The Positive Energy Workplace

Qualities you'll find in a healthy team/organization*:

• The organization's vision is shared, communicated and alive. People have bought into it and know how their role directly supports it.
• People are self aware AND self possessed (in other words, they're self-aware AND able to shift behavior/do something about their impact)
• Systems are in place so people know what to do, how to do it, and who does it (and can cross function in roles)
• People are literally healthy and energized
• People have fun (even during tough times)
• Profits are healthy
• Employees are engaged

What if the most simple and key principles of effective leadership and engagement were already in your bones and just needed a playful reminder?

At the beginning of the school year, my son's 2^nd grade class established class "ground rules" aka "Rules of Engagement." These rules were set as guidelines by which they agreed to be treated and treat each other. When I went in for our student led Parent Teacher Conference last month, I was kind of taken aback by the wisdom and emotional intelligence that a savvy group of 2nd graders exhibited in their agreements.

It's not necessarily the words you say, but rather the tone, the intent and the physiology you say them with.

Last week I was in Tucson, AZ working with my business coach and a couple of my master mind colleagues. We get together a couple of times a year, in person, and regularly (on the phone) to discuss our businesses, plan, work through challenges and stay focused in creating results and outcomes in our companies.

I've been involved in Master Minds in one way or another for about 6 years now and I find them an essential part of my success as a leader in my business. I've also found them to be an essential part of my client's successes in the group programs and master minds I've hosted in my programs. It's the power of people and the power of 5 brains (or 3 or 8 or 10) that is even better than just one. The support, ideas and solutions that come out of these groups is nothing short of fascinating. The Master Mind (MM) Experience isn't for everyone, some prefer the private and individual attention of private coaching or even a combination of the two, but when the MM resonates, it resonates!

How bad do you want it?

What are you willing to do to make it happen?

What will keep you in action?

I heard a statistic last week stating that less than 3% of adults actually know what they wantAND have clear set goals to get there.

Is this you?

At first this number shocked me, but then I recognized my own version of this that I very often see in clients (and of course for myself as well), which is HOW bad DO you TRULY want it? And what are you DOING (not just thinking, planning, dreaming or intending) to make it happen? Hmmmmm.
