Everywhere you look these days, you can find articles sharing why focusing on your strengths is more valuable than improving your weaknesses. Using your signature strengths in your role means you can be energized instead of drained, engaged instead of bored, and successful instead of struggling. Bree knew she wasn't using her strengths in her draining, repetitive role, but she wasn't sure how to step into a position that truly fit her unique gifts. On this live coaching call, Scott helps her build a plan for revealing and reinforcing her signature strengths in her upcoming interview. Listen to learn the 3 tactics that will help potential employers accurately perceive your strengths and the value you bring to their organization.

The new company monitors public governmental meetings, from school boards to the Supreme Court. (Full disclosure: I'm a crowdfunding investor in Citizin Portal.)Soar is a parent company Paul founded to develop the proprietary AI engine that underlies Citizen Portal and other companies in the works. “Our vision for PURE AI is an acronym for personalized–you ought to be able to control the AI and design it according to your needs–uplifting–it ought to be wonderful to interact with and joyful to use–and then responsible and ethical,” Paul says. “A lot of companies talk about responsible AI and ethical AI, but we like the personalized and uplifting as well.”Paul shares the vision for Citizen Portal:The vision of Citizen Portal is to use AI to empower citizens to become informed and engaged about every issue they care about at the local, state, and federal level. If you think about the difficulty of being a citizen right now–do we trust our leaders? Do we know what's going on? Are we happy with the $34 trillion debt? I mean, there are lots of issues that make you feel like the country is not going in the right direction.Paul notes that part of the lack of trust is the rapid decline in local journalism over the past 20 years or so. Two or three decades ago, local papers had reporters at virtually every public meeting. That is no longer true. Citizen Portal can monitor all public meetings that are accessible digitally–which is a vast majority today.Citizen Portal is now conducting a crowdfunding raise under Regulation Crowdfunding via StartEngine.Paul shares his thoughts about crowdfunding:I literally love the American Jobs Act from 2012–finally, the SEC in 2016 launched the rules for crowdfunding. But I love the idea that average people can invest in a startup company that has a lot of promise, and obviously, billions of dollars have now been raised across the industry.Paul will deliver a keynote address in the opening session of SuperCrowd24 on April 17. To learn more about the offering, visit startengine.com/citizenportal.Paul has built Soar to take advantage of his superpower, ideation, enabling him to apply the core technology across a broad suite of applications.AI Episode Summary1. Paul Allen, the founder of Ancestry.com, is introduced as a "rock star entrepreneur" and is currently working on a new venture called Citizen Portal.2. Citizen Portal is an AI-driven platform designed to empower citizens to become informed and engaged on issues at the local, state, and federal levels, addressing the decline of traditional media coverage.3. The platform has imported and transcribed 600-700,000 hours of public meetings, making the content searchable and accessible to citizens.4. Paul's vision is to fill the void left by the diminishing newspaper industry by giving citizens firsthand access to government proceedings and facilitating a new generation of informed citizens.5. The ethical AI model used at Soar, called PURE AI, focuses on creating AI that is Personalized, Uplifting, Responsible, and Ethical.6. Paul plans to launch around 15 corporations in the next 2-3 years, including Faith Portal AI for religious content, Learning Portal, and Workplace AI Portal, aimed at improving human capability and decision-making.7. Family and Friend Portals are also in the pipeline to help enhance relationships, countering the rise in loneliness, stress, and isolation exacerbated by platforms like Facebook.8. Citizen Portal is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine to further develop the platform and strengthen democracy.9. The platform aims to create a personal voter scorecard by indexing content from elected officials and opposition candidates, providing personalized, issue-based insights for voters.10. Paul attributes his success as an entrepreneur to his superpower of "ideation," the ability to come up with new ideas, which he pairs with executing strengths and building teams to bring ideas to reality.How to Develop Ideation As a SuperpowerPaul is a primary reason we call the show and the newsletter “Superpowers for Good.” An expert in personal strength development, Paul and I–friends for decades–met for lunch four or five years ago, and he explained how he appreciated the superpowers questions I asked guests. That ultimately led to writing the book, Superpowers for Good, and the show's rebranding.Paul shared his struggle with his ideation superpower in the early days of the World Wide Web: I had what I called dotcom syndrome. That is, for any word in the English language, I would just close my eyes and put a .com on it, and boom, a business model would pop into my head. Here's what the product or service could be. I bought a high-speed satellite dish in 1995 in Provo, Utah. I was probably the first person [there] to have high-speed internet. I would stay up till 2 or 3 in the morning studying thousands of other dot coms to find out their marketing strategy, their product strategy, what niches they were