I recently had the pleasure of witnessing the essence of team work. We often hear the phrase with reference to the workplace and sports. However, team work is a vital part of any relationship, especially initmate relationships. Sometimes we get so caught up in our own agendas that we forget to take a close look at our partners. This again holds true in our workplace and in our homes.
One of my clients asked if I would pay his friend/colleague a visit. He felt that I could put them ‘on the right path’. I’m always delighted to visit with clients. First it gives me the opportunity to connect, second an opportunity to learn and third and opportunity to help. When I scheduled the appointment, I had no idea just how enlightening this visit would be. Not on their part, but on mine.
The first thing that was different was that my client asked me to stay in their home. Normally I stay in a hotel, but thought ‘what the heck’. I could tell that this ‘doctor team’ was very different than most I visited. Everything seem to start at home. They woke together, ate meals together, planned their day together, and eventually headed off to work….together. You would think that after a while one might get bored, but it didn’t seem that way for them.
In their office it was no different. Each one had their specific duties yet you could see that it was team work personified. They knew their weaknesses and their strengths. They were more than just open to suggestions on how to improve their practice and themselves, they welcomed it. They didn’t attack each other. I know this may not seem like much to others, but to me, this was a ‘WOW’ moment. I don’t often see a husband/wife team as open and loving to each other as this team.
It didn’t surprise me at all how fast their practice was growing. It was inevitable. There is no way energy like this could create anything less than abundance. Yes, there were a few things that needed improving. However, the foundation had been laid. So to build from where they were standing was like eating a slice of warm buttered bread. Nothing less than yummy.
Here’s one for the team.
