Teamwork with Darlene Hawley, Christy Maxfield & Wendy Parslow

This week on GoalChatLive, I talked about teamwork with leadership and business coach Darlene Hawley, Christy Maxfield of Purpose First Advisors, and senior leader Wendy Parslow. Teamwork is “the combined action of a group of people.” It impacts your personal – as well as your professional – life.

Darlene, Christy, and Wendy discussed ideas for building and maintaining teams, leadership tips, strategies for better communication, and so much more.

What is Teamwork?

• Darlene: People coming together with a mission or vision, and bringing their skillsets
• Wendy: When everyone knows what they are contributing
• Christy: Understanding how your skills compliment others, so you build something bigger than yourselves
• Wendy: When 1 + 1 = 3

Remember …  

• Darlene; There is no I in Team!
• Wendy: Discomfort opens doors
• Christy: We are humans working with humans. Respect each other’s humanity

Final Thoughts

• Darlene: Keep speaking up, standing out, and making an impact
