"At Cisco, we are focusing on the power of teams and one of the qualities of the “best teams” is having the ability to use your strengths daily.  Holly has a powerful and engaging way of helping people identify their strengths, but more importantly owning it for their development and the growth of their respective team/company.  Several members of the team followed up after the session to express how important it made them feel and to thank us for having the courage to do something we hadn’t done before.  Holly’s positive impact has made such an impression at Cisco Federal."
