LWOTW 024: Teaching to Their Strengths
Before she became a homeschool mom (unexpectedly) Shawna Wingert was a corporate consultant teaching big-league companies how to maximize employee productivity and boost morale by focusing on making the best use of employee strengths rather than trying to correct weaknesses.

And now, with two nearly-grown sons of her own and loads of experience coaching other moms, she can confidently say, that yes, it does!