in, and how were they getting funded. I had a folio knowledge base with over 3,000 copy-and-paste things about what I discovered about internet companies.Paul advises changemakers: “Don't take advice from other people unless that advice lets you play to your strengths.”By following Paul's example, you can strengthen your ideation ability. With practice, you, too, could make it a superpower that would enable you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that, as Paul suggests, research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfilePaul Allen (he/him):CEO & Board Member, Citizen PortalAbout Citizen Portal: Citizen Portal is a non-partisan, AI-powered platform with $426,200 in pre-seed funding and a seasoned leadership team aiming to revolutionize civic engagement, revive government transparency, and transform American democracy. Citizen Portal is on a mission to transform democracy with an AI-powered approach. We are reshaping civic engagement and education by providing Americans with up-to-date, accurate, newsworthy information straight from the source. Citizen Portal utilizes AI to index, transcribe, and summarize meetings and hearings at all levels of government. By providing access to video recordings of school boards, local, state, and federal meetings, Citizen Portal helps to empower citizens, journalists, and advocates to know what is being said by their elected officials and done in their government.Website: citizenportal.aiX/Twitter Handle: @CitizenPortalAiCompany Facebook Page: fb.com/profile.php?id=100093227401453Other URL: startengine.com/citizenportalBiographical Information: Paul Allen is a visionary tech entrepreneur and evangelist driven by a desire to help individuals live their best lives. Paul has founded eight companies. He calls himself a “platform entrepreneur” since his products are usually built on top of the latest tech platform or wave, such as CD-ROM, the World Wide Web, mp3 audio, or Facebook. For the past several years, Paul's focus has been using machine learning and artificial intelligence to help individuals and organizations reach their full potential.In 1990, Paul founded Infobases, whose mission was to digitize and publish the world's most important books on CD ROM with a full-text search engine. This endeavor led directly to Ancestry.com—Paul's best-known company—which sought to gather and publish the world's genealogy records, family trees, and memories on the internet to enable everyone to discover their heritage. Over 100 million people have learned about their family history at Ancestry.com.Paul's teams have a history of building viral products. MyFamily.com (1998) attracted millions of users and, for a time, was the fastest-growing online community on the web, as well as the top photo-sharing site in 2000 and 2001. Paul's We're Related app on Facebook (2007-2010) gained more than 120 million users in two and a half years. From 2012 to 2017, Paul worked with Gallup to promote the StrengthsFinder assessment (now called CliftonStrengths) from the Washington, DC headquarters. As the “Global Strengths Evangelist,” Paul helped increase online purchases of the assessment and supported a global community of strengths coaches. Today, more than 30 million people have taken the CliftonStrengths assessment. Paul's most recent creation is Soar.com, a company whose mission—once again—is to uplift humanity. Paul is a strong advocate for using AI in positive ways, specifically to enable individuals to become the best version of themselves. When excellent training is paired with AI-generated feedback on actual performance, leaders, managers, founders, and individual contributors can achieve excellence faster than ever before. Soar is an AI Studio that will form more than fifteen separate corporations to bring PURE AI (Personalized Uplifting Responsible Ethical AI) to many fields, including education, faith, government, health, finance, medicine, law, family history, and the workplace. Eventually, Soar will enable people to build and customize their own AI assistant (think of Jarvis from Iron Man or Janet from The Good Place) to help them learn, grow, make better decisions, and maximize their time on Earth. Paul's influence extends beyond entrepreneurship. He's a sought-after keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, teaching the importance of family stories and personal strengths in shaping one's identity. A lifelong learner, Paul has amassed a vast library of thousands of books. In fact, Paul's dedication to learning extends to his teaching roles in Internet Marketing and Entrepreneurship at Utah Valley University and Brigham Young University. He's received numerous accolades, including Ernst & Young Utah Entrepreneur of the Year in 2000 and MarketingSherpa National Entrepreneur of the Year in 2008. Paul is a fellow of the Utah Genealogical Association and was named a Cyber Pioneer in 2010 by the Cyber Law Section of the Utah State Bar. In 2016, he was the honored alumnus of the BYU Humanities College, having graduated in 1990 with a BA in Russian. Most recently, Paul has been featured on The Pulse of AI, The Briefing with Steve Scully, The Business of Learning, and The Adventures in Machine Learning podcasts.Paul and his wife, Christy, reside in Missouri. They have eight adult children and five grandchildren.X/Twitter Handle: @paulballenPersonal Facebook Profile: fb.com/paulallenLinkedin: linkedin.com/in/paulballen/Instagram Handle: @paulallendcUpcoming SuperCrowd Event CalendarIf a location is not noted, the events below are virtual.* Impact Cherub Club Meeting hosted by The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, on February 20, 2024, at 1:00 PM Eastern.

