About

Kessler Foundation Strength Identification and Expression (KF-STRIDE) is a set of tools that help individuals understand their own unique strengths, and then learn to cultivate them in their daily life. Whether you need help getting a job, being a better parent, or just lifting your mood, KF-STRIDE can teach you easy strategies to begin to recognize how to use your strengths to improve your life.

Each KF-STRIDE tool (KF-STRIDE Into the Interview, KF-STRIDE Into Work, KF-STRIDE into Parenting) has it’s own set of lessons. Some of these can be done alone or with a friend, teacher, parent or coach. If you have any questions about the program, or how you can use it, please contact Dr. Helen Genova (hgenova@kesslerfoundation.org)
