How to Manage Temporary and Permanent Adaptations
In this episode, Brian and Nathan share an unscripted conversation about current life challenges and adaptation. We take one simple idea and run with it. In short, we talk about adaptation and wellbeing. We discuss some ideas about how to figure out what your business looks like, what your leadership looks like, what your family, relationships, and all kinds of other things look like as they relate to change and taking care of yourself. We also dive into a number of tips for managing adaptations whether they are permanent or temporary. Enjoy!
Is there such a thing as Strengths Balance?
There is one question we seem to get a lot as it relates to the top 5 StrengthsFinder Theme report: Is there such a thing as Strengths Balance? At Leadership Vision, we believe there is no such thing as ‘Strengths Balance’ or having the ‘right’ set of Strengths for a given job or leadership role. In this episode, we discuss our understanding of balance as it pertains to Strengths and how to shift the conversation from balanced or unbalanced to becoming the best version of you.
Strengths & Moral Conviction
In this episode of the Leadership Vision Podcast, we discuss how the language of Strengths can inform how our behaviors and convictions influence and shape others. We also investigate how our Strengths can help us understand how our moral convictions develop, how they evolve, and how they are expressed to other people. At the end of the episode, we share an activity helpful for anyone looking to dive deeper into their understanding of Strengths and moral conviction. Enjoy!

The Importance of Reflecting on Your Strengths

Why Your Strengths Don’t Look Like Their Strengths
At Leadership Vision, we apply a descriptive approach to understanding individuals’ Strengths. No one will ever operate in their Strengths in quite the way you do. You cannot be replicated! Your upbringing, family structure, and culture all have a profound impact on the way your Strengths have developed in you. This is why your Strengths may not look like the same Strengths of others.
