Welcome back to the Grounding and Growing Leadership Podcast! We’re continuing our Strengths at Play Series with our very own Pamela Nelson! You know Pamela as the calm, thoughtful co-host of this podcast, but today, we’re turning the spotlight on her. In this fun and insightful episode, we explore how Pamela defines fun and how she weaves play into her everyday life.

Tara and Pamela dive into the Strengths Pamela leans on when she’s having fun, the broken Soundtracks she’s had to reframe around play, and what she’s most excited for this summer. You won’t want to miss this heartwarming and playful episode all about Pamela!

***And mark your calendars; SHIFT is coming back on May 14, 2026! We’re already dreaming big, and we’d love for you to be part of what’s next.***

At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach, Counselor, and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys.    

CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts. If you are interested in learning more and taking the CliftonStrengths assessment for you or your team, please reach out to tara@aligntransform.com.
