Podcast. I've met so many brilliant people as I traveled the globe and have had some fascinating conversations that I've wished had been recorded so I could share them with you - this podcast was a way for me to recreate those moments and let you in on some fantastic insights. My current conversations center around one objective: what's next for companies and individuals as they look to innovate and grow. I hope these conversations inspire you as much as they have inspired me. Whether I am preparing for a keynote speech or writing for publications such as Harvard Business Review and Huffington Post, these are my go-to people. My goal with the What's Next! podcast is to keep you thinking and to challenge you to think about What's Next!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-19T02:18:53.537358+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-next-with-tiffani-bova-204054"},"episode":{"title":"Doing What You Do Best with Tom Rath","slug":"doing-what-you-do-best-with-tom-rath","published_at":"2026-04-03T16:33:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-next-with-tiffani-bova-204054/doing-what-you-do-best-with-tom-rath","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-next-with-tiffani-bova-204054","url":"https://whatsnextpodcast.libsyn.com/doing-what-you-do-best-with-tom-rath-0","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/whatsnextpodcast/Ep_340_Tom_Rath.mp3?dest-id=545912","summary":"Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week's guest is someone whose work has shaped how millions of people think about their work, their strengths, and their lives. Tom Rath is a #1 New York Times bestselling author whose books, including Strengths Finder 2.0, have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and transformed how organizations develop talent. For more than two decades, Tom has studied what helps people thrive at work and in life from strengths and wellbeing to leadership and meaning. His latest book, What's the Point? explores one of the most important questions we can ask: how do we turn purpose into something we actually live every day? THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone who wants to do more meaningful work, lead with intention, and better align their strengths with how they show up every day. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…80% of us go through our lives not doing what we're best at and that disconnect has a massive impact on our energy, engagement, and overall well-being. In this conversation, Tom challenges the idea that success comes from fixing weaknesses and instead makes the case for investing in what you naturally do best. He breaks down how leaders can create environments where people thrive, why well-being and performance are more connected than most organizations realize, and how small, intentional shifts can help you get more out of your work and your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Your greatest opportunity for growth comes from investing in your natural strengths, not fixing every weakness. Well-being is directly tied to performance, decision-making, and long-term success. People do their best work when they feel energized, not just productive. Leaders play a critical role in helping others discover and use what they do best. WHAT I LOVE M…","meta_description":"Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.
