Reframing the Way We Ask Four Common Strengths Related Questions (podcast)
In this episode of the Leadership Vision Podcast, Brian Schubring and Nathan Freeburg talk about the discipline of interpreting and understanding Strengths. They talk about why the way we teach others to explain and understand Strengths is different from how we’ve traditionally been taught how to learn and how to reframe four common Strengths related questions.
Understanding the Link between Fear and Courage (podcast)
On this episode of the Leadership Vision Podcast, Carrie Jones and Nathan Freeburg discuss the link between fear and courage, and how both are necessary. We wrestle with the appropriate role that fear plays in helping us become courageous, but also how fear can paralyze us and prevent us from reaching our potential. Fear is temporary; regret is forever. We also share a prompt at the end to encourage you to act more courageously, so listen now!
What Do Your Strengths Need to Thrive and to Survive? (podcast)
On this episode of the Leadership Vision podcast, Brian Schubring, our founder and president talks about how to understand what our Strengths need to thrive and what they need to survive. We have found that you’ve reached a deeper level of awareness when you’re able to articulate exactly what your Strengths need in both of these situations. Thriving and surviving may seem like contradictory or even opposite states of being, but actually, we’ve found them to be more similar than different.
Applying Strengths to Family of Origin (podcast)

To do this, we share five steps that will help us acknowledge the role our past has played in shaping our present and future. We’ll also share some tips for giving it an appropriate place in our current life, so listen now!
How One CEO Built a Strengths Based Company (podcast)
The podcast today is the second part of our two-part series about creating a strengths-based employee experience. In the previous episode, episode 33, I talked with Linda Schubring about the nitty-gritty of what she is doing at a local company, Aeritae Consulting group, to create that culture rooted in what is right about people. In this episode, you’ll get to hear from the CEO and co-founder of that company, Michael Finlon. Michael talks from his perspective, about what it takes to build and sustain a Strengths-Based culture. We talk about why he chose Strengths to begin with, and why they have stuck with it for all these years. He also shares some advice for other leaders who want to build their own Strengths culture, as well as the struggles, and tremendous benefits, of defending this work.
