Better Together Podcast

By putting people on our team in a pre-defined box, we lose sight of the benefits of acknowledging and celebrating our differences and hidden strengths. Celebrating differences in our work teams, rather than coming against them, can increase productivity, intentionality, and positivity to work better together.

We explore Love Our Cities, an organization helping to stimulate more than 70 cities to work together and execute city wide days of service with Executive Director, Jeff Pishney. Jeff’s energy and enthusiasm fuels some great insights on what it takes to work better together.

Celebrating both the little and big things is equally important in your relationships. In your relationships and your project teams, recognizing the positives creates inertia to carry the team through. Let’s practice listening well and then celebrating getting through the struggles together!

How do you work better with the optimists & pessimists in your concentric circles of relationships with coworkers, family, and community? When you are uncomfortable with a person do you immediately start your exit strategy? We talk through these things and provide encouragement to hang in there in the times when we question if we truly are better together.

Do you have the vision for what you’re trying to do, or are you just working at it? We discuss parts of Will Mancini’s book, "Vision Frame," to dive into the importance of maintaining a clear vision, mission, strategy and measurement for your success to work better together.

What Legacy is your family working together on leaving? Listen to this great interview with the Glassmans who are helping families define and pursue their legacy to work better together.

Everyone needs a place where they feel safe and can be intimate, whether it is in volunteer groups, small groups, friend groups, work teams, or families in order to feel unity. We learn how to practically apply working together through understanding our Concentric Circle.

With all that is going on in our world today, a good principle to remember this by is to, “Seek first to understand, then be understood,”. In real-life relationships, on social media, or in our spiritual relationships, we can apply humility through first listening well to work better together!

We discover how our practical focus brings us together in unity, how our relationships can grow more when we adjust and find common ground, and how nurturing the spirit of the group makes a difference in how we work together.
