CERTIFICATIONS

Gallup Certified Strengths Coach

A person’s talents – those thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that come naturally – are the source of his or her true potential and power. A strengths coach helps clients understand and start to harness their talents. The more clients apply their dominant talents, the greater is their potential to consistently act with confidence, direction, and hope.

A coach invests in and interacts with an individual, partnership, or team for the primary purpose of stimulating, motivating, and facilitating the growth, development, and performance of that individual, partnership, or team.

The CliftonStrengths assessment is just the start. The real improvement happens when people develop, not just discover, their talents. A Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach is the key to making that happen, and is a person who the best teams and organizations rely on for leading employees to accomplish great things.

Gallup-Certified Strengths Coaches help people accomplish great things by doing what they naturally do best. Kevin leads the right conversations, focused on helping people achieve their purpose using their CliftonStrengths. In the end, people learn to live their best lives, at work and everywhere else.

DiSC® Trainer

DiSC® is the leading personal assessment tool used by over 1 million people every year to improve work productivity, teamwork and communication. The DiSC profile, published by Wiley, is a non-judgmental tool used for discussion of people’s behavioral differences. If you participate in a DiSC program, you’ll be asked to complete a series of questions that produce a detailed report about your personality and behavior. You’ll also receive tips related to working with people of other styles.

The DiSC® model provides a common language that people can use to better understand themselves and to adapt their behaviors with others — within a work team, a sales relationship, a leadership position, or other relationships.
DiSC profiles help you and your team:
• Increase your self-knowledge: how you respond to conflict, what motivates you, what causes you stress, and how you solve problems
• Improve working relationships by recognizing the communication needs of team members
• Facilitate better teamwork and teach productive conflict
• Develop stronger sales skills by identifying and responding to customer styles
• Manage more effectively by understanding the dispositions and priorities of employees and team members

What does DiSC stand for? What do the letters mean?
Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, Conscientiousness

Federally Certified Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business

The Veterans Benefits, Health Care, and Information Technology Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-461) provides the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) with unique authority for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) set-aside and sole source contracts.

This procurement authority, and its subsequent implementation, is a logical extension of VA’s mission to care for our Nation’s Veterans. VA refers to this program as the Veterans First Contracting Program.

The Vets First Verification Program affords verified firms owned and controlled by Veterans and Service-disabled Veterans the opportunity to compete for VA set asides. During Verification, the Center for Verification and Evaluation (CVE) verifies SDVOSBs/VOSBs according to the tenets found in Title 38 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 74 and 13 CFR Part 125 that address Veteran eligibility, ownership, and control. In order to qualify for participation in the Veterans First Contracting Program, eligible SDVOSBs/VOSBs must first be verified.
