Tip from: Vikki Luna – “The Little Miracle Book”

Born and raised in the Fresno/Clovis area, Kim Kennedy Hoff understood the blessings of small town life but became aware of a world-wide pandemic far earlier than the Covid crisis of 2020. Having always been fascinated with the dynamics of what motivates people, or allows them to be satisfied with mediocrity, Kim has focused much of her lifetime studying people, interpersonal relationships, motivations, patterns of behavior, the influence of media and social expectations. “We are missing out on our greatest callings as individuals because of the pandemic/crisis of self-confidence. We are Children of God, Ambassadors of Hope, the Body of Christ to one another until He returns! It’s time to understand WHY and HOW ‘The Joy of the Lord is our strength’ And… WHAT that means right now, today!

Kim Kennedy Hoff Bio:
Kim has three daughters Malia (27), Lauren (23) and Darah (17), is a graduate of Clovis High School and Fresno State, and spent much of her career as a marketing executive and photographer.

Being Resolute in the New Year

Leading with Strength and Joy in 2024

Topic: Leading with Your Strengths in the New Year
As the New Year is upon us, many of us start thinking about our resolutions and what we need to fix in our lives. But instead of focusing on the negatives, let’s shift our attention to our strengths. Research shows that what we focus on, we get more of. So, let’s focus on what we want more of – our strengths. We can multiply the awesomeness that’s already there and see where we end up at the end of the year. Perhaps the negatives will take care of themselves. Aly Brewer, a certified Martha Beck life coach and CliftonStrengths educator, can help you discover and amplify your God-given talents. She works with individuals and teams in the corporate sphere to create a culture of honor and unlock potential. Let’s make 2024 the year of focusing on our strengths and achieving our goals.
