A Conversation About How Strengths Help Us Navigate Conflict (Podcast)
On the podcast, you’ll get to hear Sara and I wrestle with how our Strengths help us navigate the often eerie but inevitable waters of conflict. You’ll hear us grapple with the idea of relational capital and how it helps or hinders the conflict process. We’ll also talk about how to know when to engage in conflict, and what to do if we notice our Strengths harming rather than helping move through conflict. We also talk quite a bit about our gut reactions to conflict, what to do with those gut-feelings, and how to direct that response to be one rooted in Strength.
A Conversation About How Your Strengths Help You Make Decisions (Podcast)
In this episode of the Leadership Vision Podcast, Nathan and Steph talk about how their Strengths help them make decisions. This was a tough one for both of them, and you’ll hear how they wrestle with how their Strengths inform their decision-making abilities. Luckily, there is never a shortage of decisions to evaluate. Take a listen and then think about how your Strengths lend themselves to your decision making.
A Conversation About How Your Strengths Help You Get Work Done (Podcast)
In this episode of the Leadership Vision Podcast, Nathan and Steph are talking about how their Strengths make them productive. Productivity is such a buzzword right now, so just think of it as how your Strengths help you get work done. This is a fascinating conversation, one in which Nathan learned not only about how he might become more productive (since Steph is the most productive person he knows) but also about why Steph does things the way she does them.
A Conversation About How Your Strengths Help You Collaborate (Podcast)
In this episode of the podcast, you’ll hear Logan and Nathan discuss how their Strengths help them to collaborate with others. Collaboration is defined as “the action of working with someone to produce or create something.” Everyone collaborates in one form or another every day. On small things and on big, we’re a species that is built to do this. Understanding our unique approach to collaboration is important if we want to do it well. Listen now and reflect on your own Strengths!
A Conversation About How Your Strengths Help You Stay Curious (Podcast)
On this episode of the podcast, I’m having a Strengths conversation with my colleague and our Director of Business Development, Logan Joyce. More specifically, we’re having what we call a “push” conversation. These are dialogues between two people where you intentionally push Strengths to the center. You can talk about everyday things but intentionally reference your strengths and the strengths of the other person so that you’re practicing the language of strengths. Practicing seeing things from another person’s perspective and practicing using Strengths to articulate your perspective.

Exploring the StrengthsFinder Theme of Harmony
Do you know those people who seem to always know what a team has in common? Have you met people that are calm in conflict and know just what to say to diffuse the tension in a group…or a family? Have a you met a very confrontational person who seems to always be stirring up conflict—but his real motive is to bring back peace and order? Do you know the people who innately know what pieces need to come together, or what notes need to be played to have the best result? The best sound? These people may have the strength of Harmony.
