What legacy will you leave?

I spent the perfect day off the coast of Auckland yesterday with the people closest to me (even though one was in ash form and thrown off the boat). A time to step out of daily routine and take stock. A chance to reflect on life, how we choose to live it, and who we chose to be.

What legacy do you want to leave? Who do you want to be? What is your purpose? Question’s coaches often ask individual client’s and teams. But you don’t need a coach to instigate powerful reflection – take time out every now and then and ask these questions of yourself(s).

Small things – big impact!

Can your team articulate areas of strength, challenge, opportunity and quick wins? Quick wins are gold – small things, easy to change, with big impact. For an executive team of extraverts I am working with, one of their quick wins is keeping records of actions and decisions made. Because they love to contribute so many great ideas when they are together it can be unclear what they have actually agreed on. Taking notes sounds simple and it was!

If you would like support articulating areas of strength, challenge, opportunity and quick wins in your team dynamic, please get in touch.

What would your team t-shirt say?

I asked a team to design a t-shirt representing their team purpose - examples of their work below. The exercise must have resonated as they took an action to combine their designs and actually get t-shirts made up to wear (not my original intension – but hey, even better!).

Why is team purpose so important? Well, without shared and clearly articulated vision, goals, priorities and narrative of the future, how can you be sure you really are all aligned, or wearing the same t-shirt?
