The Power of Reflection (podcast)
Today on the Leadership Vision Podcast, we’re talking with Carrie Jones, one of our consultants, and COO here at Leadership Vision. You may remember her Strengths Question from a few weeks ago when she asked us to reflect on a person who, or place that has shaped who we are. Today you’ll get to hear her answer to that and reflect on your own life experiences.
Expressing the Identity of your Team Through Image and Metaphor (podcast)
Today on the Leadership Vision podcast, we’re talking about the power of symbol and metaphor as a backdrop to helping you understand the power that can exist in a team setting. As you’ll soon hear, the Leadership Vision logo comes from Notre Dame, so this conversation here was spurred by the recent tragic events of the great cathedral. We’ll get into that a little bit, but our president Brian Schubring and I will mostly be talking here today about the symbol that our company uses to inform the work we do. We’ll also issue a challenge at the end for you to contemplate a symbol or metaphor that best represents your team.

How to take a Strengths Based Approach to Building Organizational Culture
Culture is important. Be that in a family, business, or informal organization (like a 4H club or book club). It leads to greater clarity of purpose and value. Without it, team members can quickly become disengaged or worse. But where does it begin?
We spend a lot of time at work. We can all name environments where there has been great fit culturally, and we can all name environments where the life seemed sucked out of you. Strengths can be used as a way to better understand what each individual can contribute to the culture.
Strengths and Self-Affirmation… Why We Need New Perspective
Using our awareness of StrengthsFinder themes for self-affirmation is a great place to start.
