Unveiling the Essentials of Leadership: Cultivating Trust and Influence in Team Dynamics
In this episode, we deliver the first of a two-part series (originally aired as one episode) where we were guests on the Access Ideas podcast with Janna Stam. We dive deep into the nuances of leadership influence, communication dynamics, and trust’s intricate nature.
Janna led us through an introspective journey, questioning what these terms mean in our lives and work today and how they have evolved. Linda shared that her views on trust are like a sense of belonging and reliability, while Brian discussed the ongoing process of becoming a student of leadership. We also challenge listeners with questions about building trust in ourselves and our teams. How do we balance self-trust with instilling trust in others?
Join us for this enlightening discussion about leadership, communication, and trust, and discover how these elements intertwine to shape our professional and personal lives.
Please tune in next week for part two of this conversation, where we dive a little bit deeper into some ideas about communication, listening, and building a healthy team culture.

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.

Is there such a thing as Strengths Balance?

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.
