In doing so, here are some of the things I have learned:

1. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

2. Though you have transformed, never be ashamed of your story or who you used to be.

3. Your core values are who you already are. Own it.

4. Listening “for” is more than being open. It’s putting aside the need to “do” anything.

To address your overwhelm, ask yourself these questions:

1. How many things am I trying to handle at once?

2. What one thing is actually pushing that “overwhelm” button?

3. How can I relieve that pressure?

4. Who can I ask for help with that?

We have come to the conclusion that Purpose isn't a sweet little "nice to have." It's a necessity. In life and in business. Where there is purpose, there is drive. Where there is drive, there is the everlasting climb to better business, better lives, and a better world.

In 2021, we may start thinking deeper thoughts about what exactly we want to promise... because we want to live up to what we are promising, never disappoint the customer, and be realistic with what kind of service we can provide.

As we go into 2021, if we have already figured this out, it won't be such a 'PIVOT' moving forward. If we remember that our customer holds a special relationship to us, and believes in something we show up for, we will be the ones winning in business.

With the socially conscious movements of today, and elevated by today's global marketplace and connectivity, consumers are taking a closer and closer look at business ethics.

Our consultants at Momentum have tools to uncover problems and reveal blind spots. It's the transformational discovery that can change the efficiency and the productivity of your business.

when you assigned the project, were you clear enough to the team involved?

• Who is this for?

• What is the purpose?

• What outcome do we want to achieve?

• Why I am trusting YOU to this assignment

But, there is a lot more to this than obvious first impressions. First of all, your best right now is simply your best in this moment in time. This "best" of you now is different from your "best" of years past. Your childhood best is not your adult best, and it wouldn't even be fair to compare. Nor should we expect to compare a current "best" from person to person.

There are seven basic learning styles, as shown here in this briefing by Mindvalley.

• Visual / Spacial: can see detail in design, shapes, and space

• Aural: can hear detail in music and are very affected by sound

• Verbal: have detailed vocabulary and thrive in written and spoken word

• Physical / Kinesthetic: feel detail in how the body moves and learn through doing

• Logical / Mathematic: see detail in numbers and calculations

• Social / Interpersonal: need to be around others in order to learn

• Solitary / Intrapersonal: learn better alone

By appreciating our teammates or work mates, we are helping with their brain function and their health!

Work can be fun when:

• People feel included

• People are allowed to use their gifts for the good of the team

• People are allowed to express their thoughts and opinions

• It's ok to laugh, especially at yourself

• You take off the pressure of being incredibly academic and focus on the product being really great

Doing our best doesn’t mean being perfect. It means doing our best in the current situation at the current time in the current mind-frame with our current knowledge. By believing that everyone is doing their best, I can release myself from the situation and give every person the benefit of the doubt.

One of our first exercises was to uncover my “core values,” which at first I thought would be more like “priorities” or “life roles.” No, I found out, everyone has values set so deep in them that it drives their lives. It’s not what we consider to be important; it’s what we know so deeply in our psyche that we expect everyone and everything to adhere.
