Lead Through Strengths
Lisa Cummings
Lisa Cummings helps 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. Season 1: Career Q&A Season 2: Strengths Interviews Season 3: StrengthsFinder Q&A (also known as CliftonStrengths assessment) Season 4: Team Building 12 Week Strengths Challenge Season 5: One StrengthsFinder Talent Theme Per Week: Career Branding Adjectives for your personal brand, red flag situations for that talent theme, and action items to put that talent to use Season 6: Nine Core Concepts of Strengths Season 7: Facilitator Interviews (because, who needs Lisa only - we have lots of other great StrengthsFinder trainers for you) Season 8: CliftonStrengths Customer Q&A Season 9: The Foundations of Strengths and Mindset Season 10: Coach the Coach - Brea and Lisa help you build your independent coaching practice, or implement strengths into your work culture Season 11: Lisa wrote scripts for each of the 34 CliftonStrengths talent themes. The episodes are read by Andy Dandy, her AI voice actor. There's a lot of confusion about the name of the assessment because it is difficult to spell (or put the singular/plural in the right spot), and it has changed names. 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. In addition: here are some hot topic areas covered by audience questions so far: Getting promoted; discovering your strengths; differentiating yourself; coaching and feedback; marketing, branding, and promoting yourself; getting unstuck; developing your direct reports; noticing what works on your team; connecting and networking; personal leadership; politics and perceptions at the office; getting viewed as an A player; building trust and influence at work or in your industry; being a people-leader that you want to be, even when you're short on time; how to get your creative mojo back; understanding how your EQ (emotional intelligence) is more important than your IQ at work; stuff you didn't learn in business school that's hurting your career; getting unstuck and un-trapped; being a better leader; solving problems; getting past confusion; aligning your mind, body, and purpose in life; managing major life transitions; and taking a minute to reflect on what you really want in life

The Defiant Career | Career Strategy for Women in Medicine
The Defiant Career is a podcast about career strategy for women in medicine, hosted by Dr. Qaali Hussein, a double board-certified trauma surgeon and mother of six. It teaches women physicians how to advance their careers and navigate hostile workplace cultures without burning out. For three years, I interviewed accomplished women on this show. Surgeons, founders, lawyers, executives. Different fields, different decades, different lives. Every one of them had been handed the same advice: work twice as hard, prove yourself, earn your seat, and figure out the rest of your life on the side. Every one of them paid the same price. Burnout. Exhaustion. Health and relationships. No guarantee the success was even waiting at the end. I know, because I am one of them. After 15 years of becoming a trauma surgeon, raising six children, and following every rule I was given, I nearly walked away from medicine in my first year as an attending. That is not bad luck. When the same advice produces the same outcome across every field and every decade, it is not a personal failing. It is a strategy problem. I call it the compliant strategy. It works exactly as designed. It just was not designed for you to win. This show is about the alternative. I call it the Defiant Career Strategy, and it is what I built out of necessity the year I almost quit. Every other week, I go deep on one decision the compliant strategy has been quietly making for you: when to speak up and how to survive it, what caregiving actually costs your career, how to advance inside a workplace culture that was never built for you, and why the burnout was never a discipline problem. This is for women in medicine who are done being told to persevere. Women of color who have watched their specific challenges go unaddressed even in the rooms built to address them. Physician mothers who were promised the career and the flexibility and only ever got the career. You cannot out-excel a system that was never built for you.
