What would change if you—and your team—worked from your strengths every day?

Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach and ICF PCC Jennifer Doyle Vancil, M.Ed. joins Amy to break down CliftonStrengths (formerly StrengthsFinder) and show leaders, founders, and professionals how to align work with what people naturally do best. After 25+ years in higher ed as an advisor and career coach, Jennifer shifted into private practice to help individuals, executives, and teams increase performance, engagement, and retention—by design, not accident.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The “Name it, Claim it, Aim it” framework to turn results into real-world action
  • Why strengths can be both superpower and snag—and how to spot the difference
  • The “dominant-hand” exercise that instantly sells the case for strengths-based roles
  • The Bring / Need lens leaders can use to reduce turnover and boost morale
  • How to coach and manage to the person, not to your own style
  • Why you should be hired for your strengths, not in spite of them
