave Moreno, asked me to coach him on his Strengths. He took the assessment and asked me to reveal his strengths to him, live on his podcast - the “Entrepreneurs Only” podcast. 

I did it - it was a blast - for both of us. Since then, Dave hired me to coach his wife, Laura and he had me conduct a 2.5 hour Strengths Workshop at his fall retreat. 

Dave was kind enough to share his recording of our conversation so that you can get a glimpse of the magic that happens when someone learns about their strengths for the first time. Not only learns about them, but also discusses how to use them - strategically - to accomplish career goals. 

You’re going to love this behind-the-curtain view and please stick around for the end of the podcast because I have something special to tell you. It’s exciting stuff!

Everyone, here is Dave Moreno:

It’s me - I’m back again! I hope you enjoyed this episode. If you or someone in your family, your workplace or some other part of your life could benefit from Strengths coaching sessions, you are in luck! I’m offering a limited number of 1:1 Strengths Coaching packages that include the CliftonStrengths assessment and 3 private 1-hour-long sessions. You get the strengths assessment and then we break it down, together in 3 1-hour long sessions. By the end of our time together you’ll understand yourself at a deeper level. You’ll know your own path to excellence and also will understand how to avoid distracting pitfalls. You’ll be able to present yourself, market yourself and know what sets you apart from the rest. 

Send me an email at LeeKoles@careersequel.com and put “Strengths” in the subject line.

Again, I have a limited amount of space - the coaching package includes the CliftonStrengths assessment and 3 one-hour sessions. You get your Top 5 Strengths and you meet with me three different times for one hour at a time. 

Just getting your CliftonStrengths assessment results can be mind-blowing, so just consider what it will feel like after three intensive one-hour sessions with me. Oh my gosh - we are going to have so much fun!

Until we get together again, take good care and know that I’m cheering you on!
