5 THINGS TO BRING TO A NEW JOB OR PROJECT (AND JOB HUNT GROUP)

5 THINGS TO BRING TO A NEW COLLABORATION, JOB OR PARTNERSHIP
Whether you’re starting something and feeling “in control” or joining something and “waiting for permission” here are some qualities to bring to the table that will help everyone be a better collaborator: regardless of their position in the food chain.

1) VULNERABILITY

Take some risks, early. Reveal something unexpected. Confess to something you don’t know. Be willing to ask the “stupid question.” Be a profound fool.

2) YOUR GIFTS

What skills, awareness’ or certified strengths so you bring with you whereever you go? What are the things you do effortlessly and always that you love to give and people love to receive?

You don’t have to do them all at once or right away. Just know what they are and be generous with them.

3) INTUITION

What are you noticing, sensing or wondering about that’s bubbling lightly under the surface?

Yes, you can continue looking for more data and wait till you’re “certain” but intuition, when applied professionally, is the art of making a decision based on insufficient information. (ie. what we must do multiples times every day.)

Have read “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell? A great book about intuiton.)

4) QUESTIONS

What do you want to know from the members of your team? What do you want to know about your project? Your self? Your community?

Bring some burning questions into your work. It helps build passion and synergy.

5) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT/APPRECIATION/BLESSING

What do you appreciate about the people you’re working with? What makes your excited to be working with them? What skills and experiences do they have that you’d like to hear about or learn from?

Tell people what you appreciate about them.

Symbolically and literally, we all thrive and prosper with a touch of appreciation or mentoring. Try it out and see how people respond. See how you respond when someone appreciates you.
