Have you ever worked with a bunch of people drawn from a diverse range of experiences but who came together with a common focus? I had the priviledge of partnering with a group of individuals drawn from all walks of life, the building game, a chef and a beauty queen for example.
I held a position for 6 years as a founding manager of a non government, not for profit, Christian based ministry delivering supports to the community within the disability sector. Sounds like a mouthful doesn’t it? What a blast!
We had a clear Vision and Mission to make a difference. We lived and breathed our core values based on the Christian faith. Not as a ‘religious unction’ but as a living breathing vibrant example of faith in action on the planet. We had a blast and the ministry continues growing today.
Over 6 years we had an average of 90% staff retention. Morale was high, conflict wasn’t feared. We dealt with issues and behaviours not character assassinations. We were up front, laughed a lot, reviewing our progress regularly. Our client base grew and satisfaction was high. Our team were people moving forward, not on. They were an example of Trafficking Leaders - People on the Move!
It’s worth asking ourselves if we’re embracing our ability and that of others?
When’s the last time you and I took a look in the revision mirror, checked where we’ve been in life and determined to be a person on the move, stepping forward confidently for the benefit of all, and bringing other people on the journey with us? Maybe we should do it now? Let’s look ahead, focus on the future.
Make a decision to STOP getting in our own road!
Be a member of the Trafficking Leaders© team. It’s up to us and we’re going to have a blast!
