Listen "Strengths Applied: Hybrid & Remote Work w/ Michael Stafford"
Episode Synopsis
What do you do when your talents don't match with your working environment?This is one of the key questions we explore in this episode with our good friend and returning guest coach, Michael Stafford from The Chapter Coach. Join us for a lively conversation about how our talents often impact our "ideal" work environments; and how a "one-size-fits-all" approach is often ineffective. We also dive into the challenges and opportunities that have reshaped our work environments since the COVID-19 pandemic. You will find practical tips for those who long to be seen and heard, regardless of their physical work location, and for new managers navigating the complexities of managing people across multiple locations and workstyles. Get ready for a good dose of personal experiences, humor, and data.KEY MOMENTS00:00 Introduction & Welcome01:49 The “Why” & Statistics 05:02 Personal Experiences 05:31 Challenges & Opportunities 12:40 The Importance of Individual Work Styles16:40 Using Talents to Navigate Hybrid Work26:55 Changing Mindset in a Hybrid Model29:09 Balancing Remote and Office Work31:15 Creating Moments of Visibility40:08 Proactive Leadership for New Managers47:31 Key Takeaways for SuccessRESOURCES:Michael Stafford’s blog postThe Future of the Office (Gallup)Boosting Productivity in Hybrid Teams (Gallup)OUR GUEST:Michael Stafford @ The Chapter CoachLinkedIn | WebsiteMichael’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Maximizer | Input | Individualization | Relator | HarmonyYOUR HOSTS: Jen Werner @ Jen Werner Coaching Facebook | LinkedIn | WebsiteJen’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Responsibility | Achiever | Belief | Deliberative | Activator Chad Ahern @ Talent and Teams Consulting LinkedIn | WebsiteChad’s Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Learner | Deliberative | Responsibility | Harmony | Analytical To learn more about CliftonStrengths talent themesThe opinions and insights we share on each CliftonStrengths theme are our own and are based on our understanding of Gallup’s Strengths-based development research.
