Building Community Legacies With Meaningful Conversation

Connection Collaboration Community

Have you heard “this is business, there is no room for feelings in business“, or some other derivative of it? Well, there is room; people remember how you made them feel over all else. Yes, they remember how they feel over you making them millions, cured their cancer,  or helped them solve a large issue.

All relationships in life, “people remember how you made them feel.” As I traverse from coaching executives to corporate teams the common denominators are “feelings” and “communication”.

Join me and others to build your legacy model with the 5 L’s. Legacy is building your sustainable growth model of how you show up in community, connections, and collaboration.

Legacy: Love, Listen, Lift, Link, Lead

Few Things To Consider:

  • Can you listen without bias or judgment?
  • When did you lift some one else to promotion?
  • Can you identify the last time you invited someone to an event; introduced them to people they need to know to grow?
  • Are you leading from behind the curtain or in front of the curtain?

What people are saying:

  • Thank you for the reminder of showing up with intent. It changed my conference and connections. JB Entrepreneur, Helena
  • I want to let you know your break-out this morning was excellent and on point to connecting and influencing my end in mind. IP Entrepreneur, Great Falls
  • I’m super excited to know that you are available as a resource just downstream from us! JW, Butte

Be a HERO, Connect Over Coffee

TT TAlk Tuesday's

Tis the season to be crazy.

Be a hero and invite someone for a cup of coffee, hot chocolate, or perhaps a hot toddy. Everyone needs a few minutes of respite…be the hero!

Are You Creating Success With Courage?

Courage is Earned and Learned

Yes, I am asking you! Are you creating success with courage? Courage is learned, earned, and an added value to your success.

Definition of courage is the ability to do something that is uncomfortable. Strength in the face of pain, risk, or grief.

Recently  I have traveled over 600 miles driving across Montana, USA. In this travel I met entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and government officials. There was a consistent theme with their successes and it comes down to three simple things: faith, passion, and failure.

All three of these simple things take courage to stand up to your success, passion, and ability to create something no one else can. Think about the following as all of them were an idea which took courage and has changed lives across the world and generations: tires, light bulb, flight, internet, space travel, and so many more. . .

Faith: Continue to believe in what you are building.

Passion: Create an inner circle of advisers to keep you on the rails of faith and your why.

Failure: Risk is part of success, it will happen. Take note of what you learned and keep moving.

Courage encompasses all three simple things to create the success you desire and deserve. A few questions to ask yourself:

Blessed,met and learned from so many great leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators today! Lt. Governor and Governor took time for Red Shoe Courage!

Blessed,met and learned from so many great leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators today! Lt. Governor and Governor took time for Red Shoe Courage!

  • Do I believe in myself and the project more than anything else?
  • Am I willing to let other activities pass while I create?
  • Do I have faith in myself to take risk and willing to keep moving forward when there is a fail?

Challenge: like, share, and comment one thing you learned from taking a risk! You have something to teach the world.

Look UP & OUT!

Tracy is highly intuitive, perceptive, and a world thinker in connecting what you cannot see. These gifts give her the ability to strategize with clarity where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there. Tracy’s expertise: training highly successful people to lead with authenticity to the desired success her client’s desire and deserve.

Monday’s are important to connect with your team to set the tone, action, and belief this week is just as important as Admin Stafflast.

Connection does not take a lot of your time out of the scheme of disengaged employees as Gallup states is 70%. Below are a few ways to break the ice, connect, and let all your employees know you appreciate the value they bring to the organization.

Trust Me It Works!

  • Drop by each cubicle and just say hello (too many employees, then take bite sizes through the week)
    • Connection, they know they are important enough for your time
  • Create a Round-table(s) to connect weekly
    • Each week is a different topic, and everyone has 2 minutes to share their feelings, opinions, and experience
    • More about Round-Tables
  • Monthly excursions
    • This maybe a lunch outside of the office
    • Bowling
    • Hiking
    • A stroll around your office grounds or a local park
    • Go to the zoo
    • Bring in a speaker to motivate, inspire, and empower
      • You can find someone in your community or if budget allows bring someone in that resonates with any pain points you are experiencing
    • Laughter
      • Laugher is the healing compound and the B12 shot for any organization and team
        • Is there levity allowed in the office
        • Is there a place where your team members can go to blow off steam through laughing, crying, and supporting each other

These are just a few ideas of connecting and creating a culture of sustained employee engagement and loyalty. Ninety percent of people leave an organization because of people. I challenge you to be the 10% where people do not leave because of other people but because you engaged, mentored, and gave them value to find bigger and better opportunities.

