  • Can Competition Ruin the Culture: with Jessica Novich
    2025/08/05

    Ever worked somewhere that felt like a leaderboard instead of a team? If you’ve ever felt tension around competitiveness at work—or wondered how some teams manage to make it energizing instead of exhausting—this episode is for you.

    In today’s conversation, Sarah and Bill welcome Jessica Novich, COO of Full Tilt Logistics, a fast-growing family-run company where three of the five leadership team members have high Competition in their CliftonStrengths—and she doesn’t. Jessica brings a refreshing take on how family, fun, and feedback can turn competition into connection, and how strengths-based coaching helped transform potential tension into team trust. Whether you work with family, lead a competitive team, or just want to build a healthier culture, you’ll walk away with insights, laughter, and ideas to apply right away.

    🔥 7 Main Takeaways:

    1. Competition isn’t inherently toxic—but it must be coached and contextualized to help a culture thrive.
    2. Jessica’s harmony and positivity balance out high competition in her leadership team, showing how complementary strengths matter.
    3. Working with family adds complexity—but can also deepen trust and communication if the roles and vision are clear.
    4. Fun rituals like cornhole tournaments and “Monarch of Brokerage” awards turn competitiveness into camaraderie.
    5. Coaching and strengths awareness help surface misalignment before it turns into resentment or silos.
    6. Every strength can be a firework or a dumpster fire—self-awareness is the difference.
    7. Culture trickles down from the top; how leaders use their strengths directly influences how people show up at work.

    💥 Sound Bites:

    1. “Competition doesn’t ruin cultures—unmanaged competition does.”
    2. “You can walk out of a job, but you can’t walk out of family.”
    3. “My first reaction to your org chart was fear… and also fascination.”
    4. “We work hard, play hard, and sometimes fight hard—but always come back to trust.”
    5. “I’m not strategic, and that’s okay—because someone else on the team is.”
    6. “If you can leverage competition to build community, not a leaderboard, you’re doing it right.”
    7. “We’ve created a workplace where it’s okay to be blunt—and that honesty keeps resentment low.”
    8. “I show up to meetings like, ‘Good morning!’ even when the tension’s high—and that changes the tone.”
    9. “My positivity and harmony are like bubble wrap around the sharp edges of competition.”
    10. “I oversee HR and I have Harmony… which means write-ups are my personal nightmare.”
    11. “We crowned someone ‘Most Likely to Clap When the Plane Lands’—because culture should have a sense of humor.”
    12. “Our culture works because we put people in the right seats and actually understand what they need.”
    13. “Sometimes, the competition shows up as subtle ranking… and sometimes it’s a full-on cornhole trophy.”
    14. “My husband has Harmony and Competition in his top five—and honestly, that’s a mystery I’m still trying to solve.”
    15. “Strengths don’t ruin culture—misalignment and miscommunication do.”

  • Can Woo Be Annoying?: with Rachel Kagay
    2025/07/29

    In this bold and hilarious episode, Sarah and Bill are joined by guest Rachel Kagay—a coach, speaker, and unapologetic Woo—to ask the question so many have wondered: Can Woo be annoying? Together, they dig into the reputation, realities, and power of the CliftonStrengths theme Woo (Winning Others Over). Rachel brings humor, heart, and hard-won wisdom as she shares what it’s like to lead with Woo in a world that doesn’t always embrace high energy, visibility, or emotional expression. From awkward introductions to deep connections, they explore how Woo can be misunderstood—and how, when used with intention, it becomes a tool for trust-building, momentum, and genuine human connection.

    Main Takeaways

    1. Woo isn’t just about being outgoing—it’s about connection, momentum, and emotional awareness.
    2. People with Woo can unintentionally come off as overwhelming or performative in the wrong setting.
    3. Mature Woo learns to read the room and doesn’t need to be the center of it.
    4. Woo builds trust quickly, which can be a massive asset in coaching, leadership, and sales.
    5. The dark side of Woo is using energy to mask insecurity or avoid depth.
    6. Woo and Relator often get compared, but both are powerful in their own way.
    7. With self-awareness, Woo becomes less about being liked—and more about making people feel seen

