The Wake Up Eager Workforce Podcast · 2026-06-15 · 35 min
Jim Collins calls them "encodings" - the deeply wired patterns that shape how we contribute - and in this episode, Suzie Price explores how understanding your natural strengths, motivations, and energy can help you build a life you can't wait to wake up to. What if the key to a more energized, meaningful life isn't working harder - but understanding what you're truly wired to do? Inspired by Jim Collins' book What to Make of a Life and his conversation with Tim Ferriss, Suzie explores the concept of "encodings" and connects it to the TriMetrix assessment and the Wake Up Eager philosophy. She shares personal stories, research from Gallup and Jim Collins, and practical examples from hiring and leadership to show how alignment impacts performance, fulfillment, and energy. Whether you're leading a team, making career decisions, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this episode will help you recognize the clues your strengths and energy have been giving you all along. Discover how to stop fighting your wiring and start living more intentionally. TOP 3 TAKEAWAYS 1.
