"Strengths is so granular because it is that you're one in 33 million that you are truly unique when you combine that with your story."

Brittany Anderson, a certified transformational coach, shares her personal journey of healing her own family dynamics and the importance of leadership and cohesiveness in the home. She emphasizes the need for individuals to do the transformational work on themselves before trying to heal their relationships. Brittany also highlights the power of defining a family's identity, vision, values, and strengths to navigate through challenging times and create a strong foundation. She believes that world-changing leadership begins at home and that understanding and leveraging family strengths can lead to more resilient and joyful relationships. The conversation explores the power of strengths and play in family dynamics. The Enneagram and strengths assessments are discussed as tools for understanding oneself and others. The four domains of strengths (strategic, executing, relationship building, and influencing) are explained, and how they can impact family dynamics. The importance of play in discovering and reconnecting with one's true self is emphasized, along with the benefits of play in learning and transformation. The Yes Retreat, a two-and-a-half-day intensive for families, is introduced as a way to explore identity, strengths, needs, and values through play. The retreat culminates in the creation of a family crest as a symbol of the family's vision and commitment. Ongoing coaching and group programs are also offered to support families in aligning their lives with their vision.