    Sound Bites

    1. “Can Woo be annoying? Uh… yeah. Especially when it’s immature or unconscious.”
    2. “I can’t help it—I want everyone in the room to like me. But I’m working on that.”
    3. “Woo walks in with ‘party starter’ energy… and sometimes that’s not what the room needs.”
    4. “You don’t outgrow Woo—but you can outgrow needing to be loved by everyone.”
    5. “I had to learn that silence doesn’t mean I failed to connect—it just means people connect differently.”
    6. “Woo isn’t about talking—it’s about reading people.”
    7. “When used well, Woo makes people feel welcome, important, and remembered.”
    8. “If you’ve got Woo and no self-awareness, you might just be draining the room.”
    9. “Woo wants to win people over… but mature Woo asks, ‘Why? For what purpose?’”
    10. “Relator and Woo aren’t opposites—they’re just different timelines of connection.”
    11. “I used to chase being liked. Now I focus on making people feel seen.”
    12. “The tension isn’t Woo vs. depth—it’s Woo without intention vs. Woo with purpose.”
    13. “Woo helps you open the door… but you still have to walk through it with something real.”
    14. “The best compliment to Woo is someone who grounds you and helps you aim it.”
    15. “Woo isn’t shallow—it just likes to start at the surface before diving deeper.”

  • The Best Strength For Starting Something New?: with Natalie Becerra
    2025/07/22

    What does it really take to start something new? In this lively and thoughtful episode, Sarah, Bill, and guest Natalie Becerra explore how different CliftonStrengths can help you move from idea to action—and why there’s no “best” strength, only the best one for you. Natalie opens up about her love of Ideation and Strategic, and how they create both brilliance and tension when starting something new. Whether you launch fast with Activator, build the vision with Strategic, research endlessly with Input, or analyze every angle with Deliberative, this episode will help you embrace your own starting style, ditch the guilt of “not doing enough,” and learn how to aim your strengths with more intention.

    Main Takeaways

    1. There’s no single best strength for starting something new—only the one that helps you begin with clarity.
    2. Strengths like Ideation and Strategic bring depth to the start by connecting patterns and purpose.
    3. Activator may launch fast, but Strategic, Input, and Analytical provide crucial substance and direction.
    4. Starting isn’t always a confident leap—it can be a layered, messy process driven by intention and reflection.
    5. Balancing quick-start energy with long-game thinking helps avoid burnout or overwhelm.
    6. Overthinking can stall progress, but fear often hides behind “research” or “analysis.”
    7. Knowing your strengths helps you start better by honoring your natural rhythm instead of copying someone else’s.

    Sound Bites

    1. “I see the patterns that nobody else sees—and then I can’t not do something about it.”
    2. “Starting strong doesn’t always mean starting fast.”
    3. “Ideation is a waterfall—you think it’s one drop, and suddenly it’s pouring ideas you didn’t know were connected.”
    4. “I always want to jump—but my Strategic whispers, ‘let’s think this through first.’”
    5. “Woo gets the room excited, but Strategic maps the way forward.”
    6. “Sometimes I’m chasing shiny new ideas, and future-me is like, ‘Really? You signed me up for that?’”
    7. “Deliberative and Input don’t stop you from starting—they help you start wisely.”
    8. “There’s so much power in pausing before you leap.”
    9. “Your starting line doesn’t have to look like mine.”
    10. “If you’re starting out of obligation, it’s not going to stick.”
    11. “It’s easy to mistake movement for momentum—Strategic helps me check that.”
    12. “I always come back to: is this worth my energy?”
    13. “Sometimes the best way to start is to write. That’s how I make sense of my brain.”
    14. “Even with Woo, I don’t want to just entertain—I want to lead somewhere.”
    15. “When you understand your own strengths, you stop trying to start the way everyone else does.”

  • Are We Overhyping Achiever?: with Token Barnthouse
    2025/07/15

    In this honest, energizing, and sometimes hilariously relatable episode, Sarah and Bill ask the question so many CliftonStrengths coaches secretly wonder: Are we overhyping Achiever? They dive into the complexity of this popular strength—why it’s often praised, where it can get toxic, and how to coach it toward something more sustainable. From LinkedIn poll results to personal confessions of burnout and boundary-pushing, this conversation is both a celebration and a cautionary tale. If you’ve ever worn “busy” like a badge of honor or felt stuck on the productivity hamster wheel, this episode is your permission slip to rethink what actually matters.


