Finding Strengths: The Essence of Encouragement (Podcast Episode 18)

Join Louisa and Marjie Longshore at their kitchen table as they talk about an essential aspect of encouragement: finding strengths. They explore a powerful, and surprisingly simple, strategy for turning interpersonal challenges into shared successes, fostering more connection, fun, and engagement. Louisa shares how she built a habit of strength-finding in others (and herself) and grew a stronger team at work as a result.

💬Join the Conversation: Your ideas and questions matter. We’d love to hear how you helped your child (or yourself) find your strengths. Or if you struggle, let us know, we can work on it together.
