DISCOVER JO SELF
CliftonStrengths Coach for Communication, Community
& Conscious Leadership
I’m Jo Self. A CliftonStrengths coach, thought partner,
and all-too-human gal who’s been through it.
This space is for the curious, the courageous,
and the still-figuring-it-out folks.
Let’s explore how your strengths can bring more clarity, confidence, and connection into your life.
One moment of clarity can change everything.
It’s not just possible – it’s probable.

New to CliftonStrengths? You’re in the Right Place.
You’ve heard about strengths. You’ve taken the assessment (or you’re thinking about it). You’re not ready to take the giant leap, but you are ready to take that first step to understand yourself better.
This site is designed to help you:
-
Make sense of your results
-
Build better relationships
-
Communicate with more clarity
-
Take that next step with more confidence
We’re here to Appreciate. Communicate. Illuminate.
It’s Not Just Possible. It’s Probable.
I believe everyone should “make their weird their wonderful”. You just need the right tools, language, and a little encouragement to begin. It can be uncomfortable stepping into your own spotlight to shine.
Whether you’re a new coach, a curious parent, a midlife reboot-er, or someone who’s just tired of not feeling seen… you belong here.

Practical Strengths Mastery Network Membership
For those of us who have fully embraced Strengths or are on a path to doing so – as a language and as a way of life – I present you the Practical Strengths Mastery Network. This is a space where we collaboratively create and learn. The idea is to build and grow stronger together. We will start virtually, but the idea is to grow into local communities as well for in-person support and collaboration. I hope you’ll join us.
In addition, a portion of the membership will support the Practical Strengths Foundation coming in 2024. The goal of the Foundation is to subsidize the cost of CliftonStrengths Assessments for economically challenged communities.
