HUMN - The Average Duck

Become More of Who You Really Are

Personal Strengths Coaching

for Individuals and Organizations

Chris Raines

HUMN Development, CEO

Certified Personal Strengths Coach

Our Humn Development personal strengths coaches assist individuals and team leaders in identifying a person’s natural talents and developing them to their fullest potential.

For many, personal strengths coaching is like getting a shot in the arm: a boost of confidence, or a new direction in life. In business, this means not only do you benefit from coaching, but so does your team. Personal strengths coaching can enhance your understanding and appreciation for the skills you are innately good at. Learning about your stronger skills allows you to further develop them. Simultaneously, you can choose to let other team members leverage their best skills, which might be among your weaker ones. This approach fosters team building in a meaningful way. It also provides direction for setting meaningful goals and taking action steps for both yourself and your team.

Becoming More Than The Average Duck

The best approach is Your Approach.

The Animal School:

Fable By George Reavis

Let the fish swim.

Let the rabbits run.

Let the eagles fly.

We don’t want a school of average ducks.

Trying to teach a duck to be a great runner and swimmer results in being average overall.

Testimonials

Dave B.:

I’d like to take the opportunity to recognise Chris for the StrengthsFinder session he ran for our Global Commercial Credit leadership team in Phoenix. As I said at the time, it was a great learning and team building exercise for our team. Chris brought all his energy and experience to deliver an excellent session. The perfect combination of passion for the subject, expert knowledge and excellent presentation skills. Thank you!!!

Kelsey C.:

I just wanted to say thank you for today’s workshop. In school we don’t always talk about human dynamics and how people can be successful in different ways rather than just getting an A. These sessions make people fell like they are important in so many ways and I am thankful we have someone like you to lead us through that journey. Even though I did not write a mid-year due to my recent start date it was great to participate and learn things about my teammates.

Patricia G.:

Good afternoon Chris!

I completed my assessment about a year ago during a session for a LEAD program, but I never received the kind of attention to these results as I had today. I gained so much insight and explanation from you that it made my Strengths seem way more applicable than I had already known they were. Will take your advice and “homework” and certainly begin to apply them to my every day routine.

Thank you so very much for your time and expertise, definitely looking forward to becoming more involved in this in the future.

Saisha S.:

Thank you for an amazing session Chris.

I will definitely find myself listening to the recording. You are gifted in the ability of sharing insights with thought and humor. I hope you we get to hear you more .. maybe Ted Talks
