Our Favorite Things - Holiday Episode!

“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things.” Happy Holidays! Now that we have you humming along to that classic holiday song, we invite you to join us today as we share some of our favorite things with our favorite people - you!  From tips to get you through the holidays to apps that will make your life easier, these are just a few of our favorite things and we hope that some of them will become your favorites as well. All the links are below.   At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe that everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor, and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys. CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts. If you are interested in learning more and taking the CliftonStrengths assessment for you or your team, please reach out to [email protected]. Comments or questions about this episode?
