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":"The Power of Love at Work with Marcus Buckingham","slug":"the-power-of-love-at-work-with-marcus-buckingham","published_at":"2026-04-09T14:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-next-with-tiffani-bova-204054/the-power-of-love-at-work-with-marcus-buckingham","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-next-with-tiffani-bova-204054","url":"https://whatsnextpodcast.libsyn.com/the-power-of-love-at-work-with-marcus-buckingham","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/whatsnextpodcast/Ep_341_-_Marcus_Buckingham.mp3?dest-id=545912","summary":"Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. I'm thrilled for this show for so many reasons. Today's guest has spent his career challenging how we think about people at work, what drives performance, what builds great teams and what actually helps people thrive. Marcus Buckingham is a New York Times bestselling author and a friend and one of the original pioneers of the strength movement. And now in his new book, Design Love In, he takes that thinking even further, arguing that love, when designed intentionally into how we lead and operate, is one of the most powerful forces in business.

TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…We've been taught to focus on improving our weaknesses but that approach is fundamentally flawed. In this conversation, Marcus explains why excellence comes from doubling down on strengths, not fixing what's broken. He shares how organizations can unlock performance by designing roles around what people love to do, why engagement surveys often miss the mark, and how leaders can create environments where individuals thrive by doing more of what energizes them.

It's a simple shift, but it completely changes how we thi…","meta_description":"Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. I'm thrilled for this show for so many reasons.
