| Two FREE Resources for Understanding Strengths | 16 May 2022 | 00:04:06 | |
We have two new FREE resources available to help you better understand your Strengths. One is directed toward individuals, and the other is for teams. But using them together will help you get the most out of your Strengths. For Individuals - DOWNLOAD INDIVIDUAL INSIGHTS Now if you’ve been following us for any length of time, you know that our approach to interpreting Strengths is based on the behaviors of individuals, not a set of definitions found in a book. A definition doesn’t take into consideration your personality. Your Strengths are detected in your vocabulary, posture, emotions, presence, attitudes, and actions. Understanding that your Strengths come alive in you differently from someone else gives you the freedom to interpret your Strengths as a dynamic set of talents in light of your experiences, environment, and personality. Over the past 20+ years, we have taken this behavior-based approach to our psychometric of choice, CliftonStrengths®, and noticed three insights emerge from more than 50,000 conversations. These three insights can help unlock more of your uniqueness as an individual and better understand how you contribute to a team. So in this free download, we share these three insights, give you a question to reflect on for each one, then ask you to jot down some examples that you can share with a friend, colleague, or family member. This document not only gives you more insight, but will also help you leverage your Strengths to deepen your compassion, help you take courageous and vulnerable risks, and grow relational trust. For Teams - DOWNLOAD TEAM GUIDE At Leadership Vision we have a saying, “A team is anyone a leader has invited to the table.” But when the team gets to the table, then what? There is a reason your team is a team. Perhaps your team needs to accomplish some objectives or work on a project together. Maybe your team just needs to get along or get to know each other. This download contains a team-building exercise that is a simple practice to help you learn more about team members through relational questions and intentional conversations. It’s an abbreviated form of something we do with our client teams when working together in person or over Zoom. It includes some notes for facilitators, the discussion prompts, along with some reflection questions. Cohesive teams consist of people who understand themselves, their influence, and have a curio -

| Building a Thriving Team Culture: Unlocking the Power of Strengths-Based Approaches | 10 Jun 2024 | 00:27:43 | |
Unlock the secrets to creating a thriving team culture with insights from our founder, Brian Schubering. Have you ever wondered why some strengths-based approaches fail while others flourish? Brian shares his expert perspective on common pitfalls, like diving into strengths work without gauging if your team is ready. Learn the importance of mindfulness and securing supportive partners as you embark on integrating strengths into your environment. This episode is packed with best practices and lessons to help you persistently and thoughtfully embed strengths into your daily interactions. Understanding your strengths is crucial, but how can you gain new insights about them? We discuss the value of seeking feedback from those who know you well but can maintain an objective stance. Brian emphasizes structured conversations, starting with the strength you resonate with most, to receive affirmations and uncover hidden strengths. By doing so, you'll anchor your strengths into your behavior and interactions more effectively, enhancing both your personal growth and your team dynamics. Typecasting is a trap that can stifle team growth. Brian sheds light on why flexibility is essential to avoid pigeonholing team members based on their observed strengths. Recognize when it’s time to seek external support and explore the myriad of resources available to enhance your strengths journey. Finally, we highlight the importance of initiating open conversations within your team to foster a strengths-based culture.
