Unlocking the Power of Your Unique Strengths
Think back to the moment when you first received your unique StrengthsFinder results. What was that experience like for you?
For me, I remember so vividly the moment I got my results back. I read the descriptions for the theme of ideation and felt like wow, for the first time, this, this thing, this tool, this assessment, has finally put words to what I had already known about myself for my entire life. It was extremely freeing and gave me permission to stop trying to be someone I wasn’t.
Whether you’ve recently taken StrengthsFinder assessment or are a little further along on your journey, this episode is a good reminder to never stop being curious about the things that make you, you. The language of Strengths is fantastic when it comes to communicating things about yourself that help you stand out.

3 Essential Things for Tackling the Needs of Your Team
Every team that has ever existed has been presented with some sort of challenge. In fact, some people might argue that the sole purpose of a team is to tackle problems and overcome challenges. While there are many great resources on how to build a successful team, we think there are really only three essential elements for teams to tackle problems and thrive. In this episode, we discuss how to embrace compassion, courage, and connection to build successful teams. We also share a few tips for implementing these essential things on your team.
Are Your Team Building Efforts Effective?

If you find yourself constantly pounding your head against that proverbial wall in frustration, there might be a couple of things that you’re missing.
In this episode, we share some simple things that will help you invest in better team building this year, and hopefully avoid wasting all of our time.
How to Give & Receive Feedback
Giving and receiving feedback can often be the catalyst to create long-lasting, sustainable change in attitude and disposition within an organization or culture. In this episode, we discuss how leaders can prepare to give and receive feedback, as well as the five norms of giving and receiving feedback to others. Enjoy!
How to Structure Feedback for Teams
Most leaders know the importance of giving feedback to their team but we’ve heard time and time again how hard that can actually be. One reason we’ve found for this is that the environment of an organization sometimes isn’t set up to support constructive feedback. If you want to use feedback to help others grow, change, and transform on your team, you need to set up a structure.
In this episode, we discuss tips for setting up a structure and environment that is conducive to giving and receiving feedback. We also share a few tips to help you build structural supports on your team to make feedback more effective. Enjoy!
