Call it a tribe. Call it a family.
Whatever you call it, whoever you are,
you need one.
Jane Howard
I immensely enjoy the benefits of my connection with the women of my tribe. They inspire me. They motivate me. They support me. They help me bring my ideas to life by actively listening and providing objectivity. This experience has provided an opportunity to look at the value of these connections to offer you insight.
What are the essential components of being in a tribe and maximizing the benefits of such an experience?
Essential components
- Trustworthy colleagues who have something to offer you in business and in life
- Colleagues for whom you have something valuable to offer (complimentary talents)
- People with whom there's a good fit, e.g. similar work ethic, integrity, sense of humor, etc.
- Personal and professional comradery
- Support in forward thinking/trendsetting
- Rapid results for goal achievement
- Business propulsion
- Brainstorming opportunities
- Complementary, objective perspectives
- Exposure to an interesting variety of personalities, ideas, and energy
- Think of giving first
- Be respectful of the time of others -- limit email and telephone inquiries to those of the most important
- When possible, make yourself immediately available when others need your help - this experience makes a lasting impression because people make the link to you helping when they need you most
As you can see, establishing and maintaining tribal relationships is personally and professionally advantageous.
Connections may last days, months or years based on what each person needs, but the longer these relationships are fostered, the stronger the dynamic because you create history -- and memories -- together.
I highly recommend getting a tribe of your own to serve and be served.
