Teamwork

We've all heard or read a zillion quotes about teamwork.  There's the "There's no 'I' in TEAM" one.  There's the "Together Everyone Achieves More" acronym.  And then there's the "Teamwork makes the dream work" business.

And you know what?  They're all true!  Cliche, perhaps.  But true.  And it became all the more evident on Wednesday night as I participated on a Team call with several other Coaches.

Let me back up for just a second.  I've been a Beachbody Coach for about 7 months or so at this point. Becoming a Coach wasn't something that was even on my radar a year ago, and yet here I am.  Here we are.  A group of people dedicated to helping to end the trend of obesity, share amazing products and help people live their best lives. 

The call was lead by our Coach, Jackie, who did a fantastic job of greeting each of us as we hopped on the line and sharing her expectation for the call.  From the moment the operator's automated voice told us "This call is now being recorded" the energy was great...and I mean great.

By design, Jackie was the only one presenting on the call, but somehow I could still "hear" the others getting excited, getting inspired and getting busy taking notes and making lists.  The information presented on the call was a combination of things we already knew and things we hadn't thought about before.  Either way, the effect was the same; we were motivated, determined and totally fired up.

The beauty of the call was that everyone on the line was coming into the call from a different place; some have been Coaches for a while, others only signed within the last couple of weeks.   We all have stories to share, questions to ask and suggestions to offer.  While we weren't speaking on the call, our Facebook group exploded with comments, ideas and enthusiasm.  

Having a group that's so willing to share with one another is quite a phenomenal thing.  It'd be easy to be competitive and snarky; but in this circle, we're all helpful to one another and willing to share.  It's from those shared experiences that we all grow and learn and succeed.

I know I'm grateful to Jackie for leading such a powerful group.  I'm also proud to be part of it and happy to have a bunch of other like-minded people supporting one another.

Perhaps the best thing about this group is that it's still growing.  And you can be part of it, too.  If it sounds like something you'd be interested in, let's talk.  Conversations can't hurt, right!?
