Meet this week's featured guest: Dr. Valencia Moses is the Founder of Vibrant Coaching, which provides encouraging accountability for individuals or teams to move from where they are to where they would like to be personally, academically, and/or professionally. As a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, she specializes in helping people own their unique identities using the CliftonStrengths Assessment as one of the many tools to help people live their best lives on purpose.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:
What are the actual goals of assessments like DiSC or Clifton Strengths, and how do they differ
The real truth about labels and how they can harm your team when using assessments
Which assessments are regulated and which ones are not (this will shock you!) 
Dr. V.'s Book Recommendations & This week's Quote:
Successful Women Speak Differently by Valorie Burton
Atomic Habits by James Clear
“What leaders have in common is that each really knows their strengths, has developed their strengths and can call on the right strength at the right time.”
Donald O. Clifton

There are great things about every leadership style - but just like when my husband and I are out sailing we have to watch out for the danger buoys or end up stuck on a pile of rocks in the middle of the lake - which can put a damper on any great sailing day-  Every leader needs to be mindful of the downside of their leadership style.  Of course, some leaders are a combination of these styles and each person needs to take into account all of their talents and strengths, and skills.  This episode is an overview of the highlights and the downfalls of each leadership style.  Use this as a starting place to acknowledge and recognize when you are at your best and areas to watch out for and avoid! Here’s to happy sailing with Your Leadership Style!
