What People Say
Learn about the impact these workshops had on our attendees.
As I explored my strengths, I gained valuable insights into some of my own mental blocks and verbiage to express feelings and behaviors that I couldn't express clearly before...Hearing other military spouses share their experience openly offered the opportunity to learn how they perceive situations from a different strength mindset. It was such a beautiful way to connect with other spouses and see how they lean into their strengths in similar military spouse and transition situations.
Danielle
Active Army National Guard Spouse
After years of playing a support role, it is time for me to step forward and find my voice again...I feel like I better understand my own reactions to things and how I can better listen and become a more powerful version of myself.
Ann
Active Duty Air Force Spouse
The [workshop] was a calm, safe place to unravel the answers to your questions about why you are the way you are...an immediate and intimate connection with new spouses who already "get" you. [The workshop] was a unique tool tailored to shine a light on navigating transition in military life and personal life.

What is CliftonStrengths?®
STRENGTH, noun: character traits or skills that are considered positive:
For this masterclass, we’ll use Gallup’s CliftonStrengths Assessment as a foundation-building element for your journey.
After taking the assessment, you’ll receive a customized report on your Top 5 talents.
Together, we’ll peel back a new layer and build a new understanding of how your talents show up in the world and how you can call on them when facing challenges.
A journey of discovery, awareness & ownership
Your Outcomes
Build Personal Connections
A small group setting as well as breakout sessions fosters close connections. Our goal for you is to leave this experience with a battle buddy (or 10) for the next season of military life.
Refine Your Self Talk
If you don’t understand why you interact and respond the way we do, negative self talk can grow roots. Acknowledging your talent weaknesses can provide space for self-compassion.
Expand Your Self Awareness
Whether new to strengths or a strengths pro, through this experience you’ll learn to celebrate your talents at their best and learn to notice when they’re holding you back.
Embrace Your Talent Footprint
Learn why you truly are “one in a million” based on your unique combination of talents. Owning your talent footprint means knowing when and how to lean into the best of who you are.
Increase Your Confidence
Confidence suffers when you aren’t clear on who you are at your best and how to bring the best of you to every interaction. Strengths work can help you unlock personal clarity and confidence.
Develop a New Language
Leaning on your workshop members, you’ll have an opportunity to develop an entirely new language for who you are and how you show up in your life and the lives of others.
Meet Your Masterclass Guide
Hi! I’m so glad you’re considering this investment in yourself.
When my strengths journey began I was a seasoned and salty military spouse. I had watched a career I loved become a casualty of our life, and my passions dull. I felt disconnected with who I was and what I wanted from our next chapter. Learning new language for who I was gave me a new lease on life, clarity for my gifts, and an acceptance of my shortcomings.
As your coach and your guide, my role is to help you understand, harness, and apply your own uniqueness to your life’s journey. Let’s get started!

Testimonials
More From Our Attendees
I think the biggest value in the [workshop] experience is taking the time to focus solely on yourself. We are so conditioned to identify and meet the needs of all we come into contact with - spouse, kids, community, peers - but we are rarely conditioned to focus on ourselves.
Theresa
Veteran Army Spouse
[This] was a transformative experience, allowing me to connect with talents/abilities I didn't know I had and refine my understanding of the ones I was aware of...[it] really helped me to feel confident in my identity and understand specific ways to tune into my Strengths.

You have questions. We have answers.
We’d like to think so.
First, the Evolve retreat’s Strengths Workshop included dozens of attendees and moved at a fast pace. This effort will be more intimate and move at a slower pace, giving you time to ask questions as you go and learn from other attendees.
This curriculum includes exercises and discussion not included in the Evolve retreat.
Strengths work is iterative, meaning everytime you open the book on your strengths you’ll likely find new ways to apply your talents to your current struggles. We believe even if you attended the Evolve Strengths workshops you can find new value in this effort and the connections you’ll form.
The workshop runs 3 hours. When registering you’ll select the program that fits your schedule.
Yes and no. Portions of each session, when we are gathered together at one virtual table, will be accessible for 14 days after the session. This will allow you to get caught up before the next session.Discussions that happen in breakout rooms will not be available on-demand.
This is intended to be a personal, hand-on experience.
We will be using MS Teams. This allows for easy recording, screen sharing, and saved chats.
No. Occasionally, we offer transition-specific versions of this workshop. Unless noted as such, these classes are open to any military spouse.
Yes! We know that programming to support your journey is lacking. We welcome your insights to the retirement and transition process and look forward to helping you gain the insights needed for your current season.
We hope so! If this isn’t the right time for you, please share this opportunity with a friend.
A great wifi connection and a computer or tablet is all you need for a great experience.
