Lead Through Strengths

Lisa Cummings and Brea Roper help you lead teams, build your work culture, and improve relationships with CliftonStrengths A.K.A StrengthsFinder.The "Lead Through Strengths" podcast was created for you if you're ready to stop taking the "path of most resistance" at work and in life. It sounds silly, yet it happens all the time when people get focused on fixing their weaknesses. It doesn't have to be so hard. Stop focusing on what's broken about you. Lisa Cummings, one host, is a Gallup Certified Strengths Performance Coach, so she brings you a wealth of corporate wisdom, combined with Gallup research. She's also certified by the Life Coach School and has an MBA, so she brings a good combo of business and coaching. Brea Roper, your other host, is also a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach. She is incredible at helping you cast a vision for your future - using your natural talents. She's especially talented at leading personal retreats in Kansas City, MO (and she will travel).Many episodes are educational Q&A from our corporate clients. They're usually questions we get in our StrengthsFinder corporate workshops. Over 34 Million people have taken the CliftonStrengths assessment. With this show, you'll learn how to find your strengths and put them to work. If you manage a team, you'll hear ideas for leading your so your colleagues can come to work feeling more energized and engaged.We publish by season.

All of these are the same survey tool: StrengthsFinder 2.0, StrengthsFinders, StrengthFinders, StrengthFinder, StrengthsFinder, Clifton Strengths, CliftonStrengths, Clifton StrengthsFinder.Despite the difficulty with the word, the content all points to Strengths Based Development and leadership using StrengthsFinder with your team.

  • Kimberly, is that you?
    Great
    Really enjoy this podcast! There is so much to learn about the 4 domains and 34 strengths and I like that the info here is actionable!
  • tibor.mindsethorizon

  • Life&RelationshipCoach
    Really awesome show!
    Thanks Lisa for creating a show that REALLY Focuses on individual strengths! There is much to learn here using a system called StrengthsFinder - yet its very insightful even if you do not have this program. Very Helpful! Coach Riana Milne
  • The Marketing Book Podcast
    Find your true strengths here and succeed!
    I love the Gallup Strengths Finder and if you listen to this show you will become a big believer like me! I took an earlier version of this when I was in grad school in the late 80's and looking back, it was so accurate! Fortunately I went into a line of work that leveraged those strengths and now my daughter, a college senior, has taken it and I paid for the detailed results. Not sure about it? Listen to this show, learn and you'll be able to work smarter, not just harder!
  • Wingnut4772

    24/7 Wisdom
    Just as soon as Lisa left our office after a great day of talking about strengths, I found myself looking for more of her advice and wisdom. This podcast makes that possible 24/7. It's become a regular staple in my listening and learning library.
  • Ian Ryan

    Great resource!
    This podcast is a great resource for helping my team understand Strengthsfinder. Lisa does a great job of breaking it down into manageable chunks I can incorporate into training and activities.
  • JoeD72
    Awesome Podcast.
    Take the path of least resistance as Lisa Cummings guides us to the best version of ourselves based on our talents and strengths. Lisa and her guest are obviously passionate about what they do, and I always learn something during her podcast. Fantastic!
  • REPTAR17
    Great content but a little too much fluff
    I love learning about this kind of stuff but I could do without all the extra color and unnecessary banter about nonsense. In a 20 minute podcast there’s about 6 minutes of good raw content. It also seems as though many of the guests on the air would rather just talk and brag about themselves and their accomplishments than actually cover the podcast topic in practical way.
  • Bjeanbh
    Totally not boring expertise!!
    Lisa totally kills it in these interviews and solo shows. She has SOO much knowledge about how to wield your Strengths for impact on your job, and she has such great ways of making the concepts stick. She has a great style that makes this one of my go-to shows. Thank you!!
  • a_creative_life
    Skillful Interviewer, Fascinating Lens
    I love the way Lisa filters everything through the lens of strengths. It forces me to see things differently in a really good way! Always entertaining, and I always learn something. What’s not to love?
  • BrieGF
    Thanks for helping people to lead!
    Great show for helping people to be leaders!
  • jazzybroad
    I like it. I love it. I want some more of it!
    This is easily one of my favorite podcasts. EASILY. Lisa’s hosting style is humble and relatable, and her guests are top-notch. In fact, I’ve stopped listening to it in the car because there are always SEVERAL nuggets of genius I have to write down and chew on for awhile. Sometimes, I wish the episodes came more frequently. However, the space in between allows me the opportunity to go deeper in thought and practically apply to my life before receiving more mind-blowing insights next month. Thank you, Lisa, for helping me lead myself, and others, through strengths. You rock!

    Super Podcast
    Really enjoyed Lisa and the subject matter, a lot of topic to cover, but Lisa does a great job at keeping it clear and she does a great job. Really love the Q&A!
  • Glenn Leibowitz
    Practical and powerful podcast for leaders of all stripes
    So much emphasis is placed on “addressing development needs” in formal evaluation processes in the corporate world. In this podcast, Lisa turns that on its head and focuses on really matters, on the talents and strengths that people possess, and the enormous contributions they can make through those. Lisa is a natural podcaster with a ton of energy and a smooth voice you won’t want to stop listening to.
  • Danny Johnson -Flipping Junkie

  • Oriya+
    Great content!
    Brilliant host and really very helpful content that can build a better you!
  • GrowMyRevenue
    Amazing insight - Delivered with humility and humor
    I love how Lisa lets all of her amazing experience, expertise, and talent sit quietly in the background and how she unleashes her wisdom at just the right time. She has an amazing ability to introduce humor while maintaining professionalism - a rare trait. She uncovers the most from her guests, and ensures that the interviews stay on track to provide the most value to the listener. She should keep producing this podcast until she runs out of valuable information... which could happen by the year 2083.
  • Therykerdane

  • AKLucky
    Awesome, high energy and motivating.
    I originally heard Lisa on a different podcast and immediately sensed she is something to follow. Then subscribed to Career Q&A podcast. She brings is valuable knowledge and high energy to the show. The content, example she presents are so motivating that they stick to you and push you to do more with career. In one of the shows, she tells a story of her running on a trail, concerned about stumps, looking down not paying attention to what's ahead and running into big spider web. Example stories like will make the advice powerful and last longer. Thanks Lisa for wonderful show.
