Working with Lois is a joy. She’s just incredible; that is, she is encouraging, positive, and friendly. Most important, you get a big project done, you have a lot of fun doing it, and credit is shared with everybody. This creates a great deal of satisfaction. One of the things I discovered, while working with Lois, was her incredible patience and calmness in all situations. She just has a knowing that it’s all going to work out well. Because of Lois’ understanding of the Japanese culture, work environment, and her ability to translate, we were able to build relationships and business partnerships.

Lois came out to have a two-day session with supervisors regarding the Clifton Strengths Finder. Not only was the large group captivated by her experiences and analogies, but we learned that each of us brings specific talent to the table. As a team, we had experienced some unique challenges and our stress levels were high. By looking at our strengths, we were able to shift our focus and begin looking at how we could more effectively use each other’s strengths to accomplish our goals. We ended up creating a chart with all of our strengths listed and in what order. Now we are all able to reference that chart for specific project needs and create the best team for tackling that project. There is so much variety within our team and now we can use our group talents in a more targeted and meaningful way. Lois really helps to break down what each strength means and how we need to fully leverage our strengths to draw upon what we need for each situation. I would highly recommend Lois as a coach.

When I first met Lois, I was without direction. I didn’t think I could do much. I lacked confidence and did not see personal strengths. As a result, I has settled for being a mail carrier job as my life’s career. I thought that was all I could be. In talking with and working with Lois, I began to see new possibilities and I was challenged to search for what I really wanted. I am grateful for the steady help Lois provided. After seven years, I am now completing my second year of medical school! It is a dream come true!
