Listen in as Lisa, TyAnn Osborn and I dive into the topics of reforming workaholism and doing less, better.

In this week's podcast, Doug and Ty talk about the power of words and how we have to sometimes "adjust the volume" based on our Strengths and our audience.

Today we're joined by Alexsys Thompson, Strengths coach, friend and author of newly released book, "The Power of a Graceful Leader".

From The Involvement Practice, meet Tim McCleary.  We've benefited first-hand from Tim's help with our virtual studio set-up. What a difference! Listen in as Tim shares his expertise and advice on virtual meetings and how the human-touch side of meetings is as important now as it has ever been.

In this week's Breakfast with Bacon podcast, we welcome Leah Keogh! Leah learned early that "you'll relax when you realize what you bring to the table".

TyAnn Osborn turns the tables on Doug as he becomes the interviewee in this week's Breakfast with Bacon. Listen in as they talk about Strengths superpowers and how to hire objectively to identify the best fitting candidate with complementary Strengths.  There's even a "lightning round" Q&A to close it out.

We're back and this week we have Gallup's very own, Dean Jones. Dean, co-host TyAnn Osborn and Doug talk about the ongoing importance of communication and how it helps with organizational stability and business resilience.

Meet Lea Williams! She recently finished her Ph.D. and Master’s in Organizational Science and has taken a new job at PMA Consulting, LLC.

In this week's Breakfast with Bacon, hear how TyAnn Osborn is utilizing (and adapting) her future-oriented CliftonStrengths in these times of uncertainty.
