It’s common to look outside yourself for meaning, purpose and impact. The reality is, everything starts within you, as an individual, first. With this conscious mindset: "everything starts within you," being present, responsible and flexible, taking action, understanding of yourself and being part of a collaborative solution - efficacy naturally flows. This is the way to magnify the potential of your team which will create sustainable success.

We work with teams globally and have found these 5 areas to be paramount in MAGNIFYING a Team's Potential:

1 - PRIORITIZING PRESENCE

Presence is a state of being. Presence is the ability for an individual and team to understand that thoughts and feelings are always present within a dialogue.

2 - RESPONSBILE AND FLEXIBLE

Our beliefs shape our reality more than our sensations, and they govern nearly every aspect of our lives. A belief is a thought process – an assessment of the world and the value we place on a behavior or ideal.

3 - CHOOSING POSITIVE OUTCOMES

Every action matters. There is not one action that does not matter in our lives and work. Actions have a lasting quality for experiencing positive outcomes.

4 - EMOTIONAL UNDERSTANDING AND REGULATION

Wondering, daydreaming and mind-wandering are essential for learning and maintaining a healthy brain. The ability to build emotional understanding and self-regulation comes from the ability to let go of our own control over people, situations or outcomes.

5 - PROBLEM SOLVING

Too much stress disrupts every neural activity in our brains. When solving problems, be a part of the solution. Being part of the solution will bring what is missing – a resolution.

As you reflect on these five key areas, we encourage you to think about what stands out to you. Next week we will be creating a mindset and behaviors to support you as you magnify the potential of your team. Stay tuned!
