In a recent episode of the Lessons and Leadership podcast, I spoke with Jennifer Doyle Vancil, a Gallup-certified strengths coach who helps individuals align their work with their natural talents. Our conversation was full of practical insights for leaders and team members alike, and I'm excited to share the key takeaways. If you like today's message, here are four ways I can help you grow faster… 1. Speak at your next event. 2. Conduct a full or half-day leadership training workshop. 3. VIP Client: Personal and professional 1:1 coaching. 4. Unlock the proven system I use to elevate my brand and business on LinkedIn, inspired by my collaboration with Tony Robbins. I specialize in mentoring speakers, coaches, and consultants frustrated that their businesses aren't growing fast enough. https://www.billstorm.com/ Jennifer Doyle Vancil, M.Ed. Gallup Certified Strengths Coach When people ask me what I do, I simply say “I help people find or create jobs they like and will be good at.” To me, that means creating a career based on your natural talents and learning to communicate those effectively to people who will hire you. I call that “Creating a Strengths-Based Career.” I've made it my life's mission to support, encourage, and inspire people to live more meaningful lives. That's what makes my life meaningful. I coach early and mid-career professionals seeking a career change and searching for new jobs to understand their natural talents, identify opportunities in the current market to use those talents, and communicate their value effectively to people who can hire them. I meet with clients across the United States by Zoom video. I work with people who have big questions about what's next who want support and guidance to figure it out and then need help to get there. I support job seekers step by step all the way to the finish line. For over 20 years I've done this through my work in higher education as a college career counselor, advisor, and faculty member teaching career and learning strategy courses. I've taught MBA students, first-year undergraduate students, and everything in between. Over the years, I've expanded into private practice to serve career transition and job search clients who want to create a more meaningful life. I also work with workplace teams to become workplaces people don't want to leave. When teams are working from their strengths and have hope for their careers, people are more productive, employees are happier, and even in the midst of “The Great Resignation,” people stay and grow. I've developed a unique way of looking at a career, combining my training in Strengths with my knowledge of Career Development to help all the people I serve to create strengths-based careers. communicatingstrengths.com Bill Storm is a seasoned advisor and consultant renowned for his expertise in driving peak performance and fostering effective leadership within Fortune 500 companies.

In this episode of a two part series, I'm diving into the transformative power of strengths-based coaching with Lindsay Guest, a Positive Psychology Coach specializing in helping women unlock their full potential. With a focus on leveraging unique strengths, Lindsay guides women to build confidence, find direction, and feel more energized in their personal and professional lives. Her approach is especially impactful during life transitions, such as menopause, where women can anchor themselves, reconnect with their values, and rediscover what truly matters. I found Lindsay's approach to be fascinating so I decided to go on a journey with her for a month of coaching and I talk all about my experience in part 2. Originally from the UK, Lindsay has lived in Switzerland for 20 years, where she is raising two daughters. She brings her strengths of empathy, communication, and inclusivity to every coaching session, creating a supportive and motivating experience for her clients. Key Takeaways: Using Strengths-Based Coaching to End the Comparison Game: Instead of focusing on what others are doing, strengths-based coaching helps women identify their own unique strengths and qualities, building a strong sense of self-confidence and reducing the need for comparison. Building Resilience and Self-Confidence: Understanding and utilizing your strengths helps build resilience. By focusing on what works well, you create a foundation of confidence that can carry you through challenging times. Improving Relationships Through Strengths Awareness: When you know and use your strengths, it not only benefits you but also improves how you relate to others, helping to create stronger, healthier connections. Bringing Teams Together: Strengths-based coaching isn't just for individuals. By understanding the strengths of each team member, you can create a more cohesive and effective team dynamic that amplifies each person's contributions and drives projects forward. Strengths Training and Family Dynamics: Lindsay also highlights how strengths awareness can positively impact family life, helping families understand each other better and work together more harmoniously. Who This Episode is For: Women at any stage of life looking to boost their confidence, especially during life transitions such as menopause. Leaders and managers interested in using strengths-based coaching to bring out the best in their teams. Anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Positive Psychology and how to apply it to everyday life.

If you are parenting a neurodivergent kid, you probably have a lot of experience getting feedback about your child — in IEP meetings, parent teacher conferences, therapists, neuropsychs, school counselors. And, so often this feedback is highlighting what's hard or challenging and what needs to be improved, which, honestly, takes its toll on us and our kids. It can leave us feeling drained, discouraged, and overwhelmed. If you relate to this experience in any way, you're going to appreciate today's conversation with Dr. Jade Rivera, as she is going to talk with us about a new way she and her team are providing feedback with a completely different, and much more positive and optimistic, focus. Jade is the Lab Director for the new Strength-Based Assessment Lab at Bridges Graduate School, which uses the Suite of Tools, developed by twice-exceptional thought leaders Dr. Susan Baum and Dr. Robin Shader, to identify what a child likes, loves, and excels at. The goal of the Lab is to empower students, families, educators, and professionals in creating positive and collaborative learning experiences for children facing challenges in their educational environments. So today, Jade talks with us about her work and the Strength-Based Assessment Lab — what a strengths-based assessment is and how it's conducted, what differentiates a strength and a talent, how to encourage our kids to pursue their interests without putting pressure on them to live up to our idea of potential. We also talked about how to get strength-based goals incorporated in IEPs and how to approach meetings when we are trying to shift the focus to our child's strengths. About Dr. Jade Rivera As the Lab Director for the Strength-Based Assessment Lab at Bridges Graduate School, Dr. Jade Rivera leads the Lab to empower students, families, educators, and professionals in creating positive and collaborative learning experiences for children facing challenges in their educational environments. With over fifteen years of experience, she has designed and led micro-schools beloved by quirky and sensitive children, uniquely positioning her to provide insights into positive niche construction, strength-based pedagogy, and talent development for neurodivergent children. Her training in Nonviolent Communication and Montessori credential inspire her educational philosophies and practices, including project-based learning, dual-differentiation strategies, and gradeless classrooms. In 2016, the California Association for the Gifted honored Jade for distinguished service on behalf of gifted and twice-exceptional children. More recently, she was recognized as a “person to watch in the 2e movement” by 2e News. She earned her Ed.D. at Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity in 2022. She is honored to continue as a professor at the same school, supporting others as they envision a strength-based world for neurodivergent humans. Things you'll learn: How the Strength-Based Assessment Lab at Bridges Graduate School gathers information from the child, caregivers, and professionals in the child's life to identify strengths, environmental obstacles, and dreams for the child's potential The difference between recognizing and supporting a gifted or twice-exceptional child's strengths and talents and placing pressure on them to reach a certain potential How parents and educators can incorporate a strengths-based approach in traditional school settings Ideas for including strength-based goals in IEPs Why it's important to foster opportunities for a child to demonstrate what they love and what they're good at, even in small ways Resources mentioned: The Strength-Based Assessment Lab at Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Development Jade Rivera on Substack Susan Baum Robin Schader Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity in Education Dr. Joseph Renzulli Sunnyside Micro-School Sandra Kay / Talent Development Learn more about your ad choices.

When I opened my CliftonStrengths report, I was not surprised. What surprised me, though, was that I felt relief. I finally had words to explain why certain things were important to me and why I did what I did. I could give myself permission to approach life the way I do because I better understood how God uniquely wired me. In this episode, I'll share with you how strengths-based thinking has helped me embrace who I am and my God-given calling.
A strengths-based approach to learning is exactly what our asynchronous kids need. We may be tempted to focus on remediation in areas where they are “behind,” but remember there is no behind; our kids learn every day. It is so important to teach our children to use their strengths to help them overcome their weaknesses instead of allowing them to feel behind, always trying to catch up. In today's episode, Colleen talks specifically about why we should implement a strengths-based approach with our kids, and let go of the traditional, deficit-based model.

Is it possible to truly rid yourself of performance anxiety? Is practicing less as you get closer to a performance really better? How do you get past doubts and other mental roadblocks when returning from a significant playing injury? Is it a better use of time to focus on our strengths or our weaknesses? Why is it so important for us to take lessons with or play for musicians who play instrument other than our own?If you've ever tried Googling questions like this for an answer, today's episode is for you.
Most of us who are trying to work in a way that is aligned with our values have so many moments of doubt. Are we actually doing a “skilled intervention”? Is the work we are doing truly making an impact on the child's life? Are we inadvertently causing harm? Is there something we should know but don't know that would help more in this situation? One of my favorite things to do is to find therapists who have really done the work to align their work with their values. Kelsie Olds (she/they) exemplifies this. In this episode, we dive into the details of Kelsie's practice as a school-based OT and their journey to where they are today.
