When we started digging into using our CliftonStrengths to help our clients mitigate burnout, this research was transformative!
Did you know that not only do our shape the way we think we should respond when we're experiencing burnout, but our first instinct on how to respond is often misguided?
Check out this latest research on how your dominant strengths domain 'instincts' might feel right, but a more intentional approach proves to be more effective.
Excuse us while we go for a walk and think about our current situation as a challenge. 🤔😉😏

Watching my own kids navigate this has been eye opening, even after years of doing this work with adults.

My son Charlie is going to be a Junior at Purdue University, and before he even started classes, he had to take a strengths assessment. Purdue builds CliftonStrengths right into how they support students from day one.

Gallup just released a new Strengths for Students report, and I couldn't believe how much more it does than a typical results page. It doesn't just hand a student five strengths. It shows how their specific combination of strengths actually works together, how they learn, how they make decisions, how they work with other people.

No two students are alike. I'm relearning that in real time as I help my younger son start visiting college campuses too.

The world these kids are walking into is changing fast, and this isn't a report that points them to one major or one job. It's something they can keep using as things keep changing.

We're opening this up as a workshop for students to discuss how to use the tools in their own lives. I'll drop a sample of the report in the comments. If you'd like more info on the workshop, comment "strengths" and I'll send it your way.

Did you know AI has been around since 1950?

Alan Turing asked whether a machine could 'think for itself,' and by 1952 there was already a computer program that could learn from its own mistakes playing checkers.

Seventy-plus years later, here we are. 🤔

Curious where the Aspen Root community lands on this one: do you have a go-to AI tool, and what do you actually use it for? Drafting emails, brainstorming, research, something else? Our team uses AI in our work too, and like most tools, it's only as good as the judgment behind it.

Drop your favorite tools, tips (or your skepticism) below. We're curious how you're celebrating.

Some of the best growth happens away from the everyday branches, in the quiet work of tending roots.

That's what our own Amy Neal got to do this month, facilitating the Indiana CTO Council's annual board retreat and strategic planning session. This group shows up every day to support, connect, and empower the K-12 technology leaders across our state, the people making sure classrooms have what they need to teach and learn well.

Amy spent 20+ years in education herself, including time as an innovation and tech coach, so she knows this work from the inside. She brought a strengths lens to the room, helping the board dig into what makes their team distinct and how to build strategy around those strengths instead of around a generic playbook.

Grateful for the trust to be part of their planning. Indiana schools are lucky to have a council this committed to getting technology right for Hoosier kids.

It helps to be at a beautiful location again! Thanks for hosting, Central Indiana Educational Service Center (CIESC)!

Today marks a big one. We just wrapped "Rooted In Strengths", the final Intro to CliftonStrengths session in our series for the team at .

Every person on their team has now taken the assessment and been through the 4-hour workshop. Every branch. Three years in the making. Now that's commitment!

More to come on how Community State Bank is growing its commitment to its team through and 's Q12 employee engagement survey.

Thank you to Tira Bussing, SVP and Director of HR at CSB, who has championed this work from day one. We can't wait to keep growing with you and your team!

Today, we're celebrating two years of Aspen Root Collective, and we're not going to pretend we saw all of this coming. We didn't know we'd be building career workshops for high schoolers. We didn't know how many "aha" moments we'd get to witness in a Q12 debrief, or how much we'd come to love watching a team finally understand why they click, or clash, the way they do. We didn't know how many of you would become not just clients, but genuine champions of this work. We definitely didn't imagine traveling beyond Northeast Indiana, but here we are...loving every minute of it!
What we did know was this: people thrive when they understand what they do best, and organizations thrive when they build around that truth. Two years later, we believe that more than ever.
So today, we're celebrating. The wins, the learning curves, the clients who trusted us before we'd fully figured it all out, and the ones who are still with us now. Two years in, and we are more rooted in this work than we've ever been.
If you've been curious about what working with us could look like, but haven't taken the leap, consider this your sign. We'd love to celebrate this milestone by getting to know you and your team. Drop us a comment or DM to book a Discovery Call. We want to hear about what your hopes and dreams are for your team and see if we can help.
Here's to year three. 🌱
