Spark Engagement's Services
Sound Familiar?
Engagement Essentials is for you if:
- you run an engagement survey every year, and the results come back without a clear next step
- you’ve worked hard to hire good people, and you want them to stay and bring their best
- you want every leader on your team working from the same understanding of what employees need
CliftonStrengths for Teams is for you if:
- your leadership team works hard, but they don’t share a language for how each person works best
- your team is new, recently merged, or has a new leader at the top, and people are still figuring each other out
- your team has taken a strengths assessment before, and you want it to show up in how you actually work together
CliftonStrengths Coaching is for you if:
- a strong leader on your team is ready for what’s next and wants to grow
- you’re carrying something at work that you’d rather not figure out alone
- you want a leader stepping into a bigger role to have someone in their corner
Not sure which of these fits your team? That's what a conversation is for.
Service Descriptions
One 3-Hour Session
You can feel it when a team is engaged. People speak up, help each other, and care how the work turns out. That comes from twelve specific needs, identified through decades of Gallup research: things like knowing what’s expected of you, having what you need to do your job, and knowing someone at work cares about you. When leaders know what those needs are, they know exactly where to put their effort.
This session is designed for a leadership team that wants everyone working from that same understanding of what employees need.
Three hours, in two parts. The first provides the current state of engagement and its impact on the employee, the product or customer, and the organization. The second names the twelve things every employee needs to do their best work, and invites each leader to look at their own engagement first, as a way to understand the engagement of the people they lead. Leaders will learn to support their own engagement through the Notice It, Name It, Spark It method and start the journey to support the engagement of those they lead.
Two 3-Hour Sessions
Every team is made of people who do their best work in different ways. When everyone can name those differences, decisions get easier and friction gets smaller.
This personalized, in-depth training is designed for the team that wants a shared language for how they work, because understanding yourself and the people beside you changes how a team communicates, decides and gets things done.
Two three-hour sessions, delivered as two half days or one full day. The first session names what each person naturally brings, and gives the team the words for it. The second puts that language to work on the real things: how decisions get made, how work gets divided, where the friction actually comes from. The second session is for intact teams, after the first.
Everyone takes the full CliftonStrengths 34 assessment ahead of time.
Six+ 1-Hour Individual Sessions
For the leader who is ready for what's next, or who is carrying something they'd rather not work out alone.
Every engagement starts with the full CliftonStrengths 34 assessment, so we're working with all of it, not just the top five. Then six virtual sessions over about six months, an hour each. There's no fixed curriculum. Each session is shaped by what you're actually facing. After the foundation, we continue month to month for as long as it's useful.
What It Costs
CliftonStrengths Coaching $2,500 to begin, which includes your full CliftonStrengths 34 assessment and six sessions. $400 per session after that. Coaching is virtual. If you're in the Milwaukee area, we can discuss meeting in person instead.
CliftonStrengths for Teams $6,000, plus $100 per person for assessments and materials.
Engagement Essentials $3,000. Materials included for up to 25 people, then $10 per person.

What People Are Saying
"Karin joined our strategy planning meeting to help the team gain a deeper understanding of our individual strengths and how they complement one another. Throughout the sessions, we kept our strengths front and center, recognizing and celebrating how each person's unique talents contributed to our goals. By the end, the team felt more connected, energized, and unified in purpose."
Anne Baehnman, Corporate Communication Manager, URUS Group
"Karin came in exceptionally prepared and created an environment that was engaging, thoughtful, and genuinely energizing. Our team didn't just learn about their strengths, they learned how to apply them to communicate better, collaborate more effectively, and perform at a higher level both individually and as a group."
Dr. Krysti Wick, CEO and Founder, River Shores Chiropractic
"One of the most valuable takeaways from my personal coaching sessions with Karin was the opportunity to identify my key strengths and become more aware of my areas for improvement. This self-awareness has been instrumental in shaping my leadership approach and has allowed me to leverage my talents more effectively."
Sean Fagundes, Chief Technology Officer
The SPARK Leadership Development Series™
Some teams arrive here after a single session, having seen what strengths or engagement work does and wanting to know what else is possible. Others come knowing from the start that they want a sustained partnership rather than a day. Both land in the same place.
SPARK is ten sessions for an intact leadership team, delivered over a year or two. It's built as a developmental journey, because emotional intelligence develops in a sequence. You become aware of yourself. Then you learn to manage yourself. Then you can read other people accurately. Only then can you lead them well. Each stage opens up the one that follows it, which is why a year of this does something a day of it can't.
Running alongside that is the practical side. Giving feedback people can actually hear. Knowing what your employees need and how to give it. Setting goals that fit how your team is genuinely built. Leadership is both a mindset and a skill set, and the series develops both at once, one stage at a time.
The SPARK Leadership Development Series™ Progression
S — See Yourself Clearly. Self-awareness. Strengths named, and how the team's strengths fit together.
P — Plan Your Impact. Self-management. Values, the armor we put on under pressure, and goals that match how you're built.
A — Align Your Actions with Impact. Social awareness. How your behavior lands on other people, and leading through strengths rather than around them.
R — Rally Engagement. Relationship management. What employees need, and how a leader gives it.
K — Keep Thriving. The fifth stage is mine, and it's the reason the rest holds. Resilience, wellbeing, and habits that survive a hard year.
CliftonStrengths for Teams and Engagement Essentials are both part of this series, so a team that has done either one has already completed that part of it. Everything you've invested credits toward the series as long as you commit within six months of your first session.
