A St. Patrick's Day Strengths Message


Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I don't know what comes to your mind when you think of St. Patricks' Day. Susy and I have a bit of Irish in our massively mixed heritage and we are celebrating more than usual this year. My parents coming over for corned beef and cabbage, green clover shaped ravioli stuffed with Irish cheese and some Irish themed Ben and Jerry's to top our Irish themed cup cakes. I can't wait :D

In doing some research, I was surprised to learn that a 3 leaf clover and not a 4 leaf clover is actually a symbol of St. Patrick. As he traveled Ireland preaching the gospel and planting over 200 churches, he used the 3 leaf clover to explain "The Trinity" concept that is so core to the Christian faith and message.

Actually, each of us are "trinities" as well in a sense. We are all body, mind, and spirit. And each of the three components offer up a unique individual lens to view our natural talents and strengths.

What are your body talents? Are you coordinated? Do you have good tweezer dexterity? Are you naturally strong? Do you have unusual eye sight? Is your sense of taste or smell especially pronounced?

What about your talents of mind? Do you naturally think strategically? Are you creative? Are you strong at math? Are you gifted with words?

How about your spirit? How do you love and relate with others? Do you have a knack for encouragement and building others up? Do you naturally serve?

St. Patrick's Day is a magical day of sorts. Go out and spread your own unique brand of magic today!

Coaching, Class, and Collaborator Comments

The Purpose of this letter is to describe the benefits I enjoyed from my coaching experience with Dale Cobb. I had a very specific issue, which I needed help getting over the hump with. Our conversations were very helpful in keeping me on track and getting me to the finish line. I believe that Dale is a keen observer of the human condition and has the ability to reflect back an individuals thoughts and goals as one strives for success. I found the services offered by Dale to be timely and effective. In the future, I am sure I will be presented with challenges that require outside assistance. When that time comes, I will not hesitate to call on Dale for his fresh bright and insightful guidance.