    Main Takeaways

    1. Achiever is powerful, but without boundaries, it can quickly lead to burnout.
    2. Our culture rewards productivity, which makes Achiever look heroic—even when it’s unhealthy.
    3. You don’t have to earn your rest—your worth isn’t tied to how much you check off.
    4. Achiever can unintentionally create pressure or shame in teams that operate at different paces.
    5. Coaching Achiever well means helping clients define enough and celebrate progress, not just completion.
    6. Pairing Achiever with relational or reflective strengths helps balance the drive.
    7. The real flex isn’t doing more—it’s knowing when to stop.


    Sound Bites

    1. “Just because it’s productive doesn’t mean it’s healthy.”
    2. “The grind is glorified—but at what cost?”
    3. “I used to think my to-do list defined my value.”
    4. “Achiever is a strength… until it becomes a compulsion.”
    5. “You can love your Achiever and still learn to rest.”
    6. “Busy is not a personality trait.”
    7. “Achievers often don’t know what ‘done’ feels like—because there’s always more.”
    8. “The most rebellious thing an Achiever can do? Take a nap without guilt.”
    9. “Our poll showed most people think Achiever is great with boundaries—and that feels exactly right.”
    10. “Sometimes the Achiever voice in your head is just a little too loud.”
    11. “Achievement for achievement’s sake can start to feel pretty hollow.”
    12. “I see Achiever like a race car—it’s fast, powerful, and it needs pit stops.”
    13. “Coaching Achievers isn’t about slowing them down—it’s about helping them go further without crashing.”
    14. “Achievement is awesome… until you realize you forgot to enjoy any of it.”
    15. “We’re not here to cancel Achiever—but we are saying, maybe it needs a coach.”

  • Can Strengths Make You A Better Parent/Partner: with Dr. Kelly Dries
    2025/07/08

    In this heartfelt and humorous episode, Sarah and Bill welcome Dr. Kelly Dries to explore the question: Can your strengths make you a better parent or partner? With two young kids and a coaching career built around helping women lead with confidence, Kelly shares real-life moments of joy, overwhelm, and self-awareness that will resonate with anyone who’s ever tried to keep their cool during a toddler meltdown or found themselves “shoulding” their way through parenting. The conversation dives into how strengths can either fuel connection or become a dumpster fire—unless we aim them intentionally. From bedtime chaos to partner dynamics, this episode reminds us that self-awareness isn’t just for work—it’s a parenting and relationship superpower too.

    Main Takeaways

    1. Self-awareness is the first step in using your strengths effectively at home.
    2. Achiever can be a gift or a trap—it all depends on how you define “productive.”
    3. Parenting is constant, evolving, and doesn’t allow for “reassigning roles”—you have to do it all.
    4. Being present sometimes means letting go of what you “should” do and leaning into what your kids need.
    5. Your strengths can show up differently at home than at work—and that’s okay.
    6. Understanding your partner’s strengths helps you avoid unnecessary conflict and misinterpretation.
    7. Recognizing and naming your child’s emerging strengths fosters confidence and connection.


    Sound Bites

    1. “I want a clean house, but do I want it more than I want connection?”
    2. “I used to think achiever made me productive—until I realized I was burning myself out on my kids’ bedtime routines.”
    3. “You might be an incredible teenage parent… just because the baby stage is hard doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.”
    4. “My kids don’t care about the 800-books milestone—I care. And that was my wake-up call.”
    5. “Parenting is a masterclass. My strengths have been my survival kit.”
    6. “Empathy is where I shine—give me a tantrum and I’m in my element.”
    7. “No shuffling in parenting—you have to play all the roles, all the time.”
    8. “Sometimes you fall in love with a strength in your partner… then that same strength drives you nuts later.”
    9. “I’m not a naturally fun mom—I have to plan fun.”
    10. “In parenting, being present is the work.”
    11. “We’re always correcting our kids, but what if we started recognizing what they’re doing right?”
    12. “I love books so much, I accidentally turned reading into a performance metric.”
    13. “Strengths don’t just make us better parents—they help us forgive ourselves when we fall short.”
    14. “Your child’s refusal to hug you doesn’t mean you’re a bad grandparent—they just might be wired differently.”
    15. “You’re tired because you’re doing 1,000 things a day. Give yourself some damn grace.”