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.

“The most responsible thing a human can do, either personally for their own development or the development of others, is play to a person's strengths." Brandon Miller is the founder and CEO of 34 Strong and one of the first 7 certified Gallup Clifton StrengthsFinder coaches in the world. In this episode, we discussed Clifton StrengthsFinder, also known as CliftonStrengths. Brandon introduced what CliftonStrengths is and why it is important for us to recognize and focus on our strengths. He also shared when leaders apply a strengths-based approach at work, it leads to a much increased workplace engagement. Brandon then gave a walkthrough on how we can identify our strengths by taking the CliftonStrengths assessment and what we should do after we find out our strengths. Brandon also spent some time to discuss my top 3 strengths and explained the idea of complimentary partnerships. Towards the end, Brandon gave some tips for parents on how we can identify and nurture children's core strengths since their childhood.

Now, Discover Your Strengths: The revolutionary Gallup program that shows you how to develop your unique talents and strengths The 20th anniversary edition of Now, Discover Your Strengths comes with an access code to the Clifton StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment. This updated assessment includes reports and resources that go far beyond the standardized reports of the older assessment by providing you with personalized insight statements unique to your specific combination of strengths. Many people have little sense of their talents and strengths, much less the ability to build their lives around them. Instead, they are raised and taught to become experts in their weaknesses — and spend their lives trying to fix them — while their strengths lie dormant. Led by Don Clifton, the Father of Strengths-Based Psychology, Gallup created a revolutionary program to help people identify their talents; develop them into strengths; and enjoy consistent, near-perfect performance. Twenty years ago, Gallup released Now, Discover Your Strengths to bring this program to the world. At the heart of this book is CliftonStrengths, the assessment that is the product of decades of research and hundreds of thousands of interviews to identify the most prevalent human strengths. CliftonStrengths reveals 34 dominant talent themes that you can translate into personal and career success. To develop this assessment, Gallup conducted psychological profiles with more than 2 million individuals to help people around the world focus and perfect these themes. Since Now, Discover Your Strengths was first released two decades ago, more than 20 million people worldwide have taken the CliftonStrengths assessment. The 20th anniversary edition includes a unique access code to take CliftonStrengths — previously known as StrengthsFinder 2.0 — which is a significantly more robust program than the assessment that appeared in the original edition of the book. This web-based assessment analyzes your instinctive reactions and immediately presents you with your top five themes. Once you know which of the 34 themes you lead with — such as Achiever, Activator, Empathy, Futuristic and Strategic — the book will show you how to use your top themes for your own development, for your success as a manager and for the success of your organization. With accessible and profound insights into how to turn talents into strengths, and with immediate online feedback from the CliftonStrengths assessment at its core, Now, Discover Your Strengths is one of the most groundbreaking and powerful business books ever written.

"Is it a higher compliment to be called a) a person of real feeling, or b) a consistently reasonable person?" "Are you more successful at a) following a carefully worked-out plan, or b) dealing with the unexpected and seeing quickly what should have been done?" "Which word in each pair appeals to you more? a) scheduled, or b) unplanned?" Questions like these are posed to millions of current and prospective workers and students every year. They come from personality tests, whether the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Clifton StrengthsFinder, or other surveys purporting to assess personality traits and job aptitude. Through a series of tens to hundreds of questions, personality inventories claim to identify qualities like dominance, neuroticism, or introversion, synthesize a user profile, and determine that user's fitness for a given job. But beneath this ostensibly neutral goal of matching a person with their ideal form of employment lies a much more sinister aim: Identifying and weeding out would-be dissenters, labor organizers, and union sympathizers. Additionally, studies have shown repeatedly that commercial personality tests like the commonly used Myers-Briggs have little to no scientific value. Why, then, does their use continue–with anywhere from 60 to 80% of prospective workers taking a personality test–and given their anti-labor history, what harms do they pose? On this episode, we examine the history of personality testing used in military, educational, and corporate settings; the relationship between personality assessments, labor law, and the corporate consultancy class; how personality testing threatens the livelihoods of people based on race, disability, and other factors; and media's role in laundering tests as benign instruments of self-realization. Our guest is writer Liza Featherstone.

