Our Solutions

PACKAGE 1

Maximizing Your Team’s Natural Strengths

Do you know what makes each member of your team unique? When you tap into the unique strengths of your team, you unleash everyone’s full potential while simultaneously maximizing the collaborative potential of the team. The world tells us to “work on our weaknesses.” Science tells us to make the most of what we already do well and partner with others who can fill in our gaps.

Participants will learn to:

  • Harness their unique talents
  • Leverage the shared strengths of the team
  • Create productive, strengths-based partnerships

Package includes:
“Top 5” CliftonStrengths codes for each participant, as well as a 1:1 coaching session with a Gallup Certified Coach, a written summary of that session, a Group Session led by Sarah Robinson (session length dependent on the size of the team), and a follow-up “accountability” email after the group session.

“Working with Sarah on determining the strengths of my team and how we complement each other has been very enlightening and helpful. It has been a tool for me to know where I need to supplement my team and to add to the overarching strengths of Relocation Strategies. I am very grateful for all of her help and assistance and would highly recommend Sarah.” Melissa St. John CEO, Relocation Strategies, Inc.

PACKAGE 2

Inspiring Leadership

Our world and how we define “inspiring leadership” has changed dramatically in the last decade. Do your leaders have the new playbook to navigate the evolving rules of the leadership game? Sarah’s presentation—based on organizational behavior (OB) research, as well as 17 years of teaching OB to college students—reveals how outdated leadership practices can undermine employee engagement, and how more effective and modern leadership techniques can reignite their team.

Participants will:

  • Practice and demonstrate their new leadership skills over the course of the day while participating in active learning exercises
  • Use “homework” assignments to facilitate the transfer of learning to the worksite
  • Rely upon group discussion questions to share their learning and create new team learning after returning to work

Package includes:
“Top 5” CliftonStrengths codes for each participant, as well as a 1:1 coaching session with a Gallup Certified Coach, a written summary of that session, a Group Session led by Sarah Robinson (session length choice: 2 half-day group sessions or 1 full-day group session), signed copies of Fresh Leadership: 5 Skills to Transform You and Your Team for participants, and a follow-up “accountability” email after the group session.

“Our managers participated in the ‘Inspiring Leadership’ training during 2022. Sarah’s resources (especially the book) and presentations helped our managers literally and figuratively get on the same page.” Gary Hegeman COO, Nashville Office Interiors

PACKAGE 3

Employee Engagement

What do Microsoft, Cisco, Apple, Pepsi, and Salesforce all have in common? They all have a highly engaged workforce. Happy and engaged employees produce better results: less turnover, greater productivity, and enhanced motivation. Don’t sit on the sidelines watching other organizations grow engagement: do it! Gallup’s Q12 assessment allows organizations of any size and across numerous industries to benchmark and grow employee engagement. Twelve questions, posed to your employee in this straightforward and brief assessment, can give your organization new direction and increased managerial clarity.

Organizations who chose this package will learn:

  • The percentage of engaged employees in the organization and in each department
  • How to communicate the Q12 results to managers and staff
  • What needs to be done to increase future employee engagement

Package Includes:
Consultation to customize the Gallup Q12 assessment (including establishing demographic questions and selecting open-ended questions), email distribution of the Q12 to all employees, reminders to employees to take the Q12, daily updates for leaders regarding the Q12 participation rate, Q12 Executive Summary, and Q12 All-Staff Summary.

“Our organization has seen tremendous employee engagement improvements after working with Fresh Concepts. Despite nationwide slides in engagement, our employees’ engagement improved between 2020-2022. Guidance by Sarah and dedication by our managers and staff made all the difference.” Tom O’Neil Owner, OfficeWorks

PACKAGE 4

Selling with
Your Strengths

In June 2022, Gallup launched a new assessment to serve salespeople. Learn how this new report caters to the sales community and how your sales team can reach its greatest goals using this new and unique content.

Participants will:

  • Understand your sales talents and potential obstacles
  • Be adept at navigating sales conversations
  • Connect your customers’ needs to the individual talents found among your sales team

Packages Includes:
“Top 5” CliftonStrengths for Sales codes for each participant, a 1:1 coaching session with a Gallup Certified Coach to review this report, a written summary of that session, a Group Session led by Sarah Robinson (session length dependent on the size of the team), and a follow-up “accountability” email after the group session.

Sarah Robinson

Founder, President, Author

Sarah has spent her entire career measuring, studying, and advising leaders on how to increase employee engagement and build better teams. She landed her first gig while still in graduate school. The rest is history.

For seventeen years, Sarah taught an organizational behavior class at IUPUI while simultaneously growing her business. Sarah retired from teaching to address a reoccurring (and haunting) question from her students: “Why doesn’t my manager know this information?”

Sarah has written two books, Unstuck at Last: Using Your Strengths to Get What You Want and Fresh Leadership: Five Skills to Transform You and Your Team. These publications prove that Sarah is both a glutton for punishment and determined to share her knowledge at significant personal sacrifice.
Sarah is among the first seven people to become a Gallup Certified Coach in the world.

Fresh Concepts is certified as a Women Business Enterprise (WBE) in Indiana.
