Master Facilitator certification
This two-day online immersion course with follow-up activities provide Master Facilitator certification in the Core Gift Discovery™ process.
The 'gifts' movement is in full-force in business, helping professions and community development. And now there is a next-generation tool that takes gifts to an even deeper and more productive level.
Compatible with research in positive psychology, purpose-driven behavior in individuals and organizations, and motivation, the Core Gift Discovery™ tool utilizes a unique facilitated process that results in a person developing an action statement that details their primary life purpose (Core Gift) and their 3-5 other gifts that most contribute to that purpose.
Different than the usual strengths or personality inventories, the result doesn’t compare you with others, and doesn’t use general descriptors of your traits in predetermined areas. Instead, it defines how you are absolutely unique from all other humans, and how you intend to bring that uniqueness to everything around you.
The result is often surprising to the person, and can have a powerful impact on understanding past behavior, current difficulties, and point a clear path to future positive action in all parts of life. It can be used to guide career choices, education, job satisfaction, discover and provide solutions to root causes of relationship issues, and analyze work behaviors (positive and negative).
"The certification training is the starting point for orienting your mind and heart towards a new gift culture. For those who want to make a real difference in their community – this certification training is the place to begin!”
Jennifer Leslie, Executive Director, St Mary’s Association for Community Living, Ontario, Canada

"There is a really special moment I get to see, when a young adult discovers their gift. It’s like I am listening through my eyes—I can only describe it as a look of hope. They physically light up when it clicks with them that they have a purpose to their life. It comes with the realization that their gift cannot be taken from them, regardless of image, history or present circumstances. It actually doesn’t need to be spoken. It is palpable, right there in the room."
Barb Turk, Community Living Thunder Bay, Canada

Did you know?
- One of the top drivers of employment motivation and retention is when an employee makes a significant link between their Core Gift, their job description, and the mission of the organization.
- Many relationship issues start out as gift-related conflicts and turn into generalized anger and resentment over time.
- The behavior we use when we are angry is often the flip-side of our Core Gift.
- Our gifts are often not the abilities we get most complimented for.
- A Core Gift is never a job. It’s the part of a job we are most passionate about doing and learning more about.
- Leadership trouble is often due to overuse of their Core Gift at the expense of other equally important tasks.
- Your Core Gift is the same your entire life, but your understanding of it and how you give it changes frequently.
- You give your Core Gift in all parts of your life, often without knowing it.
"Thank you for a wonderful life changing 2 days. I had no idea how deep and transformative it would be. It feels like my whole life is a big bookcase, that's just been re-catalogued in a way which makes a whole lot more sense."
Maureen Rowcliffe-Quarry, UK
