Sharing Your Talents: Three Ways to GIVE to Your Team
Giving of ourselves to our teams is a tremendous opportunity. The daily grind, expectations, pressure, and the constant drive to impress can often clutter our minds. Yet, shifting our mindset to generously share our talents is always well-received.
Though acts of giving may go unnoticed or unacknowledged at times, rest assured, they are always appreciated.
Have you ever heard anyone say, “I wish they would stop being so kind all the time?” Probably not. Our genuine kindness has the power to inspire, help, encourage, teach, coach, and enhance both the work and lives of others. That alone is a compelling reason to GIVE kindness.
What about those who react to your kindness with skepticism or doubt? Perhaps they’ve experienced toxic cultures in past jobs, or kindness in their personal lives came with strings attached. Persevere. Over time, your genuine kindness and interest will resonate with them, leading to deeper engagement and better professional outcomes.
Three Ways to GIVE Your Talents to Your Team
1 – Leverage your strengths
Identify your natural strengths and share them with your team early and often. Your expertise can guide and uplift others.
2 – Leverage your personality
There’s only one you in the entire universe. Embrace your uniqueness and let your authentic self shine. Your genuine personality can connect and inspire your team in unexpected ways.
3 – Leverage your uniqueness
Embrace your quirks, experiences, and attributes that make you unique. When you lean into your individuality, others are encouraged to do the same, fostering a culture of collective creativity and innovation within your diverse team.
By leveraging your strengths, personality, and uniqueness, you can profoundly impact your team. These acts of giving not only enhance the work environment but also build a stronger, more cohesive team. Embrace the opportunity to GiVE, and watch as your team thrives under your authentic leadership.
