Our mission is to create positive change through coaching, training, and strategic planning. Since our inception in 1996, we have been committed to helping people become their best selves.

Our Heritage

From humble beginnings, Finding Strengths has evolved into an international company with a presence in the United States, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand. Our journey began when Jeanie Hartranft, our founder, was recommended by her sister to provide tutoring services to neighbors in need. One was a student with special needs requiring a patient and resourceful tutor, and the other was the son of Vietnamese-speaking parents who needed help with English. Over the years, we have expanded our services to cater to students, professionals, and organizations, serving over 700 clients and continually developing our curriculum based on the latest research and client needs.

Our Team

Our team comprises experienced professionals who are passionate about helping others achieve their goals. We believe in the power of coaching and training to unlock human potential. Our team is dedicated to understanding each client's unique strengths and challenges, tailoring our services to meet their specific needs. We are committed to creating a supportive and encouraging environment where individuals can grow and thrive.

Academic Coaching

At Finding Strengths, we understand the importance of academic success. Our academic coaching services are designed to help students overcome obstacles and reach their academic goals. Whether you're struggling with a particular subject, need help with study skills, or are looking to improve your grades, our experienced coaches are here to guide you. We offer personalized coaching sessions, tailored to your specific needs and learning style.

Personal Coaching

In addition to academic coaching, we also offer personal coaching services. Life can be challenging, and sometimes we need guidance to navigate through difficult times. Our personal coaches are trained to help you identify your strengths, set realistic goals, and develop strategies to achieve them. We believe that everyone has the potential to be their best self, and we are here to support you on your journey.

Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what some of our satisfied clients have to say:

"I think this business, Finding Strengths, is really helpful for this generation. It's really important for people with so many upcoming businesses and start-up companies to understand how to work as a team. I have learned so much about myself knowing what my strengths are. When I first took the StrengthsFinder assessment, I was actually really surprised at the results and how it pertains to me. It's a part of me that doesn't come out very often that needed to in the workplace. Once Jeanie helped me to realize what my strengths are and how they could work with others, I started looking at people more on a strength-based approach--Realizing that everyone has something to offer, and that not all of us can be the same. Jeanie has some great teamwork techniques that are very hands-on and groundbreaking. She has a perception of him seeing how people work, their assets, and tailoring each activity to the group as it fits them. I would work with this company again in a heartbeat!" - Amber Rivette

"I want to acknowledge how grateful I am for you tutoring my son throughout his difficult high school years. He is applying for scholarships for UTI trade school and he is supposed to write an essay. I asked him if he knows how to write an essay and he said, 'Yes, Jeanie taught me.' Your work and passions make a difference. Thank you for making a difference in Sean's life." - Mother of a former special needs client

"Ms. Jeanie Hartranft with Finding Strengths is amazing! My son has fairly significant learning disabilities, and he struggles so much, but with Jeanie's guidance, he's been learning for the first time in 8 years! He's done a research paper, and he's really actually understanding math for the first time. He still struggles, but she has helped him every step of the way, and I actually think he can go on to public high school and even college now, when before her help, I wasn't sure that was possible. We owe everything to Ms. Jeanie Hartranft and Finding Strengths!" - J. Cunningham

"I am not someone who normally uses coaching services or inventories, but I am SO glad that I took the time to use the Strengths Finder inventory and meet with Jeanie. I am in the middle of switching careers, and although I am generally a pretty insightful person, the inventory revealed things that I did not know about myself and helped me to feel more confident that I will be able to succeed in my new career. Jeanie helped me to understand my strengths and my weak points in a way that helped me to feel free, rather than limited, by the awareness of both my strengths and the areas I am not as strong in. In addition, my husband took the inventory and Jeanie sat down with us and helped us to understand how we can play to our strengths in our marriage. She took one look at our strength summaries and explained dynamics we have been dealing with for six years of marriage! I feel so lucky to have had this opportunity to work with Jeanie. I understand myself better and feel more free and confident, both about myself and in my marriage. The experience was life-changing. Thank you, Jeanie!" - E. Fitzpatrick
