Life Impact

You know that saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again? While I admire the spirit of persistence, sometimes I feel like we're just banging our heads against a wall. And honestly, the redundancy of "try and try" has always bugged me! Isn't there a smarter way to connect, especially at work?

Think about it. We spend so much time navigating different personalities.

I remember Peyton, a bright team member I managed who, despite their talent, seemed resistant to coaching. Every session felt like an uphill battle, draining my energy and hindering their growth. I knew there had to be a better way to connect and unlock their full potential. I was constantly searching for a better approach, analyzing what clicked and what crashed (a little peek into the "E" of the Personality E.D.G.E.!).

Then, a lightbulb moment. During one session, I decided to really focus on what drove Peyton. I started with genuine praise: "Peyton, that call was PERFECT!" and listed specific reasons why. Their face lit up. "Thanks!" That's my goal, I just need to get better."

Seizing the opportunity, I asked, "You know what could make it more perfect?" (Even though "more perfect felt a bit made up!). Peyton was completely engaged, a side I rarely saw. I offered a suggestion, emphasizing its potential, and promised my support.

Boom. Peyton tried it immediately and saw instant success. Our future interactions were transformed. What I didn't realize then was that I had stumbled upon speaking Peyton's personality language - addressing their core needs and motivations. And the key to unlocking this? The very principles behind The Personality E.D.G.E.

So, what does this have to do with those clichés? While resilience is vital, what if you could achieve success with a few attempts? What if understanding whether your colleague is an "early bird" or a "night owl" (and tailoring your communication accordingly) was more impactful than debating who gets the worm? There is enough pie for everyone to win.

We're excited to introduce (or re-introduce) you to the power of personality types in the workplace and equip you with The Personality E.D.G.E. - a practical tool to create a culture of hospitality where you and your team can reach new heights with less friction and more understanding.

Question to think about: How would you rate your emotions?

A story about emotions...

I was a brand-new Director within an organization, and I was leading and working my job well. In my role…I was getting the results we needed and caring for my 7 team members as we built together.

Until one day…one of my employees approached me. Note: this employee had been with the organization for 5 years and had applied for the same director’s job and did not get it. This employee was actively working to taint my name to the other employees behind my back.

One day, she walked up to me in the parking lot, before I even got to the door, and said “You’re not going to last here. You don’t know this job and you won’t be here long and I have some issues with you.”

Pause/TIME OUT…

I could feel the blood rising in my body (almost to a boiling point). At that moment not quite at work, I COULD let her know about herself and put her in place and allow my emotions to lead me….

OR I can take a pause, put my professional hat on, and speak to her in a professional manner.

I am grateful for the Emotional Intelligence tools I have learned, which one is on how to allow myself to feel my emotions, but not let them RULE me. I was very aware of how I wanted to react, and…OOH BOY I had a good comeback for her.

But my role as her director was to lead from my position, not from my emotions and that is what I did. Because of that, we eventually gained a great working relationship.

Have you had one or several moments like this? Where your emotions RULED you, or you almost let them? …maybe with your family, at work, in ministry, etc.

Where sometimes it went well and sometimes it did not?

Ask yourself the following questions:

- How am I doing, really?
- How am I doing as a spouse, parent, friend, coworker, ministry leader?
- What about with a stranger?
- In the grocery store?
- Driving my car?
- How am I doing with myself? (this is a good one!)

Over the years I have won many encounters like the story I shared with you, and I still lose a few, but what I have learned is how to win way more…and that is the goal.

That is why I am so excited to share these tools with you during the You’re the S.T.A.R.R. of Your Emotions live (free) online workshop. This workshop will be just that - tools on how to be aware of our emotions and win way more!

Here is when the webinar will take place:

You Are the S.T.A.R.R. of Your Emotions

We all carry many roles in our lives, and this journey will give the space to reflect on “How am I showing up emotionally” in not just one but all areas of my life.

We hope you attend and gain tools and understanding on how we can become or continue to be our best selves for us as well as those we interact with!

Excited to see you on the workshop! Let’s grow emotionally and learn together!

All the best!
