In this episode of Strengths Applied, we welcome guest coaches Damian Zikakis and Louann McCurdy back to the show to dive into "workplace onboarding." We begin by sharing our personal experiences and how our own talents shaped those moments. We also dive into the lessons learned when onboarding is done with intention and is human-centered...and when it's done in ways that leaves people feeling lost or undervalued. We all agree that using a tool like the CliftonStrengths assessment to identify a person's talents can transform the way new employees are welcomed into their roles. This episode offers practical ideas for using CliftonStrengths to make onboarding better for everyone, whether you're a leader, coach, or a new hire. As Gallup-Certified Strengths Coaches, we're passionate about helping people feel seen, supported, and set up for success from day one. We explore how to support those new employees who are struggling to be seen (like remote and hybrid employees), and how new managers can use their strengths to create meaningful onboarding experience for themselves and their teams, even when the company doesn't have a formal process.

From Wall Street to Main Street, the latest on the markets and what it means for your money. Updated regularly on weekdays, featuring CNBC expert analysis and sound from top business newsmakers. Anchored by CNBC's Jessica Ettinger.

SummaryThis lecture discussion examines the dual dimensions of due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments: procedural due process and substantive due process. Procedural due process ensures that the government follows fair methods before depriving individuals of life, liberty, or property. This includes notice and an opportunity to be heard, with requirements varying by context according to the Mathews v. Eldridge balancing test. Substantive due process protects certain fundamental rights from government intrusion regardless of the procedures used. The lecture traces the doctrine from its controversial origins in the Lochner era to its evolution in protecting rights related to privacy, autonomy, and family, including landmark decisions like Griswold v. Connecticut, Roe v. Wade, Lawrence v. Texas, and Obergefell v. Hodges. It also discusses the role of selective incorporation, which applies most of the Bill of Rights to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. The lecture concludes by reflecting on due process as both a safeguard of individual liberties and a structural principle of fairness in American constitutional law.Key TakeawaysTwo Branches of Due Process:Procedural: Ensures fairness in how the government acts.Substantive: Limits what the government may do, protecting fundamental rights.Procedural Due Process:Triggered when life, liberty, or property is at stake.Assessed using the Mathews v. Eldridge three-part balancing test.Applied in both civil and criminal contexts (e.g., Goldberg v. Kelly, Hamdi v. Rumsfeld).Substantive Due Process:Protects deeply rooted rights not explicitly listed in the Constitution.Key cases: Griswold v. Connecticut, Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, Lawrence v. Texas, Obergefell v. Hodges.Fundamental rights trigger strict scrutiny; non-fundamental rights require only rational basis review.Criticism and Defense:Critics: Lacks textual foundation; invites judicial activism.Defenders: Essential to protect liberty from majoritarian overreach.Selective Incorporation:Most of the Bill of Rights applies to states via the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause.Ensures nationwide uniformity in core constitutional protections.Rule of Law Values:Due process also ensures clarity, predictability, and fairness in law (e.g., Papachristou v. Jacksonville)

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 16, 2025 is: abject • AB-jekt • adjective Abject usually describes things that are extremely bad or severe. It can also describe something that feels or shows shame, or someone lacking courage or strength. // Happily, their attempts to derail the project ended in abject failure. // The defendants were contrite, offering abject apologies for their roles in the scandal that cost so many their life savings. // The author chose to cast all but the hero of the book as abject cowards. See the entry > Examples: “This moment ... points toward the book's core: a question of how to distinguish tenderness from frugality. Is ‘Homework' about a child who took a remarkably frictionless path, aided by a nation that had invested in civic institutions, from monetary hardship to the ivory tower? Merely technically. Is it a story of how members of a family, protected by a social safety net from abject desperation, developed different ideas about how to relate to material circumstance? We're getting there.” — Daniel Felsenthal, The Los Angeles Times, 9 June 2025 Did you know? We're sorry to say you must cast your eyes down to fully understand abject: in Middle English the word described those lowly ones who are rejected and cast out. By the 15th century, it was applied as it still is today to anything that has sunk to, or exists in, a low state or condition; in modern use it often comes before the words poverty, misery, and failure. Applied to words like surrender and apology, it connotes hopelessness and humility. The word's Latin source is the verb abicere, meaning “to throw away, throw down, overcome, or abandon.” Like reject, its ultimate root is the Latin verb jacere, meaning “to throw.” Subject is also from jacere, and we'll leave you with that word as a way to change the subject.

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Today's episode was such a blast. I'm talking with none other than the amazing Alan Tudyk! Alan is currently starring as Harry Vanderspeigle in the new season of Resident Alien. He also plays K-2SO in Andor, Hoban ‘Wash' Washburne in Firefly, Wat in A Knight's Tale and so so many iconic voice roles, including Valentino in Wish and the Duke of Weselton in Frozen. We have so much fun in this conversation and I loved learning more about Alan's journey from doing stand-up in a Holiday Inn, to Juilliard dropout, to working with some of the biggest names in Sci-Fi. Plus, we get to bond over our experience in the Star Wars universe and what it's like to be be part of a franchise that fans desperately want to revive (Battlestar for me, Firefly for him). Be sure to stick around after the conversation for the Hindsight, where I get together with my producer Jeph to talk over the episode, talk about upcoming convention appearances and answer fan questions from the Mail Sack!
