This is a call to teams, made up of human beings who see the potential for more, who want to know their peers have their back in these exhausting times, who want to trust there’s a bigger vision even though few see it now. You notice the twigs and bits of mud clogging up the wheels, and know that if you could just wash it away, you could cruise. You have incredible talent. You see the potential for this group to create something bigger than itself, and yet you’re stuck – wheels digging deeper into a well-worn rut.
Trust has broken down, exhaustion has set in. Everyone is speaking, but no one is listening and nothing changes. People have stopped or at least slowed their investment in this work, this team. It feels like everyone’s pushing that wheel in the mud from different directions, canceling out each others’ efforts.
You know there is a better way to work together, more you can achieve, more to embrace around meaningful diversity and inclusion. Yet it’s bigger than one leader. You need help. You see the potential to name the barriers, to rebuild relationships, to align around a direction and a plan, and to absolutely fly as a team. You want support to kickstart this process. You need someone who cares about your team, who can facilitate so adeptly that you barely notice the energy shifting until the sparks fly. You need someone to bring in fresh air and creativity to shake loose the monotony, and start to unleash your team’s potential.
It will take time to build trust and form new habits, to wheel your way towards that clearer vision. All the more reason to get started now. It’s possible. I believe in your team, and all you can achieve when pulling together. Let’s get you moving, so you can thrive and not just survive.
