We highlight how different Strength Domains appear in this conversation, discussing the balance between personal needs and the needs of others. We emphasize advocating for those who struggle to be seen and heard, as well as the importance of advocating for your own needs. For new managers, we stress understanding oneself and leading with intention to maximize impact --- including tips to minimize distractions by prioritizing purpose and meaning within the team.</p><p><br></p><p>KEY MOMENTS</p><ul><li>00:50 Guest Introductions</li><li>01:54 “The Why”&nbsp;</li><li>02:52 “The Stats”</li><li>04:48 Bill's Experience with Distractions</li><li>10:43 Ron's Perspective on Distractions</li><li>14:02 Chad &amp; Jen Share their Experiences</li><li>21:21 Using Strengths to Manage Distractions</li><li>31:11 Strategic Thinking vs. Action-Oriented Approach</li><li>35:33 Leading with Intention - Self-Awareness</li><li>37:30 Struggling to Be Seen and Heard</li><li>47:31 Advice for New Managers</li><li>61:30 Final Thoughts</li></ul><p><br></p><p>OUR GUESTS:</p><p>Bill Beachy @ The Beachy Group</p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-m-beachy-phd/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a> | <a href=\"https://beachygroup.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></p><p>Bill’s CliftonStrengths Top 5:&nbsp;Strategic | Ideation | Activator | Maximizer | Futuristic</p><p><br></p><p>Ron Cheshire @ The Co-Leadership Group</p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/roncheshire/?locale=fr_FR\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a> | <a href=\"https://coleadershipgroup.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></p><p>Ron’s CliftonStrengths Top 5:&nbsp;Individualization | Strategic | Analytical | Futuristic | Discipline</p><p><br></p><p>YOUR HOSTS:&nbsp;</p><p>Jen Werner @ Jen Werner Coaching&nbsp;</p><p><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/JenWernerCoaching/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook</a> | <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jen-werner361/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a> | <a href=\"https://www.jenwernercoaching.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></p><p>Jen’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Responsibility | Achiever | Belief | Deliberative | Activator&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Chad Ahern @ Talent and Teams Consulting&nbsp;</p><p><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/cahern\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn</a> | <a href=\"https://www.talentandteams.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></p><p>Chad’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Learner | Deliberative | Responsibility | Harmony | Analytical&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>To learn more about <a href=\"https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/home.aspx\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">CliftonStrengths talent themes</a>.</p><p><br></p><p><em>The opinions and insights we share on each CliftonStrengths theme are our own and are based on our understanding of Gallup’s Strengths-based development research.