  • Is Responsibility Heavy AF? With Becky Murway
    2025/07/01

    Is your sense of duty lifting you—or crushing you?

    If you’ve ever felt the weight of always being the one people count on, this episode is your permission slip to pause. We’re diving into the CliftonStrengths theme of Responsibility, especially when it shows up in overdrive. Sarah and Bill welcome Becky Murway—Director of Operations, former business owner, and all-around executing powerhouse—whose #1 strength is Responsibility.


    Becky opens up about the pressures of showing up for everyone, the struggle to delegate, and how saying “yes” too often can quietly lead to burnout. Through real stories and coaching moments, she shares how she’s learning to reframe delegation, protect her energy, and celebrate her growth. Together, we unpack why Responsibility is a strength that shines—but also one that needs boundaries, strategy, and sometimes, a really great coach.


    If you’ve ever felt like the lost-and-found bin of your office or home, carrying the weight others drop, this episode is your reminder: you are not alone—and you’re allowed to carry less.


    💡 7 Main Takeaways

    1. Responsibility + Achiever = Doer overload—a powerful combo that can lead to burnout if not managed intentionally.
    2. High Responsibility often means prioritizing others at your own expense.
    3. Coaching offers essential perspective and accountability for Responsibility-driven leaders.
    4. Delegating isn’t a weakness—it’s leadership.
    5. Strategic thinking time feels unproductive to executors, but it’s crucial for growth.
    6. You need an “offensive line”—people or boundaries—to protect your capacity.
    7. Responsibility shines brightest when it’s aimed at the right things, not everything.


    🔥 Sound Bites

    1. “If I say I’ll do it, I will—even if it breaks me.”
    2. “Responsibility is my superpower… and my kryptonite.”
    3. “Just because I can carry it doesn’t mean I should.”
    4. “I’m not the lost and found anymore. I’m a carry-on bag.”
    5. “Responsibility without boundaries is a fast track to burnout.”
    6. “I used to think delegation was a dirty word.”
    7. “I’m learning to lead, not just to do.”
    8. “Coaching helps me stop, reflect, and actually celebrate.”
    9. “When your 10 is someone else’s 15, you’ve got to recalibrate.”
    10. “I used to say yes to everything—and it cost me more than I realized.”
    11. “Saying yes to everyone else often means saying no to yourself.”
    12. “Responsibility made me a rockstar… until it made me exhausted.”
    13. “My boss told me, ‘Pick one role.’ I wanted to pick five.”
    14. “Being good at everything doesn’t mean you should do everything.”
    15. “High Responsibility needs high intention.”

  • Is Competition A Superpower At Work - Or A Secret Liability? with Brandon Miller
    2025/06/24

    Ever worked with someone so driven to win it feels inspiring… or maybe exhausting?

    Brandon, whose top 10 strengths include a power-packed stack of influencing themes (including Competition, Command, and Woo), makes a compelling case for why Competition, when coached well, can elevate an entire team’s performance.


    In this episode of Strengths on Fire, Sarah and Bill dive into a bold, energizing debate with fellow strengths coach Brandon Miller. You’ll hear stories from Brandon’s life as a coach, dad, and leader, including what pickleball taught him about performance, and why a driven eighth grader became his most inspiring MVP. They explore how Competition fuels preparation, why some of the best performers make the worst coaches, and how to spot the line between healthy drive and team disruption.

    Plus, if Competition is nowhere in your top 10, don’t worry—this episode is packed with insight into how other strengths (like Woo, Achiever, or Relator) can help you compete in your own way. Whether you love the thrill of winning or avoid competition at all costs, this conversation will give you a fresh lens on leadership, motivation, and how to work with (and coach) the driven people around you.


