We want to inspire you to really think differently about the way you’re approaching your job, your parenting or family life, or community activities. And it starts with understanding your values.

Reflections on Growth & Change at Leadership Vision
This episode is a bit of a look back to look forward. In 2023, Leadership Vision will be shifting and getting more clear about what we do, what we offer to our clients, and how we help people understand and express their beauty and brilliance. We had a whole episode mapped out about our new direction when we realized that we should pause and take a moment to reflect on how we got to this point. In doing that, we came up with three questions for you to consider as you think about your contributions to your team. The first question is what stands out about this past year. How have you grown in the past year, and what contributions have you made?

We also share a brief activity to help you to start thinking about the different contexts of your Strengths. Enjoy!
Ways to Invest in your Leaders in 2023
As 2022 is now over, and all the hope and optimism of 2023 is standing before us, we wanted to take a moment to pause and reflect on three of our favorite podcast episodes from the past 12 months. Today’s episode contains three snippets from longer conversations focusing on helping leaders transform how they express their beauty and brilliance.
As we charge into the new year, we imagine a place where people feel connected and a certainty of purpose emerges. We believe people are the most important focus of attention and investment. As you think about what you want to accomplish this year and maybe what your team wants to accomplish, we’d love to be one of the many resources you engage in making your goals a reality.
The Four L Model of Leadership
On this episode of the podcast, Brian Schubring and I talk about what it takes to reach that next level of leadership fitness. We call it becoming Leadership Lean. During this time of year, January, many people—maybe even you—set goals, especially those involving fitness and other health-related pursuits. This could be exercising, eating better, trying to accomplish a specific achievement or milestone, or perhaps, just trying to incorporate more movement into your daily life. Whatever your goals, they all involve disciplined learning and unlearning of certain behaviors. This is true of anything you want to be better at, be it parenting, podcasting, or the pursuit of your lofty goals. We need to move beyond the space we’re currently in and move into an area that’s a little scary. In this episode, we explore and unpack what it takes to become Leadership Lean. Brian shares his four L model which includes Listening, Leaning, Learning, and Leading.
