  • Season Two Wrap Up: with Sarah and Bill
    Nov 18 2025
    🎙️ Strengths on Fire — Season 2 Finale: Reflection, Highlights & The Episodes That Lit Us UpIn this season-closing conversation, Bill and Sarah celebrate the end of Season 2 with a reflective, funny, heartfelt recap of the most memorable episodes, biggest surprises, standout guests, and the lessons that reshaped their coaching work. From maximizers vs. perfectionism, competition, parenting through strengths, and navigating workplace conflict, this finale is full of insight, laughter, and the signature Strengths on Fire chemistry.🔥 Main Takeaways1. Presence vs. Future-Tripping Is a Real StruggleSarah shares the tension between wanting to stay present and the mental load of holidays, hosting, travel, and planning kids’ summers months in advance. Bill, meanwhile, struggles with thinking ahead at all — especially in business planning.2. Family-Run Businesses Bring a Unique EnergyBill has been coaching more multigenerational companies and finds the trust dynamic inspiring — a reminder that strengths work lands deeply when families are involved.3. Jamal Cornelius’ Episode Was a Masterclass in MaximizerHis MVP (Minimum Viable Product) approach and honest conversation about marital dynamics around perfectionism created one of the most powerful episodes of the season.4. Tara Grohovec Redefined Strengths in ConflictHer “intent vs. impact” framework helped coaches understand that CliftonStrengths isn't “too nice” for conflict — it’s one of the best ways to navigate it effectively.5. Pamela Nelson Brought Empathy to the C-SuiteHer Inside Out analogy and therapeutic background showcased how empathy can be a strategic superpower for leaders, not a liability.6. Woo vs. Relator Was a Surprise Fan FavoriteSarah and her grad-school friend Anna unintentionally created a mini-therapy session about friendship, pursuit, energy, depth, and how these two themes collide beautifully (and awkwardly) in real life.7. Brandon Miller Made Competition Make SenseHe reframed competition as preparation, excellence, and drive — not “stab-you-in-the-face energy.” Even low-competition folks (like Bill and Sarah) walked away with new appreciation.8. Melissa Ortiz Delivered the Best Pivot of the SeasonWith full command energy, she changed the episode topic minutes before recording and delivered a clear stance: “Don’t retest.” Her bold clarity showed why she’s such a strong coach and podcaster.9. Parenting Through Strengths Hit HomeBoth Kelly Dries and Liz Volker (from Season 1) modeled what it looks like to use strengths language at home: recognition, emotional validation, seeing kids’ natural talents, and aiming strengths early.10. Simon Hurry Possibly Broke Everyone’s BrainHis psychology-driven approach showed why strengths is a high-performance lever — used by elite teams and leaders. His “influencing equals energy” framework redefined how the hosts coach.11. Recognition Is the Antidote to Today’s Deficit CultureSarah’s “soapbox moment” made a powerful case: the world is overwhelmed by negativity, disengagement, and doom. Recognition — water, not champagne — is how leaders rebuild wellbeing.12. Strengths on Fire Works Because It’s Real TalkUnlike polished corporate content, this show offers real stories, banter, personal honesty, and practical insight into how strengths actually show up in real lives.🎧 Sound Bites1. “It’s officially Season 2 — and officially our Season 2 wrap party!”2. “It’s okay to strive for excellence… but let’s avoid exhaustion.”3. “CliftonStrengths isn’t too nice for conflict — it’s your best tool for navigating it.”4. “Just because I made a mistake doesn’t mean I am a mistake. If I think I’m a mistake, I’m mistaken.”5. “Woo needs Relator, and Relator needs Woo — that tension makes relationships meaningful.”6. “The first word of Woo… is winning. Competition is everywhere.”7. “Influencing themes? They’re all about energy in the room.”8. “Don’t retest. No. Don’t.” (Melissa dropping the hammer)9. “Your CliftonStrengths results aren’t a personality quiz — they’re your DNA.”10. “Recognition is the antidote to today’s deficit culture.”11. “Parents: start strength-spotting now. What you notice becomes their confidence.”12. “If your strengths feel boring — they’re probably brilliant.”13. “We don’t want strengths to sit on a shelf. We want you to manhandle them in real life.”14. “We’re not shooting a podcast for a bit — so yes, hire us!”Sarah’s Top 10: Positivity | Woo | Communication | Harmony | Activator | Developer | Input | Individualization | Responsibility | ArrangerBill’s Top 10: Individualization | Developer | Activator | Woo | Restorative | Empathy | Harmony | Connectedness | Relator | LearnerGET MORE FROM BILL AND SARAHBill's info: https://billdippel.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamdippel/ https://www.instagram.com/billdippelcoach...

