If you had to pick just one CliftonStrengths theme to change the world, which would it be? That’s the impossible—and surprisingly hilarious—question Sarah and Bill debate this week with Megan Baker, strengths enthusiast, leader, and unapologetic Achiever.
From “petty hills to die on” to tall-people problems to soapbox moments (yes, Sarah drops an f-bomb), this episode proves that a big question can spark both laughter and real insight. Together, the trio wrestle with whether Empathy, Developer, Includer—or maybe even Communication or Self-Assurance—could truly make the world better. Along the way, they explore how themes supercharge each other, why every strength has both upside and risk, and how our personal biases shape which talents we think the world needs most.
Whether you’re a coach, a leader, or just a human who’s ever wished people would follow through, listen better, or throw fewer “truck nuts” on the highway, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about what the world really needs.
Main Takeaways
Every strength could make the world better—but only if it’s invested in and applied intentionally.Developer considers other people first, but can backfire if unsolicited.Includer fuels belonging and dissolves assumptions—but can stretch people (and teams) too thin.Empathy could drive connection and compassion—but unchecked, it risks overwhelm.Communication isn’t always “good communication”—but clarity beats silence.Strengths supercharge each other: Woo + Communication, Relator + Responsibility, Achiever + Learner.The poll results are in: LinkedIn voters overwhelmingly chose Empathy (68%) as the strength that would make the world better.Balance matters—if everyone had the same strength, we’d create new problems.Sound Bites
“If we all had Includer, I’d have so many party invites I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.”“Woo has to eat—but not at home.”“Empathy is a superpower, but with great power comes great responsibility.”“Developer means considering other people first—but not everyone wants to be developed.”“Communication doesn’t equal good communication—it can just be word vomit.”“My husband says I have a daily word quota to meet.”“If we all had Self-Assurance, I don’t think our heads would fit in the world.”“Connectedness reminds us we’re a ripple effect—we’re all in this together.”“Every strength has value—but too much of any one is probably too much.”Bill's Top 10 CliftonStrengths
