testimonials

Our firm has benefitted from over 8 years of coaching in both all employee and breakout team settings from Henriet, and I am an outspoken fan and referrer of her services.  As a leader in our company, it has become imperative for the success of our teams to lean into Henriet’s work because we are living proof that our teams are more effective when intentionally structuring our business around the strengths of each individual, than if we don’t.  We have adopted the language of Myers Briggs & Strength finders into our everyday work, and it has become woven into the fabric of our culture which our employees have come to love.  I am an outspoken advocate of implementing Henriet’s work into any business, and am happy to provide reference anytime.

Reviewing my strengths with [Henriet] helped me gain insights into what kind of position and environment I'm more likely to thrive in. I feel much more confident now going into this new job. 

In 2013, we enlisted Semper Vita Institute to help our staff understand more about personality differences and best practices in communication in the workforce. The information presented by Henriët Schapelhouman was informative and effective.Best information that I’ve used in over 30 years of managing people. We all learned more about how each other responds and what “buttons” work best to get results and what doesn’t work as well. 

As the owner of the business, learning more about my own views and reactions caused me to modify my approach based on how it is best received. Results are what matters, and knowledge about personality traits is key in getting your staff on the same page and understanding the vision and direction. As our staff grew, in 2015 we had Semper Vita Institute come back to reinforce our staff and teach new employees what we had previously learned.

Without question, these are some of the best tools in our toolbox.
Highly highly recommended!

Henriët Schapelhouman came to speak at our annual meeting and she was a hit!  We had nothing but positive feedback from all the participants.  Henriët was a dynamic speaker and kept the audience engaged throughout the whole session.  Everyone was talking about her and the Strengths Finder assessment for the rest of the week!  The team learned a lot about themselves, how to interact well with their coworkers, and how to play to their strengths in the workplace and beyond.  

After the meeting, everyone went back to their respective offices to get back to life as usual.  Our team managers have reported throughout the year that what they learned from the Strengths Finder assessment and Henriët’s talk was the most valuable insight for their work with the longest lasting impact from the conference.

I highly recommend Henriët as a speaker and Strengths Finder expert.  She was humorous, insightful, practical, and lively.  Our team loved her whole session and took away many concrete applications from her time with us.  

We asked Henriet to lead a class on Strength finders for our Management team at Salish.  Henriet was responsive, flexible and an extremely effective facilitator.  Our Managers left feeling energized and inspired after learning how to better understand their personality in the workplace as well as their coworkers.