Begin creating a culture of; mentoring, engaging, and adding value to groom them to leave hits most of us in the big old’ PRIDE button. Some of you are asking or stopped reading; why would I want to groom them to leave? My question is why wouldn’t you? Engaged employees who have been valued, mentored, and engaged are your biggest advocates outside of your organization.

Challenge Question: How many cubicles will you visit today?

[Success Secret Sauce] Series 3/8: Celebrate Your Greatest Asset

These gifts give her the ability to strategize with clarity where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there. Tracy’s expertise: training highly successful people to lead with authenticity to the desired success her client’s desire and deserve.

Your greatest asset is your attitude and it is the base Asset Tracy Worleyingredient to your Secret Success Sauce.

Attitude is not a set strength or gift; it is a choice. Attitude is the only thing you have complete control over on a second by second basis. When I was downsized in 2011, my first reaction was not anger. It was, “What do I have in place to keep moving forward?”

The first step to creating success through your attitude is to take responsibility for it. Attitude does not come from our circumstances, history, or others. Attitude comes from within; you are made of the sum from the inside out. Reflecting within is key to identifying and relating to any of your relationships. Where are they blaming others for circumstances; where in reality the outcome came from choice.

The second area to evaluate is where you are now in your relationships and perhaps barriers to your goals. Personal evaluation is not to condemn where you are today, but to become aware and make different choices. How we feel and view ourselves often relates to how we relate and think of others. Attitude truly is the solid foundation to your Secret Success Sauce.

When evaluation occurs in an honest and nurturing way, your growth to change becomes easy. Perseverance does not seem as hard, and the tenacious nature it takes to stand your ground will give confident freedom in becoming who you were meant to be and who you are meant to serve.

The biggest question is: Are you going to keep working and trying to get better, or is this as good as it gets?

You are not what you think you are, but what you think…you are.

The last step toward an AWESOME attitude is discipline in your agenda. Yes, the things that make up your daily calendar are the choices you are willing to make. Again, reflection is part of gaining back your day and doing what you need to do in planned action vs. others unplanned reaction.

Attitude is the difference maker to opening doors you did not see before, and it helps overcome obstacles and reality shifts you did not ask for. In 2011 I had a choice to be angry, bitter, frozen, and paralyzed from losing my job, but my choice was to thrive despite someone else’s decision for my reality and future.

Choose to thrive!

Are you a difference maker or a mood breaker? We all know someone who walks into the room and the mood changes from “life” to “silent LiftingUp Tracy Worleyhiding”. Why? No one wants to talk to this person because they are the life sucker who not only takes, but also puts you down and keeps you there.

What is your secret sauce to being a difference maker in your life?

In 2006 I had an incredible opportunity to not only chair our Employee Ownership Stock Program, but also to create the leadership training content for all employee owners to experience and learn. One of the resources I brought in was written by John C. Maxwell, The Difference Maker. What makes you a Difference Maker? It is simply your attitude.

I write, speak, and teach attitude often, as this is the one thing you have control over. Only you can make the decision about how you are going to enter and leave the room. How you are entering and leaving conversations? But most importantly, how do you make people feel? Everyone remembers how you made them feel over and above all other things you give them.

“Your attitude colors very aspect of your life. It is like the mind’s paintbrush; you see the world as you are!”

Here are some areas to consider for reflection and change toward making the difference you desire from The Difference Maker:

  • Personality – Who You Are
    • Everyone is uniquely made. When you live in the comparison gap of others this is a mood breaker.
  • Environment – Who and What is Around You
    • We are made up of the five people we spend the most time with.
    • Is it time to have courageous conversation and create a necessary ending?
  • Others – What You Feel
    • Hurt people hurt people.
    • Positive words have an extraordinary impact.
  • Self-Image – How You See Yourself
    • This is how you see others.
    • Labels apply to boundaries and actions.
  • Beliefs – Judgement
    • What you think.
  • Choices – Action
    • What you do.

“Every thought you have shapes your life. What you think about your neighbor is your attitude toward him. The way you think about your job is your attitude toward work. Your thoughts concerning your spouse, the people on the highway during rush hour, and the government create your attitude toward everything you think and apply is your attitude.” John C Maxwell

I am no longer with the organization where I transformed The Difference Maker into their curriculum, but I do have the pleasure of seeing many of those employees continue to grow and make a difference not only at work but in the community in which they live.
