Leadership Vision is hosting live webinars in 2017!

Who You Should Partner with to Enhance your Strengths
At Leadership Vision, we believe Strengths are most alive and most impactful when they are experienced in community. We have the greatest potential to give life to ourselves and others when practicing our Themes of Strengths alongside others. But who should we partner with to enhance our Strengths, and how do we know who those partners should be? Here are three things you can do to answer that question.

Are You A Strengths Based Parent?
Recently, Joseph Valentine Dworak read the book “Strengths Based Parenting” by Dr. Mary Reckmeyer. It’s about how to apply the philosophy and methodology of StrengthsFinder to children.

Reckmeyer’s book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in unlocking the uniqueness of their children and teaches valuable lessons on parenting in a strengths based way.

As we begin 2017, we felt the need to revisit our Team Engagement Model to begin the year with an intention towards building strong, healthy teams.

CoCo Minneapolis. It’s Official, we’re in our first space. This is a very catalytic step for us. It was time to pull the trigger on getting a place to park our brains and build on what we have been doing so well for the past few years. Building strong teams. This was getting harder for us to do […]

Reading
2012 has been dubbed The Year of the Here by us at LVC. That means many things (post coming soon). One aspect is a commitment to reading good books about teamwork, strengths, leadership, business, human development and other stuff that informs the work we do.
