Team Me - Identify & Clarify
Part one in a six-part series
People in mid-life readily agree that they are meant for more. Across all areas of our lives, most of us believe that we can live more fully, more deeply, and more “on purpose.”
With decades of living behind us, children raised, homes and careers established, we mid-lifers begin to see opportunities to focus on ourselves by pursuing meaning and fulfillment.
But what will we pursue? How will we tap into our passions? Is passion something we still claim to have? Clarity eludes many of us, just as life gives us time to do something with true intention.
Why Team Me?
This quest for fulfillment – often triggered by major life transitions – is what motivates men and women to join a Team Me small group. In the early meetings, we lay a foundation for exploration. We zero in our core values – the foundational truths we either hold (or aspire to hold), that define us by directing our choices. We also focus on identifying the areas of our lives that hold us back, so we can clear them out of our way and start fresh.
What is draining our energy?
In Session One, we take an honest look at the different aspects of our life that are in our way. We will decide if they are worth resolving, or if are we better off just letting them go.
Oftentimes, the difficult things that are draining us can be traced back to some “rules” we have in place. They can be rules imposed by our caregivers in our formative years that stuck, or rules that emerged as we matured and entered relationships – work relationships, family relationships, friendships. We will explore which rules are serving us, and which are nothing more than self-imposed limitations we can release.
Safety in Numbers
Team Me meetings are psychology safe environments. Groups are carefully curated and intentionally small (no more than eight, and usually six). As teams engage in rich conversation, relating their experiences and personal stories, members reconnect to their authentic selves. This act of vulnerability creates a different level of connection that we don’t experience in many places. As an observer and facilitator of these sessions, I am often struck by how much unmet need there is for meaningful interactions in our world. Team Me groups solve this problem.
In Part two of this six-part blog series, we will explore how Team Me groups evaluate recurring life patterns, what they teach us, and how they uniquely equip us to do something important. Learn more and subscribe at https://www.lisa-bosse.com/teammehome
