I kicked off my week with a team session on Monday afternoon. It’s one of my favorite things that I get to do as a coach. Every time I prepare to go into a team session, I think about this team. This is THE TEAM of my 20+ year career. Here’s why…

It’s the team that that taught me that differences truly are advantages.
It’s the team that brought new meaning to the phrase better together.
It’s the team that always showed up authentically, even when it felt uncomfortable.
It’s the team that worked hard to build a foundation of trust and stability.
It’s the team that was all in for each other on the good days and the worst days.

This team operated as a strengths based team. This group is my inspiration when coaching teams. I’ve seen it. I understand the incredible impact a team like this makes on an organization, but more importantly an individual.

What could creating a team like this do for you? Your business? Your organization? Your leadership? Let’s find out!

It’s no accident that we were created and designed for connection. We are all better together. The people around you need what you have to offer. How can you share your gifts with others today?

Last year I had the opportunity to sit down with my friends and have an honest conversation about ministry, leadership, life and legacy. The entire experience reminded me how thankful I am for friends with different perspectives, experiences and strengths. I love that we don’t all have to agree on every on topic to have productive conversations.

One of Gallups guiding principles is that differences are advantages. They’re not problems that we need to solve, they’re resources that create an advantage when used wisely.

When you’re working with someone with a contrasting theme, this is an opportunity for you both to leverage and win together. Here’s an example…

Activator: Accelerator
Deliberative: Brake

An activator, needs someone to help them recognize when to pump the breaks. Deliberative needs someone to help them move from the careful thought they put into something to action.

Building trust and working together is beneficial for both. They will challenge each other’s thought process and pace. They have the ability to bring out the best in each other and achieve success.

Differences = Advantages

A reminder for the week ahead:

👉🏼You are a masterpiece.
👉🏼You are uniquely gifted.
👉🏼You were created with talents.
👉🏼You have value and add value.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬ ‭
