About Mrs. Pfister
Welcome to the Bobcats Counseling page! This is my 17th year at Buena Vista and my 27th year as a school counselor. I received my Masters degree in School Counseling at the University of South Carolina ~~ GO COCKS! Before that, I earned a B.S. degree in Business Administration and Marketing.
I enjoy spending time with my family and pets, reading short stories, listening to music, and spending time outside-especially in our beautiful mountains. If you are new to our school, WELCOME!!! I can't wait to meet you and your family.
What about those five words at the bottom of my emails?
Our staff participated in training that helped us discover our strengths as a team member, and we list these at the bottom of our emails. According to the training, my top five strengths are:
Learner Responsibility Developer Relator Harmony
Learner: People exceptionally talented in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. The process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them.
Responsibility: People exceptionally talented in the Responsibility theme take psychological ownership of what they say they will do. They are committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.
Developer: People exceptionally talented in the Developer theme recognize and cultivate the potential in others. They spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from evidence of progress.
Relator: People exceptionally talented in the Relator theme enjoy close relationships with others. They find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal.
Harmony: People exceptionally talented in the Harmony theme look for consensus. They don’t enjoy conflict; rather, they seek areas of agreement.
