Part two in a six-part series

If you want to dwell in the hardships of your past, Team Me is not for you. But if you want to leverage what those experiences taught you, keep reading.

In Session 2, we take a brief look back and share the stories of our lives. By doing this early in the program we accelerate our understanding of each other, and more importantly, sharpen our personal awareness about how our past influences our choices today. Members are also introduced to a new tool – The Energy Leadership Assessment – that examines personal attitudes and beliefs (our mindset). We bring together the lessons from the experiences that shaped us, with a deeper understanding of our personal mindset, so we can move forward operating from a position of complete awareness.

Awareness is the essential first step toward higher consciousness, high performance, and living a life of meaning and impact. As Carl Jung is often quoted to say, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Accepting this serves our development.

It is commonly held that our difficult life experiences create behavioral patterns – some positive, some negative. It is my personal belief that these patterns are intended to teach us something important, something that helps us identify our life purpose. Once in midlife, having spent some time in self-reflection, we see how our repeated behavioral patterns contributed to our challenges. As we work to overcome the negative patterns, and exercise the positive ones, becoming 100 percent accountable for the outcomes of our choices, we gain a unique perspective – an insight – that we could not have otherwise learned.

From this perspective, we begin to see all of our experiences as gifts, and by reframing them as such, they become assets to be paired with our natural strengths, talents, and interests. While we are still not likely clear about the “more” we are specifically meant for, we can lay claim to unique wisdom, and can begin to anticipate who, or what, our brand of wisdom is meant to serve.

In Part Three of this six-part series, we will explore how Team Me groups help us recognize our flow states, when we are our most joyful and authentic selves, as well as the people, and environments, that set us up for sustainable success.
