“This program has completely reshaped the way I think about not only my writing but also myself. I’ve moved from fixating on my perceived weaknesses to celebrating my hidden strengths, what Rose has helped me see as true “superpowers” that have motivated so many new lines of thinking and creating and becoming.”

“Rose has a truly unique coaching approach, very different from what I’ve experienced in previous academic writing workshops. Unlike those one-size-fit-all templates for improving on your writing skills, Rose’s method is very personalized—I learned about writing as much as I learned about myself. Thank you, Rose!”

“Rose, what an amazing gift! I really found your insights helpful and liberating. Specifically, I have not allowed reading to be a part of my writing time. But, I’m so appreciative of this understanding of my strengths which allows me to build in reading and thinking with my writing time. Thank you!!”

FAQ
Q: What’s the difference between a strength and a superpower?
A: “Strength” is the official language Gallup uses to describe what happens when you hone your natural talents by learning about and practicing them. While I often use the two terms interchangeably, superpower evokes something special that very few others possess. It’s much more delicious, too.
Q: Why should I bother with the Gallup CliftonStrengths assessment? Isn’t it a standardized test?
A: You can read all about the test design here. As with all tests, the problem with it is how you use it, not necessarily the test itself. We each have unique gifts and talents that we often cannot see ourselves—they only become obvious when you find out that others do not have them. Once you realize you have this superpower, you can embrace it and embrace your unique writing process. Your writing process can then become more enjoyable because you’re no longer working against yourself.
Q: What do you bring as the coach?
A: I’m a scholarly (and fiction) writer, as well as a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach. As someone high in Individualization, I love focusing on what makes people tick! As a former chair and professor, I love the chance to focus on how professors can grow, rather than on whether they published a gazillion articles last year.
Q: Why are we working with my top 10 strengths for writing? I thought we’d only use the top 5.
A: A Gallup trainer described using your top 5 strengths as akin to building a house with one hand behind your back. You can do it, but it would be a lot easier with two hands. The complete picture of your superpowers emerges when you look at your top 10, or even your top 15.
Q: What are your strengths?
A: Thanks for asking! Here are my top 10 in order: Achiever | Connectedness | Relator | Learner | Individualization | Empathy | Developer | Intellection | Discipline | Positivity.
