Human-Centered Leadership

Liz Milner, Executive Director and facility chaplain at the Correctional Institutions Chaplaincy (CIC) in Northern California, joins Colleen for a conversation on resilience, leadership, and the quiet power of leading with deep purpose. As the head of an organization providing spiritual and emotional care to incarcerated individuals, Liz's work demands extraordinary compassion and steadiness — and in this episode, she explores where that steadiness comes from. Together, Liz and Colleen discuss how understanding your unique combination of strengths can transform even the most challenging aspects of leadership, from navigating difficult feedback to shifting between demanding roles with grace and presence.This episode highlights how strengths like explaining, connecting, and esteem building can reframe challenges into opportunities for clarity, growth, and deeply human leadership — and what becomes possible when we lead in ways that feel both effective and profoundly aligned with who we are.Episode Show NotesCIC Ministries website: https://www.cicministries.org/Introspective strength affirmation cards: https://www.introspectivecards.com/Strengths Profile assessment: https://www.strengthsprofile.com/en-us/products/freeHave a question or want to suggest a guest for the Strengths Catalyst Podcast?
