THE HEART OF PLAYING TEAM (November 1, 2021)

In the past 20 years, our society has adapted to a whole new way of working that goes beyond 9-5. Our work and personal lives are further intertwined, and 2020 forcefully blurred the lines of work life-balance to the greatest heights.

Every successful business starts with relationships and real relationships remain as one aspect of human interaction and business development that is consistent. If we want to bring in partnerships - we need great relationships. If we want a top-notch team - relationships are the spark and these are built and maintained by communication.

In my daily life, I take on the role as a translator between teams and clients so that we can build and maintain great relationships and work to ensure that everyone understands each other and are working together to achieve collective goals. Yes, communication is the foundation of any successful team or relationship. However, you can communicate all you want, but without intentional relationships within the team, communication will fall to the ears of those who simply cannot hear you.

Simple, yet abstract. This is your daily reminder to take a moment and treat your colleagues with grounded intention and a hint of human to human connection. This will elevate your ways of working as you build strong relations and strive to achieve even bigger goals.
