Episode 92: Thrive as a Facilitator with Joanna Wiesinger Ph.D.
This week on the show, I’m reconnecting with Joanna Wieseinger Ph.D from Thrive With Strengths, who I nearly ‘met’ at the CliftonStrengths conference in Omaha earlier this year (you’ll hear the story on this episode).
This week on the show, I’m reconnecting with Joanna Wieseinger Ph.D from Thrive With Strengths, who I nearly ‘met’ at the CliftonStrengths conference in Omaha earlier this year (you’ll hear the story on this episode).
As a Certified Gallup CliftonStrengths trainer, Joanna helps leaders and their teams find the right conditions to THRIVE WITH STRENGTHS daily for greater impact. Joanna leans into her own "superpowers" and over 15 years of experience using CliftonStrengths to reach beyond a one-size-fits all approach.
When working with individuals, Joanna designs sessions to help her clients see the power of their inherent talents and how they can grow them into bona fide strengths.
Joanna's team workshops transform a group of individuals who work together daily to a team that relies on its members' strengths to reach a common goal.
As a speaker, Joanna brings both science and story telling to her audiences as she inspires them to be more effective leaders by discovering for themselves what is strong about them.
Joanna's goal is for each of us to find the right conditions to activate and THRIVE WITH STRENGTHS daily, so that we can have greater impact on others.
In this episode, she shares how she uses stories to open her workshops, her philosophy (and a very neat acronym) she uses for her icebreakers, as well as the not-so-secret weapon she brings out to end her workshops.
She also shares how the Strengths approach has helped her personally; and how she uses it to help individuals, teams and organisations thrive in the work that they do.
