OUR DISTINCTIVE
Within every client engagement, we apply Strengths to People, on Teams and within Culture.
Knowing our Strengths is just the beginning.
The uniqueness of People is discovered through the ongoing exploration of talents. It is our objective to shape a Culture that intentionally aligns People around a Strengths philosophy. We believe that ultimately it is within a Team where People gain insight into others while sharpening their own Strengths’ potential, capacity and influence.
CLIENT EXPERIENCE
At Leadership Vision, we adapt and respond to the needs of our clients by delivering customized Strengths engagements.
Our Core Process is designed to take clients beyond an initial StrengthsFinder experience to create a deeper understanding of the unique behaviors of Strength that exist within themselves and others.
Our suite of Professional Services anchor a Strengths based approach to the changing dynamics within any organization. We collaborate with our clients to design and deliver a sustainable implementation strategy which meets the needs of their People, Teams, and Culture.

The Folds That Shape Us: Embracing Life’s Permanent Creases
In this episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, Dr. Linda and Brian Schubring explore the metaphor of “folds”—those permanent creases in our lives shaped by early experiences. From work ethic to limiting beliefs, our folds tell stories that influence how we lead and live. Discover how to name them, embrace them, and even refold them into something new. Tune in to reflect on the folds that have shaped your own story.
Unfolded Maps: Discover Your Inner Landscape of Leadership
In this episode of the Leadership Vision Podcast, Dr. Linda and Brian Schubring explore one of the central ideas of their book Unfolded: the metaphor of maps. Our maps represent our inner landscapes—our lived experiences, values, and relationships—and they hold both the well-traveled roads of habit and the hidden folds where growth emerges.
Together, we discuss how reflection, not just action, can unlock meaning from our stories. We look at how origin stories shape leadership, why seasons of life matter, and how mentors and guides can help us read our maps with fresh eyes. Brian and Linda remind us that our maps are not something to hide but to honor—with dignity, compassion, and curiosity.
Whether you’re a leader navigating change or someone seeking personal clarity, this conversation invites you to pause and ask: What does your map look like, and what story is it telling about you?
Work That Shapes Us: A Labor Day Reflection on Purpose and Leadership
In this short Labor Day reflection, we share an unexpected leadership insight inspired by the Benedictine monks’ philosophy of work. Drawing on the ancient motto Ora et Labora—“Pray and Work”—this episode explores how viewing our work as sacred, balanced, and community-driven can transform the way we lead and build team culture.
Whether you’re running a team, leading a company, or simply reevaluating your relationship with work, this episode invites you to reframe work as more than just a task—it’s a shaping force.
How Your Strengths Shape the Way You Communicate
How do your unique Strengths shape the way you communicate? In this episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, Nathan Freeburg, Dr. Linda Schubring, and Brian Schubring explore the deep connection between identity and communication. Drawing from decades of consulting experience and their book Unfolded, they reveal four shaping influences—family, culture, environment, and time in history—that define how we express ourselves and listen to others. You’ll hear real client stories, practical strategies for adapting your communication, and insights into why nonverbal cues matter just as much as words. Whether you’re leading a team, navigating relationships, or simply wanting to connect more effectively, this episode will help you communicate with greater clarity, empathy, and impact. Listen now and discover one change you can make in your next conversation.
