Why I am strengths coaching?
Who is Maz Lane?
Born and bred on a dairy farm in the Waikato, I’m a 5th-generation New Zealander, married to a wonderful man with four grown-up young people, three of whom are married, with four delightfully cheeky grandsons and two gorgeous granddaughters. I love people watching, relationship building, and self-improving, Trained and experienced as a school teacher with eighteen years home educating my kids, I now regularly ride my mountain bike, and work on my most recent project- a memoir. Watch out for it, it will be released soon.
For the last 13 years I have enjoyed watching the impact that Strength coaching has had on the lives of the individuals, partnerships and teams of those I have coached. It is incredible to see each one recognise, analyse and then use their innate talents to approach their challenges and goals with confidence.
I want to see successful families, businesses and communities made up of people who know and use their SPARK celebrate each other’s differences and their greatest contributions in their relationships and in their roles. I love the Clifton Strengths Tool as it provides a common language for these talents and strengths.
I am willing to step out - to be an example to others who are afraid, disheartened or feeling weak; so that you can do all you were made to do!
Who supports me?
I am accredited with Strengths Network, a Christchurch organisation that introduced Clifton Strengths (Strengthsfinder) to New Zealand, back in 2008. Since then they have trained and accredited hundreds of coaches who work in business, government, education, community and not for profit based organisations.
