How We Teach the Learning Community (Podcast)
Welcome to the next installment of the Leadership Vision Podcast, where we share our expertise in the discovery, practice, and implementation of StrengthsFinder.
Today on the show, I’m talking with our President and CEO, Brian Schubring in Part II of our three-part series about the Learning Community event, a culminating Team experience that integrates a day of Strengths learning, 1 to 1 conversations, and thoughtful observations shared through a visual narrative. We capture how an individual’s Strengths are used at that particular point in time, and share those insights in a unique way that not only gives the person we’re talking about more precise language to describe who they are but helps team members better understand what makes that person strong.
In this episode, Brian does quite a bit of teaching, and you’ll learn:
- How he taught the above image at a recent engagement
- How he arrived at the picture
- Examples of the person’s Strengths in action
- How they connect to the image drawn
We’ll describe the picture to you in detail, but click this link to see a high-resolution version so you can see exactly what we’re talking about.
Where We Were
To give some context on how and where this image was taught, we were working with a group of 18 leaders that were part of a year-long leadership development program at a huge organization here in the Twin Cities. All of the leaders in this program were people who have been in their careers for 15 – 20 years with proven leadership in the company.
Listen below to Brain explaining that process of creating one image for our learning community engagement:
