Would you like to learn how to accelerate your agency growth ?  https://www.agencymastery360.com/training What if your biggest growth bottleneck isn't your team—but how you're leading them? Laura Lee Jones built Lion Share Marketing into a 45-person healthcare agency with an extraordinary retention record by focusing on people before processes. Rather than forcing employees into predefined roles, she learned to build roles around their natural strengths, creating an environment where team members stay for decades, leaders stay in their zone of genius, and the business continues to grow profitably. In this episode, Laura shares how shifting from task management to strength-based leadership transformed her culture, why founder role clarity drives long-term growth, and why profit—not revenue—is the metric that ultimately matters. What You'll Learn Why treating employees the way you want to be treated creates long-term retention. How managing people around their strengths outperforms assigning work based on organizational charts. The leadership shift from directing every task to building complementary teams. Why founders should protect the work only they can do—and delegate everything else. How staying focused on profit instead of revenue leads to healthier decisions. The connection between founder role clarity, team stability, and sustainable agency growth. Key Takeaways Great retention isn't created through perks—it's built through consistent leadership and genuine care for your team. Stop trying to make people fit every role. Build roles around the strengths your people naturally bring. Founders become bottlenecks when they refuse to let go of work outside their highest-value contribution. Revenue growth means very little if profit, team health, and founder fulfillment are declining. Long-term agency success comes from designing a business where the right people are doing the right work—and the founder stays focused on the responsibilities only they can own. Have you been losing good people and telling yourself it is the market, the economy, or bad luck? Maybe you've been watching revenue numbers so closely that you forgot to ask whether the profit and the life underneath them were actually working. Today's featured guest runs a 45-person data-driven healthcare marketing agency she starting building just four days after being fired from an agency job. She'll get into why she intentionally built her agency thinking about employee happiness and fulfillment, how she evolved from drill sergeant to leader who plays to people's strengths, and what she has learned about staying profitable and mentally steady across three decades of business cycles. Laura Lee Jones is the CEO of Lion Share Marketing, a Kansas City-based agency specializing in data-driven marketing for the healthcare industry. They build large patient and prospect databases, layers proprietary software on top of them, and uses front-end analytics and back-end ROI measurement to drive healthcare marketing decisions. Laura Lee started the agency in 1995 after being let go from a firm she had run for ten years. She has grown Lion Share to 45 people with a retention rate that is genuinely unusual: some team members have been with her for close to 30 years, and several who could not join immediately due to non-compete agreements came over as soon as they could. In this episode, we'll discuss: The standard that makes people want to stay 30 years Pairing people with the work they want to do Why revenue is not the number that matters the most Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions:Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

She built her agency around a standard she had for herself: treat people the way you want to be treated, and then actually do it rather than just saying it. When she wanted flexibility because she was going to be a mother, she built it into the culture for everyone. When she wanted to leave early on summer Fridays, she made two o'clock the standard. When she needed childcare, she added a daycare to the building so anyone on the team who needed it had access. The outcome of that consistency over 30 years is a team that has watched each other's children grow from birth to college graduation. That kind of tenure is not built through perks or compensation alone, but through a founder who did not treat the team differently than she wanted to be treated herself, and who kept that standard even when the business hit years that were harder than expected. People can tell when a policy is real and when it is marketing. Learning to Lead Instead of Just Direct As Laura Lee herself admits, her early leadership style looked like a drill sergeant with a checklist, trying to fit square people into round holes. The evolution away from that happened as she paid more attention to what people were actually good at rather than what she needed done. Her agency's standard now is pairing people with the work their natural strengths fit, not assigning tasks based on organizational convenience and hoping it works out. The specific example she gives is herself: she does not take detailed notes and never will. So she pairs herself with someone who does it well, gets the net summary she needs, and stays at the altitude where she is most useful. That same principle applies across the team. The grumpy programmer who is brilliant at the work does not need to be socially engineered into a different personality. They need to be left in the seat where the grumpiness does not matter and the brilliance does. That is a structural decision that keeps the right people doing the right work and reduces the friction that makes good people leave. Revenue Is Not the Number That Matters Laura Lee has grown her agency every year but one in thirty years and she believes this is because she stays in the relationship and business development role that only she can fill, and she does not let herself get pulled into operations. The moment she drifts from that job, the numbers move. That clarity of role is the structural discipline behind the growth consistency. For most founders, a revenue dip triggers alarm regardless of what is happening to margin. The more honest measure is whether the business is generating real profit, whether the team has what it needs, and whether the founder is actually enjoying the work. Laura Lee frames it the same way: you are the one who picks what your life looks like, whether you are an owner or not, and you can always pick again. Thirty years in, she is still picking.

Being seen can feel deeply vulnerable for highly sensitive people.Whether you are sharing an honest thought, setting a boundary, expressing a need, sharing something creative, or letting more of your true self be known, visibility can bring up anxiety, self-doubt, overthinking, and fear of judgment.In this episode we explore why visibility can feel so activating for highly sensitive people, because being seen often touches old fears of rejection, criticism, misunderstanding, or not feeling safe to be fully yourself.You'll learn the difference between exposure and supported visibility, and why self-expression does not have to mean pushing past your limits or overwhelming your nervous system.This episode offers a grounded approach to visibility as a nervous system stretch - something you can practice in small, supported ways rather than forcing yourself into the biggest, scariest version of being seen.You'll explore questions like:What am I protecting myself from?Is this fear trying to protect me from real danger, or from the vulnerability of being known?What is one small, supported way I could let more of myself be seen?What would help my nervous system feel supported before, during, or after that step?If you are a highly sensitive person, empath, introvert, deep feeler, creative person, or someone who struggles with visibility anxiety, fear of judgment, people-pleasing, self-expression, over-explaining, or hiding your true self, this episode will help you understand your fear with compassion and begin practicing small moments of honest expression.You do not have to become fearless in order to be brave.Inside Rooted Resilience, we practice this kind of supported growth in gentle, practical ways.Rooted Resilience is my monthly membership for highly sensitive people who want nervous system support, emotional resilience, mindfulness practices, and tools they can actually use in daily life.It is a space to learn how to come back to yourself in real moments: when you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, emotionally stretched, afraid to speak honestly, or unsure how to honor your sensitivity without making your life smaller.You can learn more about Rooted Resilience here:https://yogiranger.com/rooted-resilienceYou may also enjoy these Insight Timer practices:Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Reset & Deep Rest:https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-nervous-system-reset-deep-rest_1You Are Already Enough: A Deep Reset For Self-Worth https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/you-are-already-enough-a-deep-reset-for-self-worth New to the podcast?

Your greatest weakness may actually be one of your greatest strengths—simply overused, misused, or applied in the wrong context.

You'll learn a practical four-step process to name, notice, neutralize, and redirect these behaviors with greater self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Whether you lead a salon, spa, med spa, or simply want to grow personally and professionally, this conversation will help you steward your strengths wisely and become the best version of yourself.

I have spent so much time, energy, and money over the years trying to get good at the things I am simply not good at. Routines are my big one. I am not great at keeping our home organized and running on any kind of rhythm, and there have been whole seasons where I decided that fixing that about myself was the most important work I could possibly be doing. Now, there's nothing wrong with striving to be better, and I am fully on board with growth, but we all have a finite amount of energy, and every hour I spend hyper-focusing on a weakness is an hour I don't get to spend magnifying the things that make me who I am. This is the second episode in my back-to-school check-in series for moms, six short episodes walking you through the six principles of self-assured motherhood, each one with a concrete way to assess how you're actually doing. Today's principle is Celebrate Your Strengths, and I love teaching about this because I love giving every woman permission to acknowledge and celebrate her innate gifts and strengths. When you stop trying to be a well-rounded version of everyone else and start leaning into what you naturally do well, your growth in that area becomes exponential, your joy goes up, and your family gets the very best of you instead of a watered-down imitation of somebody else's mothering. In this episode, you'll hear:

"Dyslexia is not a disease." It simply needs comfort & patience... Taking the time to understand how dyslexia works is the first step to offer help, says our guest this week, remedial therapist, Elizna Prinsloo. From the age of 5, signs of dyslexia might become more prevalent, but without understanding the concept, both parents and teachers might think a child is simply stubborn or lazy. Children could be bullied, mistreated, or shunned. Learn more about Dyslexia in this discussion that opens our minds to a new way of thinking about this condition.

Scott dives further into Workday and the software trade, naming Salesforce (CRM) and Adobe (ADBE) as winners and Fair Issac Corp. (FICO) as a lower in the coming years. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Dr Swapnil Pawar is joined by Dr Jose Chacko to discuss the LOGICAL trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in June 2026. Does limiting oxygen after cardiac arrest protect the brain from reperfusion injury? LOGICAL (the largest randomised trial of oxygen therapy after cardiac arrest to date) randomised 1,840 patients across 53 ICUs in Australia, New Zealand and Ireland to conservative versus liberal oxygen therapy. In this episode: – The pathophysiological rationale: hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, reperfusion injury and free radical damage – Where LOGICAL sits alongside EXACT, ICU-ROX, HOT-ICU and the Danish BOX trial – The Mega-ROX master protocol design, and why the sepsis and non-HIE brain injury arms are still to come – Trial design: SpO₂ upper limit of 95% and FiO₂ down to 0.21 in the conservative arm versus no upper limit and a floor of FiO₂ 0.3 in the liberal arm – The results: no difference in favourable neurological outcome at 180 days (38.2% vs 39.7%), survival, length of stay, quality of life or cognitive function – Strengths, limitations, and what it means at the bedside, including why the hosts have landed in different places on titrating down to room air Reference: The LOGICAL Investigators and the ANZICS Clinical Trials Group.

How Do You Use Your Strengths to Work on Your Blind Spots? We all have strengths. We all have blind spots. But what if some of the very things we do well can also help us work on the areas where we struggle? Today on The Daily Trudge, we're talking about self-awareness, personal growth, and learning how to take an honest look at ourselves without turning that into self-condemnation. Sometimes our greatest strengths can also create challenges. Being direct can become too intense. Being a quick problem-solver can make us impatient with people who process things differently. Persistence can keep us moving forward, but it can also make it harder to recognize when we need to change direction. The goal is not to become somebody else. The goal is to become more aware of how we operate, recognize our blind spots, and use the strengths we already have to continue growing. Join me as we talk about how self-awareness can become action. #TheDailyTrudge #Recovery #SelfAwareness #PersonalGrowth #BlindSpots #Strengths #RecoveryJourney #Growth #SelfReflection

What does a strengths-based approach actually mean — and when does it become another way of asking people to solve impossible problems alone?In this episode of MissPerceived, Professor Leah Ruppanner responds to a listener's thoughtful question about why her work focuses so much on structural barriers, inequality, and the systems that make life heavier. Leah explains the value of identifying your strengths, resources, resilience, and community support — but also why strength alone cannot fix unaffordable childcare, inaccessible healthcare, discrimination, or a broken labor market.Through research on LGBTQIA+ families, the Mental Load Audit, and the sociological tension between structure and agency, Leah explores how we can use our existing strengths while still demanding collective solutions. You are powerful, resilient, and capable — but you were never meant to carry structural problems by yourself.Chapters:00:00 A listener asks: Where is the strengths-based approach?01:30 What “strengths-based” actually means02:23 Strengths-based vs. deficit-based thinking03:00 The Mental Load Audit as a practical strengths-based tool04:46 LGBTQIA+ families, shared experience, and community as a resource07:06 The problem with “just try harder”08:00 Why individual resilience can't solve structural inequality09:19 Structure and agency: what is yours to carry — and what is not?10:00 Asking for help, sharing the burden, and building coalitions11:42 Why lived experience is valuable research and knowledge12:30 How we change systems without carrying the whole world aloneResources Mentioned:

Send us Fan MailWe're on a summer break of sorts from new episodes of the podcast, but we wanted to re-share some favorites from the past nine seasons of The Leadership Vision Podcast. This was one of my favorites from 2026, as it is a great reminder to all of us that we need to let certain things go if we want to grow. About how sometimes, choosing to look past a difficult situation without any sort of resolution might be the best way to move forward and get closer to the things we really want or need.That's not to say it's easy to do this! Far from it, in fact. But reminding us all that we have a choice in these matters is sometimes all it takes.This lesson comes to us from a parable taken from a children's book that was shared with Dr. Linda and Brian from one of our clients earlier this year. It's a simple story, and an even simpler lesson, but one worth revisiting over and over again. It begins with unlearning—the intentional process of releasing habits, patterns, and ways of thinking that no longer serve you.At its core, this episode is about a simple but challenging idea: great leaders grow by letting go first.Enjoy!Support the show-Read the full blog post here!CONTACT USemail: connect@leadershipvisionconsulting.comLinkedIn FacebookLeadership Vision OnlineABOUTThe Leadership Vision Podcast is a weekly show sharing our expertise in discovering, practicing, and implementing a Strengths-based approach to people, teams, and culture.

Olivier Blanchard says he is "expecting good things" from Super Micro (SMCI) earnings Tuesday. He sees the company's HPC revenue and DLC technology as the crux to what he expects will be a strong report. When it comes to the company's backlog, Olivier will watch to see how the company can deliver on a roadmap to collect those profits. He then compares Super Micro to Dell Technologies (DELL) and what earnings will signal on competition between the two. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Sensitivity is not fragility, and nervous system healing does not mean avoiding everything uncomfortable.In this episode we explore how highly sensitive people can honor their nervous systems while still living brave, meaningful, expressive lives.If you are a highly sensitive person, you may have wondered: Is this discomfort a sign that something is wrong for me, or is my nervous system asking for more support as I stretch toward something that matters?This episode offers a compassionate and practical framework for understanding the difference between discomfort that signals danger, discomfort that comes with growth, and overwhelm that means you need more support.You'll learn the difference between:Comfort Zone: familiar, manageable, and supportive for rest and recoveryCapacity Zone: stretching, uncomfortable, meaningful, and workable with supportOverwhelm Zone: too much, too fast, or too unsupportedThis episode is especially supportive if you are a highly sensitive person, empath, deep feeler, or sensitive soul who struggles with anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, visibility, or fear of doing hard things.You'll explore questions like:Am I activated and still connected to myself?Do I still have access to choice?Is this discomfort connected to something meaningful?Can I make this more manageable?What support would change this?You do not have to choose between honoring your nervous system and living a life that stretches you. You can rest, prepare, ask for support, go slowly, say no when something is truly too much, and say yes when something meaningful is asking you to grow.Inside Rooted Resilience, we practice this kind of supported growth in practical ways.Rooted Resilience is my monthly membership for highly sensitive people who want nervous system support, emotional resilience, mindfulness practices, and tools they can actually use in daily life.It is a space to learn how to come back to yourself in real moments: when you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, emotionally stretched, afraid to speak honestly, or unsure how to honor your sensitivity without making your life smaller.You can learn more about Rooted Resilience here:https://yogiranger.com/rooted-resilienceYou may also enjoy these Insight Timer practices:Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Reset & Deep Rest: https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-nervous-system-reset-deep-rest_1Yoga Nidra for Burnout Recovery: https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-highly-sensitive-people-burnout-recoveryNew to the podcast?

What if the way you solve problems has nothing to do with how smart you are or how you feel, and everything to do with instinct? In this episode of The Audit, Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellem are joined by Jen Lotze from SipCyber and guest David Kolbe of Kolbe Corp, whose company built the Kolbe Index to measure the instinctive way people take action. After the whole team takes the assessment live, David breaks down what their scores actually mean and why the crew's mix of Fact Finder, Follow Thru, Quick Start, and Implementor strengths shapes the way they operate under pressure. The conversation moves from the Johari Window and personal blind spots to why teams that clone each other's strengths tend to stall out, and why hiring people unlike yourself is one of the best things a leader can do. David also shares stories from decades of client work, from a CFO who built a physical model of a financing plan to a security engineer who cannot walk past an unsecured cable, before turning to what comes next for Kolbe Corp as they build AI tools around decades of behavioral data while trying to keep that data private and secure. In this episode: What the Kolbe Index actually measures, and why it's different from personality or IQ tests. Conative strengths describe how you instinctively take action, not what you think or how you feel, and they do not change over time. Why balanced teams outperform teams that clone each other. A team full of people with the same instincts feels comfortable right up until deadlines start slipping and nobody notices the blind spot. How opposite strengths cause friction, at work and at home. If this conversation sparked something, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Show notes:This week on the podcast I'm chatting to Delia Monk. Delia is a messaging strategist and conversion copywriter who helps business owners uncover what makes them different and then communicate it in a way that actually connects with the right people. But before that, she had a fascinating career as a political journalist before spending ten years building a successful travel business.

While every leader I work with is deeply talented, many struggle to self-identify their own areas of excellence and what sets them apart. If we want to be strategic problem solvers, we need to know, identify, and share what sets us apart.  In this episode, I'm sharing how to identify and then strategically position your leadership strengths in a way that allows them to become your greatest leadership edge. Whether you're pursuing career advancement, building executive presence, or simply wanting to have a bigger impact in your work, the way you talk about what you do matters just as much as what you do. I'll walk you through exercises I use with my coaching clients to uncover the expertise they're often overlooking. The skills you've practiced hundreds - or even thousands - of times are often the exact things someone else is struggling to learn. I'll help you identify your unique expertise, strengthen your personal leadership brand, and think differently about how your experience can support others. This episode provides real-life examples of how everyday experiences, from navigating difficult conversations and developing communication skills in the workplace to the work I'm doing with high schoolers in their first jobs to how my 13-year-old is positioning his skills on the baseball field. The goal isn't to sound impressive. It's to become more intentional about sharing what you know so you can increase your leadership visibility, grow your thought leadership, and create new opportunities and options for yourself moving forward. If you've ever dismissed your strengths because they "come naturally," this episode is your invitation to reconsider and shine a little brighter. I'll leave you with practical reflection questions to help you identify your strengths, clarify who needs to learn from you, and begin leveraging your expertise with more confidence.  Thank you to our sponsor, Ironwall.

Here's a concise summary you could use as an episode description or overview:Neurodivergence isn't just about challenges—it's also about strengths. In this episode of Living With an Invisible Learning Challenge, Jennifer explores the unique talents that often accompany neurodivergent minds, including creativity, pattern recognition, resilience, memory, and problem-solving. Drawing from her own experiences with tech tutoring, audio memory, memorizing song lyrics, and remembering names and birthdays, she shares how these abilities have helped her navigate life and connect with others. Backed by current research, this episode encourages listeners to recognize, celebrate, and cultivate the gifts that come with thinking differently.

What if lasting behavior change doesn’t come from fixing your weaknesses – but from building on your strengths? For many of us, self-improvement has become synonymous with self-criticism. We constantly focus on what we’re doing wrong, what needs fixing, and where we fall short. But what if we’ve been approaching personal growth all wrong? In this episode of Making Shift Happen, I explore how the science of positive psychology offers a refreshing perspective on behavior change. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?” positive psychology encourages us to ask a different question: “What’s already strong within me?” By recognizing and leveraging your existing strengths, you can create healthier habits, build greater confidence, and make lasting behavior change feel more natural – and a lot less exhausting. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of trying to “fix” yourself, this episode is for you.

Discover how understanding your strengths can transform communication, teamwork, leadership, and career growth. Gallup-certified coaches share how investing in natural talents can boost engagement, fulfillment, and overall success.

⁠Michael Duke (better known as Mr. Dodgy, or @chessproblem on X) is a Chessable author, the co-founder of Chessfam, and co-host of the Chicken Chess Club podcast. He has built a large online following through his passion for chess and his sharp sense of humor. But behind the jokes, Michael has become more serious about improving his own game. With a FIDE rating just shy of 2100, Michael was frustrated that he consistently performed much better in rapid than in classical chess. In order to change that, he sought out GM Alex Colovic for coaching after trying several instructors. He worked to address the biggest weaknesses in his game, including lazy calculation and overly ambitious opening choices. The work paid off as he defeated a grandmaster for the first time at age 38 and later held GM David Howell to a draw in a rapid game. In our conversation, Michael shares what he learned about improving as an adult, why his rapid results have always been better than his OTB results, and the practical changes that helped close the gap. We also discuss Chessfam, the ambitious new platform he co-founded to make finding and entering chess tournaments easier, as well as his observations from the recent European Chess Union Congress and the upcoming FIDE presidential election.

Most people assume the work that drains them is just part of the job, something to push through, optimize around, or get faster at. But the real reason certain tasks deplete you has nothing to do with how skilled you are. It comes down to a distinction between your skills and strengths and how often your work is in alignment. What You'll Learn: The critical difference between skills and strengths and why confusing the two is what keeps most high performers trapped in work that slowly drains them Why getting better at draining work never actually solves the problem and what a strengths-based approach does instead How to use your natural wiring to build the right skills and clear tedious tasks off your plate in a way that actually sticks Why routines aren't just time management tools, they're acts of intentional career design that compound over time into a work life you want to show up for How clearing draining work and protecting your energy is one of the most effective ways to prevent burnout before it starts   Our book, Happen To Your Career: An Unconventional Approach To Career Change and Meaningful Work, is now available on audiobook!

The strengths that earned every promotion before this one start working against you at the next level. The job outgrew them, not the other way around. What worked leading ten people can quietly cripple an organization of two hundred until you know what you're still trying to protect instead of trusting what already works. There's a version of you who trusts the harder right answer immediately. No negotiation, no performance, no need to explain it later. You've done it before, probably in a room where the strength that built your career was the same thing quietly working against you. This episode is about what stands between you and that version showing up every time, not just when the stakes make it easy. What You'll Hear Why the strength that got you here doesn't need to be put down, it needs to be reassigned A real moment from leading a team where the easy answer and the right answer weren't the same The difference between proving a strength and trusting it What's running underneath the signals you send without you realizing it Leadership Pattern to Notice The instinct to perform shows up before the instinct to lead. It moves fast because it can be defended later, and trusting a harder answer in the moment cannot. Most leaders never question the order. They call the fast answer good judgment and move on, without ever noticing that the real decision already happened underneath it.

With Pluto, Jupiter, Uranus, Mars, and Venus all creating intense planetary dynamics, Laurie explains why this is not an ordinary Full Moon and why the days surrounding it could bring historic events, geopolitical escalations, disruptive weather, technology shocks, and major leadership developments.More importantly, she explores how this same energy can become a catalyst for personal liberation. Rather than reinforcing old limitations, this Full Moon invites you to break through outdated beliefs, reclaim your agency, and use disruption as an opportunity for transformation.Chapters00:00 Introduction and overview of the episode01:24 The cosmic rift: Full moon conjunct Pluto and opposition to Jupiter02:20 How to navigate the energy of the full moon and upcoming astrological events05:14 Predictions for August 2026: Environmental, political, and social insights09:47 The importance of directing your narrative and beliefs11:02 Managing systemic change: Strengths, community, and discernment16:53 The significance of local action and self-sufficiency22:42 Predictions for wildfires, environmental issues, and political shifts28:50 Using astrology for personal empowerment and systemic liberation37:35 The shadow concept in astrology and shadow work40:48 Collective and personal impacts of lunar transits56:35 The full moon in Aquarius: planetary aspects and global impacts01:02:01 Potential leadership changes and global upheavals01:12:45 Practical advice for navigating the energetic chaos01:15:12 Community, self-care, and grounding practices01:17:05 Upcoming projects, courses, and community support

Send us Fan MailPlay isn't childish, and it isn't a distraction from leadership. It's one of the quickest ways to get out of your head, reconnect with the people around you, and create the kind of energy where learning actually sticks. We talk about why play helps us feel more present, more surprised, and more willing to laugh at ourselves, and how those moments can reveal purpose faster than another round of navel-gazing ever will. We also get honest about the modern tradeoff between real fun and “soothing.” Screens can feel safe and calming, but they rarely create the shared experiences that build belonging. From family vacations to everyday moments with coworkers, we unpack what makes play feel genuine, why forced fun backfires, and how leaders can set a tone that is light without being dismissive. If you care about team culture, psychological safety, and employee engagement, you'll hear practical ways to bring play into meetings without turning it into a cringe exercise. A big thread running through the conversation is the idea that play is practice in disguise. Whether you're coaching kids with running games or leading an organization through uncertainty, play lowers the stakes so people will try, experiment, and grow. We share stories about taking small risks, remembering what we loved as kids, and reclaiming wonder as adults when it feels like we have more to lose. If this sparks an idea, subscribe to the Leadership Vision podcast, share the episode with a colleague or friend, and leave a review so more leaders can find it.Support the show-Read the full blog post here!CONTACT USemail: connect@leadershipvisionconsulting.comLinkedIn FacebookLeadership Vision OnlineABOUTThe Leadership Vision Podcast is a weekly show sharing our expertise in discovering, practicing, and implementing a Strengths-based approach to people, teams, and culture.
