Great leaders are self-aware about their own strengths and encourage their teams to be as well. They harmonize everyone's strengths, including their own, so folks know when to lean in or rely on others. These leaders actively leverage strengths to achieve high performance, but it starts with being willing and curious about your strengths.Today, Brandon Miller and I talk about the GALLUP Clifton Strengths Finder - and I share a little about my results from 2016, and how they led to researching and writing The Empathy Edge! Brandon shares why you as a leader should care about strengths-based development, and the role emotional intelligence plays in it. We discuss the strength of empathy and how it influences organizational outcomes. And Brandon tells us about times when he's had to recommend decision makers use empathy to support their teams. We even talk about the shadow sides of some of the strengths. It's a fascinating discussion all you leaders and aspiring leaders will just love - and Brandon has a very special offer for all of you at the end, so stay tuned. Key Takeaways:Emotional intelligence, at its core, is thinking with our frontal lobe. It's just thinking logically, carefully and, at times, slowly, through situations.The strength of empathy and the dictionary definition of empathy are not the same thing. Even if you do not have the strength of empathy, you can be empathetic. Utilizing the strengths finder will allow your team to have a common language to talk about your strengths. "Any effective psychometric assessment gives the gift of self-awareness. I get to know myself and my best place, my worst place, and everything in the middle. If I can get to the point where I know myself that way, without judgment, I have climbed the ladder of emotional intelligence." — Brandon Miller About Brandon Miller, Author, Certified Strengths Coach, CEOBrandon Miller is one of the FIRST 7 Certified GALLUP Clifton Strengths Finder Coaches in the world.

After years of being a coach, Victor Mcguire saw first-hand the positive impact that coaching could have on individuals. But he also saw an opportunity gap and wondered how the lives of those from traditionally under-resourced communities would be affected if they received the same type of coaching as some of the top employees in Fortune 100 companies. That’s what led Victor to create Coaching for Everyone. Coaching for Everyone is on a mission to offer complimentary coaching and leadership support to traditionally underserved and under-resourced Black, Latinx, and Indigenous populations. They’re also striving to offer coaching fellowships to working BIPOC professionals interested in becoming a certified coach. I had the opportunity to chat with Victor about this mission and he also shared some great coaching tips along the way. About our guest: Dr. Victor McGuire has 30 years of leadership development experience within a variety of sectors and age groups. He is a Certified Professional Coach and Certified Strengths Coach, a facilitator, and speaker. Victor has a proven record of inspiring and transforming individuals and teams, tangibly impacting the overall workplace culture for multiple organizations. When he’s not activating the potential of others, he enjoys a great meal with his wife and chasing that little white ball around on the golf course.

Maureen Electa Monte was first introduced to strengths in a leadership class in 2006. She immediately started using strengths with her own grad students, with a focus on teams. She recently authored the book “Destination Unstoppable”, which discusses a model for leading, accelerating and fully harnessing the talent on a team. She is able to ignite the chemistry on teams by helping them understand their own and each teammate's CliftonStrengths. Providing a renewed energy and optimism. Maureen's primary work has been with sports teams, but she also works with business teams. The difference, she says, is the mindset of the coach and business leader. A coach knows he needs to invest in his players to win. A business leader doesn't always see it from that perspective. With a business leader she has to first help them understand why developing their team is a worthy investment for them.To learn more about becoming a Certified Strengths Coach at the Gallup Strengths Center: http://on.gallup.com/1i5OXhq.Gallup's Called to Coach is a live Webcast that targets current and prospective coaches to interact with Gallup experts and independent strengths coaches who have found success in strengths-based development.

On a recent Called to Coach, we spoke with Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, Lopamudra Das.Since childhood, Lopamudra was interested in self-discovery. Despite this keen interest, Lopa often struggled to understand her behavior. Lopa was introduced to the Strengths movement a few years ago -- and learning about and understanding her strengths has made her journey to self-discovery easier and more meaningful. Lopa found catharsis in her self-awareness through strengths -- it has helped her be comfortable with her natural talents. Lopa has translated her affinity for self-discovery into coaching. She loves helping people understand their key talents and then nurturing those key talents into productive strengths. For instance, Lopa had a client that felt constantly financially insecure -- despite his steady and successful job and diverse portfolio of investments. Lopa was confused about the contradiction between the client's fears and his actual financial reality until "I did a deep dive into his strengths and personal life." This client was dividing his time and resources between family members in multiple cities. The lack of quality time with individual family members caused him to live in the basement of some of his strengths -- Deliberative and Responsibility. The client constantly asked himself, "What can go wrong?" and he fixated on his income. As his coach, Lopa was able to speak to the client about his strengths and how best to be in the balcony of them. She showed him that he was financially sound and that he should spend longer periods of time with each family member and make less individual trips to each city. With that information, Lopa's client stopped obsessing about his finances and began to enjoy his life again.

On a recent Called to Coach we spoke with Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, Oscar Trimboli.To learn more about becoming a Certified Strengths Coach at the Gallup Strengths Center: http://on.gallup.com/1i5OXhq.Gallup's Called to Coach is a live Webcast that targets current and prospective coaches to interact with Gallup experts and independent strengths coaches who have found success in strengths-based development.Oscar built a successful career as a developer at Microsoft. One of his proudest achievements was the creation of Microsoft Protégé -- an experiential learning environment for students to gain insights and skills while working on real world projects. While at Microsoft, Oscar was promoted to a managerial position where he tailored development plans to each of his team members. A significant part of his new role involved discussing his team members' potential and opportunities for growth. He was so successful at improving his team's productivity and engagement that his boss recommended that Oscar consider personal coaching as a business opportunity. After extensively researching the possibility of starting his own consulting business focused on personal coaching, Oscar decided to make the transition and leave the corporate offices of Microsoft. It was at this time that he discovered the Clifton StrengthsFinder and the strengths movement -- and he was hooked. Oscar explained that he finally had a comprehensive language for the coaching and development he had done at Microsoft. He immediately incorporated strengths into the heart of his new consulting business. Since beginning his coaching business, Oscar has had the opportunity to work with fascinating people all over the world. One of his favorite strengths success stories was working with ultramarathon swimmer, James Pittar. Over the course of his lifetime, James has swam more than 24,000 miles -- nearly the circumference of the earth at its equator! But what's most remarkable is that James is blind. James contacted Oscar to coach him on his strengths and to help him write a book about his life. Oscar guided James through the booking writing process – he held him accountable to strict deadlines and worked with him on editing content. Oscar and James agreed that James's blindness would never be used as an excuse to not write or improve the book. Oscar explained that he would never have met an extraordinary person like James without becoming a strengths coach. To hear more about Oscar and his coaching experiences and expertise, watch the video above.Visit Gallup Strengths Center to browse our myriad of products and learning opportunities for strengths-based development.Continue the coaching conversation on Facebook and Twitter.
