WE SPEAK EACH OTHER’S LANGUAGE
We really have to speak each other’s language
and not just love language.
We’ve learned to put our communication into a
way each other understands.
Betsy is very literal and detail oriented. I’ve
learned to communicate to her in as much detail
as possible.
I am very quick, short attention span etc. and
Betsy has learned to communicate to me as
quickly as possible and to make it as fun and
fast as possible.
WHAT MAKE US WORK AT WORK IS WHAT
MAKES ANY RELATIONSHIP WORK
We have a no sarcasm rule. Oxford languages
defines sarcasm as: The use of irony to mock or
convey contempt. We have no desire to mock or
convey contempt to each other, so we leave out
sarcasm.
We only speak building words to each other. Even when we’re dealing with hard subjects, we are
only allowed to speak words to each other that build. We strive to never condemn or belittle.
Betsy is better than me at this and we have the difficult conversations. Frankly we have more
hard conversations at home than we do at work.
WE HAVE COACHES
We have coaches in our leadership course, energy coaches, business advisors and relationship
coaches.
We have a lot of people looking after us and pouring into us.
WE SEEK TO BUILD EACH OTHER UP
Just as our business is a place where our clients, and our team members grow, it’s also a space
where we get to grow.
We truly want each other to have the best life possible and we look for and call for the best in
each other. We want each other to grow into the best versions of ourselves, and even when
we’re mad, we hold that space.
When we hold that space for each other to thrive life is a lot easier, and together we’re fulfilling
our God-given mission in our personal lives and in our professional lives.
That’s why, as angry as I may get, I am still pulling for her, and implementing in our personal lives
what’s worked for us professionally.
I realized our work “Why” is really clear, and we’ve never stated our personal why as clearly.
I gotta go, I’ve got a why to create, with Betsy.
