MBA, CSPTX, US
A thought leader on the forefront of the "Strengths Revolution" helping individuals, teams and companies maximize their innate potential.

Candace Fitzpatrick is president of CoreClarity, Inc., a company focused on uncovering the core competencies of individuals, teams and organizations. In addition to developing and delivering learning programs to identify and maximize the innate strengths of the participants, she works with organizational leadership to not only promote but enable cultural change from the grassroots level up.

CoreClarity has been on the forefront of the strengths revolution that was boldly declared in 2001 by Marcus Buckingham and Don Clifton in their best-selling book, Now, Discover Your Strengths. A thought leader, who has expanded the understanding and teaching of the results of the StrengthsFinder® assessment, Candace has personally worked with thousands of individuals and hundreds of teams to help them articulate their unique value proposition. Clients include Texas Instruments, AT&T, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Kansas City, Duke Energy, Procter & Gamble, Reliant Healthcare Partners, and Southern Methodist University, among others.

Prior to creating CoreClarity, Candace was co-founder of CRESA, writing and implementing the business plan that created this innovative alliance of like-minded corporate real estate service providers. She served as Executive Director from its inception in 1993 until her retirement in November 2003 when CRESA Partners presented her with their "First Citizen" Lifetime Achievement Award.

A lifelong learner, Candace earned an MBA with honors from the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University and a BA in Physics from Texas A&M University. She is a trained mediator and was a licensed real estate broker in Texas for over 25 years.

Candace is married and currently lives in Plano, Texas. She enjoys nature, reading, traveling, computers, photography and bicycling. One of her goals is to visit a country for every year of life she spends on the planet.

Early in her career, Candace made a conscious decision that work should be fun. When a friend challenged her to distill the essence of her passion into five words or less, she responded (after two weeks of contemplation and soul searching) with: I turn dreams into reality. Today she is having fun helping others turn their dreams into reality - and in turn is realizing her own.
