Individualization is in my Top 5 which means I love to tailor conversations and gifts for my clients, family and friends. I was thinking that maybe you’d also like a little inspiration to give a special gift of appreciation for someone who has a Strengths theme that shines! Â Oh yeah, and if they don’t know their Strengths, send them my way. I’ve got gift certificates for StrengthsFinder packages that would make fantastic stocking stuffers for everyone on your list. đ