  • What's the Biggest Mistake Companies Make After Introducing CliftonStrengths: with Jon Sexton
    Nov 11 2025

    Ever wondered how a “no, thanks” can turn into a “heck yes” for culture transformation? In this high-energy, laugh-filled episode, Bill and Sarah sit down with Jon Sexton of Vibrant Credit Union — a former higher-ed pro turned culture architect — to talk about how he built a thriving CliftonStrengths culture that actually sticks.

    From early haircuts and harmony to friendship at work and fiery WOO energy, this episode hits every note on what makes teams thrive (and sometimes just survive).


    💥 Sound Bites You’ll Love:

    • “If we set the bar a little lower, we can all jump over it.” – Jon Sexton
    • “I think the most underrated skill on a team might just be love.” – Sarah Collins
    • “Let’s not forward-cast so far that we miss what’s right in front of us.” – Bill Dippel
    • “Positivity is an amplifier in both directions.” – Jon Sexton
    • “When I’m excited, everybody knows it. Sometimes I’m on a scooter.” – Jon Sexton

    🔥 Key Moments:

    • [03:30] Sarah gets real about love and friendship at work — and why the best teams care deeply.
    • [07:52] Jon’s big truth: Companies trip up chasing perfection instead of progress.
    • [14:30] From “I’ll never work in finance” to “Let’s build a strengths culture!” — Jon’s unexpected leap.
    • [26:12] Why “pick a lane” matters: Enneagram, Hogan, or CliftonStrengths — just commit!
    • [37:51] The danger of “labels not language” — how strengths get lost when leaders don’t follow through.
    • [45:13] The magic of managers like Claire — proof that leadership can literally lift engagement scores.
    • [53:13] Dumpster fire moments and why even “Mr. Positivity” sometimes needs a reset.
    • [57:06] The inside joke revealed — how an email misfire almost kept Jon off the show!

  • Is CliftonStrengths Just A Fancier Personality Test or is it Really Different: with Simon Hurry
    Nov 4 2025

    This week, Sarah Collins and Bill Dippel take us on a transcontinental strengths journey — all the way to South Africa — to chat with the dynamic and insightful Simon Hurry.

    From the moment Simon joins the conversation, it’s clear this isn’t your typical strengths talk. He brings the fire of a scientist, the heart of a teacher, and the conviction of a true influencer. Together, the trio digs into one of the most common questions coaches and clients ask:
    👉 Is CliftonStrengths really different, or is it just another personality test with better branding?

    Simon makes his case — and it’s compelling. He explains how CliftonStrengths goes beyond typology and into the psychological DNA of what makes each person unique. He draws on his background in biology, teaching, and coaching to show how our themes not only shape our behavior but reveal how we think, process, and create confidence.

    Expect plenty of “aha” moments as the hosts unpack:

    • The difference between personality typing and strengths DNA
    • Why confidence, not just awareness, drives real performance
    • How to move from amateur to mastery in using your strengths
    • The hidden science behind how our talents shape our psychology and relationships

    It’s part philosophy, part science, and 100% inspiring. Simon’s blend of humor, clarity, and depth will make you see CliftonStrengths — and maybe yourself — in a brand-new light.
