When The Universe Delivers

When The Universe Delivers

Sometimes the package the universe delivers you doesn’t look exactly like the package you planned.

But then you learn that the universe doesn’t deliver what you think you want, that vision you’ve created in your head. Instead, it delivers what your heart knows you want, that thing that’s aligned with your soul, your values and your purpose.

And it when it delivers this gift to you, the key to receiving this gift is to be courageous, open your heart, let go of the pre-designed construct of your life, trust the process and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime.

The Deal Breaker for Effective Teams

The Deal Breaker for Effective Teams

Going beyond what we commonly think of as trust, at the heart of cohesive and effective teams must be vulnerability based trust.

This means people are comfortable saying ‘I screwed up’, ‘I need help with that’, ‘what could I do more of to be a better manager for you’, ‘what could I do less of to be a better member of this team’.

Vulnerability based trust means that people are comfortable being vulnerable with each other.

And the result of this kind of team is cohesion, effectiveness, healthy debate, increased commitment, accountability and a focus and attention on results. And for leaders of an organization, this is what counts.
