Welcome to Leading with Strings, where we dive deep into the minds of the most remarkable individuals in the world. Hosted by Gallup CEO, John Clifton, this podcast goes beyond a series of interesting interviews. It's a masterclass in harnessing strengths. We'll sit down with visionaries, icons, executives, world leaders, and more, as they reveal the hidden layers of their own unique strengths. As you listen to their trials, triumphs, lessons and advice, consider the greatest strength story is yet to unfold. Your own. The insights and inspiration inside of Leading with Strings are here to enable you to shape your path through the world, using the strengths that uniquely define you. Today, we have the privilege of welcoming Ariana Huffington, CEO of Thrive Global to the podcast. A trailblazing entrepreneur, author and advocate, Ariana has been a driving force in reshaping the way we perceive success, well-being, and the importance of balancing our lives. Before becoming a global thought leader, Ariana co-founded one of the most influential digital media platforms of our time, The Huffington Post, redefining how news and stories are shared. Her journey from media mogul to mindfulness advocate has been nothing short of inspiring, and her commitment to wellness and self-care has set a new standard for leaders and individuals alike. Ariana's top five Clifton strengths are connectedness, strategic, learner, achiever, and intellectual. Let's get started.
