Strengths conversation

A Strengths Conversation about Change

On this episode of the podcast, I’m having a Strengths conversation with my colleague Steph. More specifically, we’re having a “push” conversation. A “push” conversation is any conversation where you intentionally push strengths to the center. You can talk about everyday things but reference your Strengths and the Strengths of the other person intentionally. The idea is to practice the language of Strengths and to see them from another perspective and to help articulate your viewpoint around Strengths.

In this episode, you’ll hear Steph and I discuss how our Strengths enable us to deal with change. (The topic of change is not entirely random, as both Steph and I are going through a lot of it right now.) The theme of change is just one of eight controlling questions we use with our clients to form the basis of these conversations.
