Look for Solutions in Unlikely Places
In this episode, we take a simple idea, attach it to a story, and ask you to reflect as it relates to your own leadership context.

What Different Strengths Pairings Sound Like
Sometimes at Leadership Vision, we play an informal game of Strengths pairings. Basically, we mash up two of the names of our Themes of Strengths to explain how they work together. We know that Strengths do not work alone. We never go one at a time with our Strengths. Rather, we try to tell a story and challenge people to see how pairs and combinations of Strengths can be discussed. In this article, Linda shares examples of Strengths pairings and how they look in different individuals.
