THE SOUL OF “HOLISTIC” GROWTH CULTURES   This week I was coaching and advising the leadership group of Chomps, a better-for-you meat snack brand, grass-fed, hormone / antibiotic free, humanely raised, and a mission inspired group. And they are EXPLODING. The team embraced a transparent, open, and vulnerable discussion on the big blind spots hampering most organizations and leaders.  A few lessons learned.   WHY ARE ALL TEAMS VULNERABLE TO A FALL? They lack or do not prioritize Team Unity.   “Unity” is a superpower and high performing teams have mastered this inner game. They are not fearful of taking off their masks, embracing vulnerability and transparency. They strive for ONENESS. They are open to feedback instead of craving viewpoints that validate our own assumptions. They are not prisoners of our own expectations. Do you challenge your own script? WHAT MINDSET DO TEAMS NEED TO THRIVE TODAY? The most critical behaviors in any team is coachability, self-awareness, poise under pressure, and being able to thrive in ambiguity. Google’s Project Aristotle discovered there are 5 factors driving high performing teams.  1. SAFETY – If I make a mistake, it is not held against me. 2. DEPENDABLE – Teammates do what they say they will do. 3. CLARITY – Our team has a crisp decision-making process. 4. MEANING – The work I do is meaningful to me. 5. IMPACT – I understand how my work contributes to the big picture. Team Chomps you are embracing and practicing the 5 pillars of high performing teams. Remember, “Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation and creativity.” (Brené Brown)  I am cheering you on from the sidelines.

Dreams do come true! Chomps is beyond excited to be on the shelf at Publix Super Markets and I must say, it just felt right buying this brand at this retailer. A huge thank you to David Urfer for the support. We’ve got an exciting road ahead.
