The Leadership Vision Podcast
The Leadership Vision Podcast explores what helps leaders, teams, and organizations navigate complexity and move forward with greater clarity, alignment, resilience, and engagement.
Hosted by Nathan Freeburg and featuring conversations with Dr. Linda Schubring, Brian Schubring, and leaders and thinkers from a wide range of fields, each episode looks beneath the surface of leadership to examine the patterns shaping how we work, relate, change, and grow.
Drawing from more than 25 years of work with leaders and teams, Leadership Vision brings together insights from positive psychology, applied neuroscience, organizational development, and real-world experience. We explore questions about team culture, relationships, well-being, change, communication, conflict, identity, and what it means to lead well in uncertain environments.
We’re interested in better questions, deeper understanding, and practical ideas you can apply to yourself, your team, and the people you lead.

But first here's our president , dr Linda Shubring , who is going to introduce this episode for us and tell you a bit more about the training . Enjoy .
Speaker 2Hi everyone . This is Linda Shubring . We have another strengths communicator cohort starting soon . This professional training helps leaders deepen their knowledge and understanding of strengths . We have created this training as a behavior-based approach to interpreting and applying strengths , no matter your context . We call it strengths communicator because the certification is rooted in the fundamentals of the language of strengths and the key in the certification is to fine tune your practice through one-to-one strengths conversations . Brian and I are passionate about empowering leaders and this training is dynamic and cohort based , and we've hosted this training all over the world since 2010 . And this one coming up is in Minneapolis , but we've done training in Belgium and Britain and Spain , Singapore , California , Canada and New York City .
Speaker 2Participants have ranged in age , from their late teens to enjoying retirement , and I could tell you a lot about this training , but why don't we let people speak for themselves ? We have two lovely members of past cohorts that want to share from their perspective about what they learned , and I'm happy to report they're still applying those learnings to their contacts . I want to introduce you to Brian Peters , who was in a cohort in 2020 , and Sarah Simon , who was in a cohort in 2022 . So give it a listen and after they are done . I will give you a few more pieces of information about what you might learn . You can learn more on our website at leadershipvisionconsultbased . Culture wants to focus on what's right with people .
Speaker 4And when we focus on what is right with people , how can they flourish and thrive and really do the best work that they can do as a professional or just within their family ?
Speaker 3The self-worth and uniqueness of people and ultimately help people be their best selves and , by extension , an organization be its best , should really take strength communicator training .
Speaker 4This training allowed us to really dive into what is right with people . That's really the focus of this training is what is right with people and how do we dig into that .
Speaker 3And how do we help people uncover that ? How do we help people uncover that ? Going into it , I was a little nervous if I would actually come out being able to do anything with strengths .
Speaker 4I had a lot of self-doubt , I had a lot of questions . I wasn't really confident in my own skill set and my strengths .
Speaker 3I wasn't sure that I was actually going to take what I've learned and apply it .
Speaker 4Brian and Linda did an awesome job helping me dive into my own strengths and figure out how to utilize that in a strengths conversation .
Speaker 3Leaving training , I've actually gone and incorporated what I've learned into my organization and I already see it starting to help people . I'm learning and I'm growing and I'm getting better .
Speaker 4I would recommend Strengths Communicator Training to anyone who has a passion for their strengths and wants to bring that into the world .
Speaker 3My greatest takeaway from Strengths Communicator Training is that I can actually do this . Brian and Linda do an amazing job facilitating , very engaging . The structure makes a lot of sense and you actually leave there being able to apply what you learned .
Speaker 4Brian and Linda have the ability to not only read the room but use the room to energize them as presenters and trainers .
Speaker 3They are amazing facilitators and I'm so grateful that I got the opportunity to take strengths communicator training . If it wasn't for that training , I don't think I would be where I'm at today with strengths .
Speaker 4They dig deep and you have tears and you have laughter . But from the tears and laughter you have so much growth and their support is amazing .
Speaker 3It is a masterclass in using strengths and you won't find a better training out there .
Speaker 2Thank you so much , brian and Sarah , for sharing for some time . Maybe the time is now . What we want to say is that this training is very interactive and we want to give you the best of the best that we have learned . There are four main takeaways from this training . The first takeaway is that you will have learned the leadership , vision , approach and philosophy to strengths .
Speaker 2At the heart of what we teach is that strengths are not prescriptive . It's not memorizing a bunch of information . It is fine tuning and helping people describe what those strengths look like in them as individuals . At the heart of this training , you will become a better story listener . The second takeaway is that you will identify your personal style , how you will host , how you will conduct your conversations in a way that helps unlock and unfold who people are and how they show up in the world .
Speaker 2The third takeaway is that we hope that you will have obtained skills and and knowledge to apply strengths to your context uniquely . And the fourth takeaway is that you will have familiarized yourself with the complexity and behavioral nuances of all 34 themes of strength . We know that that's a lifelong process and we want to help people identify some of the talents and behaviors that that give you a sense of maybe . These are how strengths are playing together , how they're pairing together , how they show up and why they show up in certain , certain contexts . At the end of the day , we hope that your confidence will be bolstered and that you will have fun in the whole process .
