I had cause to go back and revisit some notes from a session I facilitated entitled ‘keeping on track in a downturn’ today. There are many key learnings not least the need to be authentic. However the first insight made me stop and think today. The insight says…
You broke through your closed shell of isolation into a true understanding and experience of team work.
As I said in the notes at the time there are 3 aspects to this card:
- breaking through the closed shell of isolation
- true understanding of teamwork
- true experience of teamwork
It’s certainly very difficult to keep on track if we isolate ourselves, so too if we experience teamwork where everyone operates in their own silos.
Perhaps we’re being asked to consider what breaking through our closed shell of isolation into a true understanding and experience of teamwork would look, sound and feel like or perhaps it’s a reminder we’re already doing it.
Coming across these notes again was a great reminder that after a period of working nearly extensively at home, and perhaps getting myself cut off a little in the process, the increased contact with others has certainly brought more energy into my work and life. Life certainly doesn’t seem so difficult when we share it (the ups and the downs) with others.
Who can you reach out to today to truely experience team work and keep yourself on track?
