The 5 Circles of Influence are: self, family, team, organization and community. Many of us can be intentional in one or two of these areas when we take the time and effort, but it is very difficult to become intentional in all five. Jon Sakarias Liknes and Johan Haugstad of Norway open up about how they are using this tool in their own lives and to help teams get healthy.

Johan gives a great tip using the acronym HALT. Be sure to listen and learn about what this stands for and how he is better able to take responsibility for himself using this reminder.

The enneagram is a powerful personality assessment tool that looks at the core motivations and fears behind our actions. Knowing your enneagram type can help you play to your strengths, and be more mindful of your weaknesses. In a salon company, an enneagram assessment can help build better leaders, and help close communication gaps within a team. 

Our guest this episode is Jen Culverhouse, owner of Urban Eve Salon in Texas and Minnesota, Summit leadership trainer, and Certified Enneagram Coach. Jen chats with Blake about how to put the enneagram to use in salon companies, and offers a topline overview of the nine personality types. (We’ll have to have her back to go more in-depth!) Want to learn your type or book an enneagram assessment for your salon company? Get in touch with Jen below.

The Importance of Focusing on Your Strengths with Austin Suellentrop

This week we are back with another exciting episode about personality styles. Today, Kimberly talks with Austin Suellentrop, CliftonStrengths Portfolio Manager for Gallup. (Also known as StrengthsFinder)

You will learn why people learn differently and how to have conversations about each other's strengths to create better relationships. You'll also gain insight into when people are aware of their strengths, how it helps them identify and stick to their values.

After you hear this episode, you will want to find out where you land with the StrengthsFinder assessment and share this episode with your friends and your spouse. 

Today's Speaker: Austin Suellentrop, CliftonStrengths Portfolio Manager

Austin Suellentrop, CliftonStrengths Portfolio Manager, leads Gallup’s organizational strategy for growing CliftonStrengths worldwide. Through close partnership with our learning, technology, research, and client teams, he helps ensure we are staying true to the mission of CliftonStrengths while providing the tools needed to further the strengths-based approach to human development. He specializes in helping Gallup clients to bridge the gap between Gallup research and practical application in the workplace, particularly when leading through times of extraordinary change. His mission is to inspire others to action by telling stories with passion and excitement about what individuals and teams can accomplish when they have the opportunity to do what they do best.

Before joining Gallup, Austin served in a variety of roles for a major regional bank, most recently as a member of its organizational and leadership development team. He supported associate engagement programs across the company, providing data analysis and reporting and coaching teams and leaders on how to use employee engagement as a strategy to drive performance.

Austin has a passion for public speaking and that dates back as far as he can remember and has been featured as a keynote speaker for organizations across the country including TedxBirmingham. Austin is an Associate Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation and has been a guest speaker on the Gallup Called to Coach Webcast as well as an author on the Gallup Coaching Blog.

Austin received a bachelor’s degree in finance from Auburn University and a master’s degree in family financial planning and counseling from The University of Alabama. Austin spends his free time entertaining friends and family with his wife, Janna, and three daughters, Noelle, Elise, and Audrey. If you don’t find him in front of the smoker preparing BBQ for a crowd, he is likely at the softball field where he coaches a competitive youth team.

Episode 81: Austin Suellentrop, CliftonStrengths Portfolio Manager

In this episode we interview one of our own teaching mentors, Dr. Jan Wiersema of Iowa State University.

We explore how using type indicators (sometimes called personality assessments) like Myers Briggs can help faculty understand their students on a deeper level, allowing them to tailor a mentoring approach to better connect with the student.

Dr. Jan has a background in K-12 and college education and we get into some great conversation on grit as well.

We’re here for you! 

When I first started in business, I jumped at every and any opportunity to collaborate. And while a few collaborations resulted in great results, including long-lasting relationships, some were just a waste of time and energy which, let’s face it, are the most valuable resources we have!

In this episode, we provide you with a few tips you should look for when deciding whether you should collaborate or not… when the opportunity presents itself. We speak about a personality assessment called Kolbe, that you may consider incorporating as well! 

Enjoy!
