Edward and team Thursday evening
Everyone in a light mood.
It’s the first time
The team is together
Having dinner just before Christmas
Celebrating
The tremendous progress made.
…
These last months have been incredible.
So many thoughts
Going through Edward’s mind.
He is leaning back in his chair
Observing the team
Seeing them interact
Talk ... laugh …
Such high energies!
…
Edward’s overwhelming feeling
Is one of gratitude.
He is so grateful for the journey
The team discovered together.
The name of the restaurant
Bright Star is so fitting.
…
The future became bright
When they found
The intricate power of aligning
The personal WHYs with the
Organizational WHY.
This alignment became
The difference maker.
Each team member not only
Discovered their reasons for being
At the division working together
They also found out
Their colleagues are there to assist
Them in achieving their objectives.
…
Edward started to see his role
Being that of Catalyst
Creating dynamics that everyone
Can be at their best.
Now this evening in Bright Star
He recognizes that every team member
Is a catalyst for each other.
“Together Everyone Achieves More”
He recalls what TEAM stands for
Heard for the first time so many years ago
Edward now understands the meaning.
…
Edward looks at the candles at the table
Takes a sip from his wine
Feels another wave of gratitude
Coming over him.
He reflects on his personal life
The changes have been as incredible
As professionally.
He discovered the Way
To inner peace.
Of course, a continuous journey
Still a long way to travel
But …
The Theatre of his Mind has become
His ally … his source of power.
…
Edward now knows
Only when he leads himself
He can lead others.
Such an enlightened discovery.
…
He let go of his need
To direct everything
When he understood
How all is linked:
The WHYs
The vision
How results are created
The behaviors and attitudes
Actions and habits
Feelings and emotions
Thoughts and beliefs.
Life indeed follows a system
A system guided
By the bright star of our mind.
…
After coffee
Edward expressed his gratitude
To the team
Handed to each a pen
With the inscription
“Theatre of the Mind”
And said “I know – together –
We will write a magnificent story in 2025
Your stars will shine bright.”
