Key issues focus on follow-up after a TeamBuild, keeping the conversation alive. Reflective questions to ask in follow-up emails:
-  How have you reflected on your GB reports?
- What have you seen or experienced that aligns with your GB reports?
- How has your view of other team members and your interaction with them been impacted  by what you learned from your GB reports?
- How have your seen God working in others and how have you affirmed them in their gifts, strengths, and relationships?

Also we need a follow-up Action Plan worksheet for GRIP, similar to the one in your Birkman reports.

The body-life principles from GRIP-Birkman provide an effective tool for leading change. Resistance to change relates to stress behaviors that are rooted in unmet Needs or expectations. Learning to understand these Needs of individuals can be a significant step in the movement from I to We and building unity in the body.

Getting to know one another in community helps us develop deep connections with one another that provide an ideal environment for personal and team transformation. The group attending today's cafe took time to practice the posture of CONNECTING before starting the recording. Here we share some of our insights from that experience.  You will see how interdependence increases as we learn to know and submit to one another.

Go to https://www.itowe.org/connecting/ for more on the importance CONNECTING plays in building more effective teams.

We live in a very “I” centered world. 

How can we make the transformation from I to We a reality? 

How do we get people out of the pews to fully embrace, engage, and understand God’s unique design on their life and their contribution to the body of Christ?

“This is about empowering people to understand their unique fit within the body of Christ so that we can live in that perfect unity that Jesus talks about in John 17, and so that we can expand the body of Christ.” 

Veteran and new GB coaches share some of the lessons they have learned in the process of helping teams on their journey from I to We. 

By the way, did you know that we now have GRIP available in Spanish, Canadian French,  Russian, and Chinese (Simple and Traditional)? Check it out!
