Welcome back! In this episode, Leah wraps up the topic of unity in our uniqueness.

In the last few episodes, Leah has shared her discussion that she presented on, and so far, she’s talked about personality, experience, capacity, and values and that they’re important to understand so we can understand both ourselves and others. She also shared how understanding those things is an uncommon understanding.

In this episode, she continues with this uncommon understanding and communication and how important clear communication is for unity. She shares Heather Holleman’s four mindsets of a loving conversation from her book, The Six Conversations. With each mindset, she explains and expands on them and how they help with clear communication and foster conversation and connection. She also shares some tips on having those conversations and connecting with others. Leah then goes on to explain how being seen and known creates unity and how important it is for building connections.

Welcome back! In this episode, Leah continues with the topic of uniqueness and unity. In the last two episodes, Leah talked about personality and how we’re unique in that regard. This week, she talks about other areas that we are unique in and how it’s important to understand our differences so we can better accept and understand others.

Leah shares how our experiences contribute to make us one of a kind - experience from our entrance into the world until today. Beyond personality and experiences, our values motivate and frame how we see the world around us and our experiences in it. Leah defines values and gives some examples of how they impact us. The least element she discussed was capacity, how much we can comfortably take on.

Each of us is uniquely complex. Personality, experiences, values, and capacity represent some but not all of the factors that make us unique individuals. Leah shares how important it is to understand these things about ourselves and each other and experience unity even in our differences.

Now that we have this uncommon understanding about ourselves and others, Leah will wrap up this discussion in the next episode and explain what we do with this uncommon understanding. Tune in next time!

Welcome back! In this episode, Leah is picking up where she left off last time with the topic of unity in our uniqueness.

Last week, she shared the first part of her conference presentation which discusses the question of whether unity means uniformity, and she explains our differences through the lens of a personality model called the DISC model. She explained the first two types, which are more outgoing types, so in this episode, she’ll be continuing with how we can be unified in our uniqueness and explain the more reserved types, “S” and “C.”

She shares how these two types view the world and interact in it, while also sharing how they may struggle and gives some tips for those who are these types as well as some for those who work with these types. She also gives some biblical examples.

Understanding the four DISC types can help us to better understand ourselves and others and how they operate so that we can adjust ourselves and better support those around us.

Leah shares a practical story about how not utilizing her understanding around DISC caused a frustrating experience. She reflects on how implementing and applying her own frameworks around stress management allows her to readjust quickly and regain equilibrium in situations where life feels out of control.
