Maximizing Your Strengths
In this episode of Job Search for High-Performing Misfits, host Melissa Vining sits down with Colleen DelVecchio—Gallup-certified CliftonStrengths coach, career strategist, keynote speaker, and host of the Embrace the Squiggle podcast. Together, they explore how discovering and leaning into your strengths can change everything—your career path, your job search strategy, your confidence, and even your quality of life. Colleen shares practical advice and powerful stories about how strengths show up differently depending on the environment, and why the same trait that got you fired in one job might make you shine in another. From identifying the common thread in your career story to using your strengths to reframe your resume, answer interview questions, and avoid burnout, this episode offers a fresh take on career growth for people who don’t always fit neatly into boxes.
