Exploring the importance of creating a culture that includes freedom to fail, and how this model benefits the team that is working better together.

Pastor Ian and Pastor Daniel encourage us to be intentional about working better together with young people, building legacies through kids, and the strength of working with kids.

We are especially inspired by young people who lead others in working better together.  16-year-old Rebekah has lived in another country and now attends Costa Mesa Highschool, where she runs letsbekind.org .  You can also find the organization on Instagram:letsbekindday .  She has already learned how to work better together and wants to share this with you.  Enjoy this interview!

There will usually be someone on your team who is capable of driving you nuts... it might even be you.  Here's a ten-minute tune up on working better together when someone drives you nuts.

In today's culture, how does being humble help us work together?  Humility hasn't been as popular as bravado and trash talking.  Ian and Daniel bring you their insights for working better together with humility.

What are we missing out on by putting people on our team in a pre-defined box?

Ian and Daniel interview Jeff Pishney, Executive Director of Love Our Cities an organization helping to stimulate more than 70 cities to work together and execute city wide days of service.  Jeff is energetic, and has 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.  Rather than listening to someone and jumping directly into fix-it mode, listen well and when they are through that struggle, Celebrate what they did!

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?  Daniel and Ian talk us though these things and provide encouragement to hang in there.

Do you have the Vision for what you’re trying to do, or are you just Working at it?  Ian and Daniel break down how to work better together by having a clear vision, mission, strategy, and a measurement for your success using some of Will Mancini’s "Vision Frame" book.  Being clear about what is important to you is the key to keep us moving directly forward in working together.