Have you taken a personality test (like the Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, Clifton StrengthsFinder, and felt like the answers "A", "B", "C", and "D" all apply to you? Wonder how accurately it matches your personality? Or maybe are stuck, not knowing what to do with that results. Quantum Human Design is a personality test that solves this via a unique synthesis of Chinese Ye Ching, Hindu Chakras, Astrology, Judaic Kabbalah, and Quantum Mechanics. I gave my guest just a few simple data points, and my reading wasn't the generic one-size-fits-all that I expected. Meet our guest Kristen Toscano is a physical therapist-turned-Human Design coach who believes you can have as much energy, fun and adventure right now as you did when you were 22. All it takes is knowing exactly who you are and devoting yourself to saying "hell yes!" to exploring the things that light you up and bring you closer to alignment with your Authentic Self. By combining Human Design with a variety of tools to realign the meanings we hold about ourselves and our experiences, she guides her clients to get unstuck, stop taking flack from everyone else and become their own authorities so they can create the lives and businesses they want without burning out in the process. Key takeaways Burnout comes from forcing a work style incompatible with your biology The "quantum" flavor of human design is empowering and gives you control over your life How QHD can help you make better decisions and waste less time doing the wrong things Links Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2Xkcq0g17f4 Full episode show notes: mindbodypeak.com/10 Connect with Nick on social media Instagram Twitter YouTube LinkedIn Easy ways to support Subscribe Leave an Apple Podcast review Suggest a guest Do you have questions, thoughts, or feedback for Kristen or me?

Have you ever considered the role of emotional intelligence at work? Most people think of emotional intelligence as something that stay-at-home parents and grade school teachers have to deal with, how does it apply to the workplace? Here to shed some light on this critical topic is Roger Wolkoff. With decades of experience in project management, Roger Wolkoff decided to make a pivot in his career and started his work with public speaking. Roger helps leaders and high-performing teams communicate with clarity, conviction, and positive intent. His passion is to help leaders make connections. In this episode, you'll hear from Roger as he explains his term “Done farting around,” how he decided to leave his project management work behind, why emotional intelligence at work is so important, three takeaways you can use today, and much more. You don't want to miss a minute of this valuable episode featuring Roger's expert perspective. Are you done farting around? Have you ever had a thought or idea that got stuck in your mind? What did you do to solve it? Did you allow that idea to take up long-term residence in your head or did you give it an eviction notice? Roger Wolkoff has a phrase called, “Done farting around.” The heart of this idea is to help leaders like you get those ideas that knock around in your head out and in the open. How do you expect to be effective personally or professionally if you can't think clearly? Don't let ideas (good or bad) clog up your system! Let your ideas sink or swim. You deserve to have a clear mind so you can succeed. To hear more about this helpful approach, listen to this episode with Roger Wolkoff. The four basic components of emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is more than growing as an emotional being; it involves understanding how you operate and how those around you operate. To elevate the role of emotional intelligence at work, we've got to understand the four basic components of emotional intelligence. Self-awareness Self-management Awareness of others Relationship management If you had to choose one component of emotional intelligence to go deeper with, which one would you choose? When Roger presents these components, he sees the most “Ah-ha moments” from his audience when he talks about self-management. This is encouraging news because it highlights the fact that you aren't locked into a certain level of emotional intelligence, you have the power to change. What are you waiting for? Be part of the solution! Too often we tend to get lulled into the mindset that things will never change. We see this idea of apathy take root in all aspects of life, from sports (Another Patriots Super Bowl victory, really?), to the government (both local and national), and even in the workplace (yet another “Strategic meeting”). What is the solution? Is it all inevitable or do we have the power within us to make a difference? According to Roger Wolkoff's findings, the answer is yes, we have the power to change and be the change we want to see in our surroundings. What are you waiting for? Who do you expect to get permission from? Give yourself the permission you need to get out there and make a difference. Three ways to make a difference in your workplace. Let's face it; there is nothing sexy or popular about serving others. When was the last time you saw a leader go out of their way to help someone else? Unfortunately, leadership in many contexts focuses on what leaders can get out of other people not how leaders can elevate and support their subordinates. If you'd like to start moving in a positive direction and make a difference in your workplace, consider these three action steps. Appreciate others and show your gratitude. Ask people, “What can I do for you?” Intentionally elevate other people. Which one will you choose to take action on? To hear more helpful insights like these from Roger Wolkoff, make sure to listen to this episode. Outline of This Episode [1:15] I introduce my guest, Roger Wolkoff. [2:30] Are you done farting around? [3:45] Why it is important to pay attention to the people you work with. [5:50] From project management to a public speaking role. [8:15] How emotional intelligence can help people change for the better. [10:15] Where do people have “Ah-ha” moments with Roger's teaching? [13:30] How can you become part of the solution? [18:30] Why Roger is such a huge fan of Clifton StrengthsFinder. [21:30] Good leaders will help people find ways to succeed. [23:30] Roger shares his top five strengths.

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. It's a great way to network with others who share a passion for strengths!
