“Let your performance do the thinking.” Jackson Brown Jr.

It cannot be more appropriate for us at this time when we are almost at the end of our LiFT programme. Now that we are done, what did we accomplish? Were we successful? How can we let others learn from our mistakes? Should we?

We met as a team for the last time. We talked about what we want to do post LiFT duties. Somehow, with this group, I feel completely at ease talking about my aspirations. I do not feel judged and do not feel intimidated. It is a supportive environment where I feel my voice has a value. It is a great group accomplishment especially in a competitive world!

There has been so much learning for all of us. What we do with this learning is our legacy to this world.

Completion of Teamworks and thoughts

We are done with our Teamworks series. This was my first experience as a coach and I promptly forgot to take the questions I wanted to ask the team! But what can I say about our group? Committed and compassionate individuals who were eager to be part of the learning and volunteering. They willingly took hours off from their schedules to come and share their time and thoughts. Here is a picture when we met for dinner after the Share Your Mind project in Santa Clara:

I asked Holly what she thought about her experience. I could'nt have said it as well as she has:

"The team we had was full of energy and quite enthusiastic about working together and sampling the HOBA projects that the SV LIFT crew had put together.

It was refreshing to volunteer with the TeamWorks group, and listen to their perspectives about how each project affected them, and how they hope to get further involved with HOBA. I had never participated in a TeamWorks before, but now I see why it's such a great experience. The bond and friendships you can form from volunteering with a consistent and familiar group is really remarkable."

In essence, Teamworks is all about team-building and connecting with like-minded individuals. If you haven't been part of one, I urge you to consider it. Its an experience that you will most likely remember for a long time to come.
