Welcome!

This site is dedicated to helping Moms like you understand why you think the way you think, feel the way you feel, and react to motherhood in the ways that you do.

The Gallup StrengthsFinder(R) Profile has traditionally been used to guide professionals on ways to capitalize on their strengths and maximize the hard-wiring they can't change about themselves.

As a Mom, StrengthsFinder(R) can be a powerful tool to answer questions about why you struggle with everything from playdates, to arranging your day, to managing your work-life balance.

If you can't figure out if you should or shouldn't work outside the home to feel fulfilled, StrengthsFinder(R) could provide you with the insight and self-reflection you need.

By leveraging your strengths, you will begin to feel more power to be successful at motherhood, and at life.

Getting Started with StrengthsFinder(R)

The StrengthsFinder(R) Profile is an online interview which gives you instant results and feedback on your top five out of 34 possible "themes". You can only access the profile with a unique identification number gained from one of several Gallup books (see links at the top right of this page).

Once you complete the interview you will better understand how your themes manifest themselves in your daily actions and reactions. We invite you to share your stories about the frustrations and successes of motherhood in relation to each of your themes using the links on the right of this page.

You can learn the strategies that other Moms who share your themes use to capitalize on those themes. You'll be better equipped than ever before to make informed decisions about how you spend your days, and you'll gain more enjoyment and satisfaction from motherhood.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you!

Thank you to all of my friends who have taken the StrengthsFinder profile to help me launch this project! Learning more about each of you has given me great insight about how we can better connect and what I can learn from each of you to be a better Mom. The feedback I've gotten from many Moms is that the StrengthsFinder profile has really helped give them perspective and it has provided some much needed self-reflection.

I look forward to hearing from many more Moms soon who want to leverage their strengths to get the more out of motherhood.

Do you want to better understand yourself to become a better Mom?

Take the Gallup StrengthsFinder Profile and begin strategizing with other Moms who share your themes. For more information, email me at courtneybriggswrites@gmail.com or click on the links to the Gallup books at the top right of this page. We look forward to hearing from you.
