Have you ever felt frustrated with a friend or colleague because their Strengths were different than yours? Maybe you didn’t have the language of Strengths, but there was something fundamentally different in how they communicated, organized, or related to the world from you.

Steph writes about one simple way to overcome this.

Today on the show, Nathan talks with Carrie Jones, the chief operating officer at Leadership Vision, about three things anyone can do to accept and appreciate their StrengthsFinder Themes.
What we are Grateful for at Leadership Vision in 2017
Thanksgiving, of course, is a natural time to experience gratitude.

Nathan asked a few members of our team to briefly share a few things they are grateful for this year. Below is a snapshot of their responses as they paused to reflect on our hectic and hurried lives. One thing we all realize is that we need more time for this type of reflection!
