Team Building Success Coaches facilitate their own inner process so that they can better be present with their participants. They maintain a learning yearning (I love those 2 words!) orientation to life and remain open to new ideas and input. They are committed to their own self-care to maintain the high energy and awareness required of a facilitative leader, and as a model for others.

Team Building Self-Mastery Skills

Be Real. If you're not being real then you're not being yourself and you compromise your integrity.

See the Façade. Clean your own house so that you can see the dust in another's.

Be Here Now. The present moment contains all the resources you need.

Practice Emotional Mastery. Manage your internal world--quickly recover from emotional imbalance.

Care and Feeding of the Master Facilitator. Care and prepare yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually to maintain peak performance .

Celebrate. Celebrate successes, challenges, wins and losses, friends, colleagues, children and bosses.

Time Doesn't Get Stuck, Have You? Stay in the flow of time to regenerate your reality every moment.

Why Are You a Facilitator? Knowing your true motivation behind your desire to facilitate will strengthen and clarify your conviction and your effectiveness.

Down But Not Out in DC. Prepare for contingencies, people are depending on you.

Facilitating Creative Genius. Learn to facilitate this genius by encouraging your clients to "Just Make Stuff Up, " when they're stuck.

Embrace the Plateau. Positive efforts to improve group functioning don't always yield immediate observable results.

What Story are you Enacting? How much of your life is directed from the foundation of unexamined mythology?
