Merry Monday!

Merry Monday TeamStars,

I’m delighted to share this week’s passionate message with you, which was kindly written by Claire Forbes…

Steve Martin once said “Be so good they can’t ignore you.”

Now, it’s probably easier to think of being a good neurosurgeon like Chris Barnard or a brilliant visionary like Steve Jobs. But what about the other areas of life where being the benchmark is not such an easy association to make, like giving back to the community or personal integrity?

Last week as part of a Women’s Day initiative, a group of teamstars created a benchmark of a different kind. We went to Arcadia Place old age home in Observatory. We took action to be the change that we wanted to see in the world. I’m sure those old folks would say we made a big difference. We could have done much less, but instead we benchmarked what it means to care, to get involved, to make meaning and to listen. Now, isn’t that where benchmarking begins?  

We are a business that dreams of positively shaping the future of people and organisations. Well done to all who stepped up and gave into this dream last week. Powerful stuff! Let’s keep the flywheel spinning…

Have a wonderful week.

Warm regards,
Joanne Sharpe
