Three Keys to Hosting a Strengths Conversation
The Strengths conversation is at the heart of what we do at Leadership Vision. It is both art and science. It’s structured yet organic. There are rules, there are suggestions, and there’s a whole lot of room to go with your gut, but it is a proven process for helping people to understand what makes them unique. If we had to synthesize all the things that we’ve learned about Strengths conversations over the past 20 years, working with Strengths in the past 10 years of training others, it comes down to three things. In this episode, we share three keys to hosting a successful and generative Strengths conversation. Even if you haven’t been trained in Strengths, they’re great reminders for all of us as we converse with anyone.
Do Strengths Change Over Time?
Do Strengths change over time? Today on the podcast, we begin to answer this question and provide some additional insights that may help you answer this question for yourself.
The Importance of Context and Strengths
Do you think that your Strengths change depending on the context? In this episode, you’ll hear a few minutes of an old interview with Brian Schubring, our president and founder of Leadership Vision. We discuss the role of context in Strengths and he goes into some detail that really gets at the heart of what our Strengths Communicator Training is all about. Join our next Strengths Communicator Training cohort in September 2022!

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.