    7 Main Takeaways

    1. Conflict on strong teams is normal and healthy—avoidance is more dangerous than disagreement.
    2. Competition thrives on preparation, not just performance, and that’s where its power lies.
    3. Everyone has the potential to lead, but finding the right role for your leadership matters.
    4. High Competition can uplift a team—or derail it—depending on maturity and coaching.
    5. Woo and Competition together create a drive to win people over and win in general.
    6. Great competitors aren’t always great coaches; self-awareness is key in leadership roles.
    7. Strengths don’t operate in isolation—context, maturity, and pairing with other themes shape behavior.

    Sound Bites

    1. “Strong teams don’t avoid conflict—they work through it.”
    2. “Competition is a superpower when it’s mature, focused, and others-oriented.”
    3. “The best competitors are also the best preparers.”
    4. “Everyone wants to win, but not everyone is wired to need the win.”
    5. “High competition without maturity is just ego on display.”
    6. “Influencing themes like Competition are designed to bring people with you, not just beat them.”
    7. “Immature competition says ‘me first’; mature competition says ‘let’s rise together.’”
    8. “Great competitors show what’s possible—they raise the bar for everyone.”
    9. “Coaching a competitor is easy—just show them how to win and they’re in.”
    10. “A competitor with achiever next door is a podium threat every time.”
    11. “Losing isn’t always the worst thing for a team—it’s sometimes the greatest teacher.”
    12. “Control is the real culprit behind many dumpster fire moments, not just one strength.”
    13. “Your strengths don’t make you great—how you manage them does.”
    14. “Sometimes the best place for a high competitor isn’t on a team—it’s as an individual contributor.”
    15. “A great coach doesn’t say ‘do it like I did’—they say ‘let’s do it your way, but better.’”





    Bill's Top 10 CliftonStrengths

    1) Individualization

    2) Developer

    3) Activator

  • What If You Hate Your Strengths? with Jen Werner
    2025/06/17

    Ever looked at your CliftonStrengths results and thought, “Ugh, I don’t like these?” You’re not alone.

    In this honest and energizing episode, Sarah Collins and Bill Dippel sit down with special guest Jen Werner to explore what it really takes to embrace your strengths—especially when they don’t show up the way you expected. Jen shares her personal journey from resisting her strengths to recognizing their power, and the trio dives into the messy, beautiful work of self-awareness, coaching, and growth.You’ll hear real talk about what it’s like to dislike your results, why individualization matters, and how your strengths shape (and sometimes strain) your personal and professional relationships. Whether you’re a coach, a team leader, or someone still figuring out how to own what makes you unique, this episode will leave you feeling seen—and maybe even a little more proud of your quirks.


    🔥 7 Main Takeaways

    1. Strengths culture doesn’t happen by accident.
    2. Ambassadors and in-house coaches are game-changers.
    3. You can’t outsource culture. Bringing in a coach is powerful, but without internal commitment and leadership modeling, strengths won’t transform your team.
    4. Skeptics aren’t the problem—silence is.
    5. Professional development needs consistency.
    6. Curiosity is your secret weapon. When team dynamics get sticky, leading with curiosity over criticism builds trust and opens doors.
    7. One-size-fits-all doesn’t work. Strengths-based development is most effective when it’s tailored to the team’s culture, goals, and internal rhythms.


    💥 Sound Bites

    1. “You can’t call it culture after one workshop.”
    2. “Awareness is the spark. Application is the fire.”
    3. “Ambassadors make the magic last.”
    4. “If your team’s growth is outsourced, it’s not sustainable.”
    5. “The goal isn’t to make everyone a coach—it’s to make coaching normal.”
    6. “A good ambassador doesn’t have all the answers—they ask better questions.”
    7. “Curiosity creates culture. Criticism shuts it down.”
    8. “Skeptics can actually sharpen the system—if you let them talk.”
    9. “One workshop is a start, not a solution.”
    10. “Strengths work isn’t a checklist—it’s a commitment.”
    11. “Don’t expect culture change if no one’s following up.”
    12. “If we’re not building muscle, we’re just giving pep talks.”
    13. “Leaders don’t need to be the loudest—they need to be the most consistent.”
    14. “A coaching culture means strengths live in the day-to-day, not just the kickoff.”
    15. “If you want strengths to stick, give the work to the people—not just the facilitator.”
