We’re All Ears Interview Series: Build a Culture of Abundance & Confidence With Christina Rowe

Build a Culture of Abundance & Confidence

Christina Rowe is the founder of The Collaborative Team.  She provides leadership and team development for small to medium businesses through a positive strengths based approach of coaching.  She is an expert in helping people understand how to improve their group dynamics.  She shares many of her insights on group dynamics and tribe building in our conversation today! 

Key Takeaways From Our Discussion:

• In order to get to high functioning trust in a group, you must first start with understanding people’s strengths and their values.  
• Foster a culture of abundance, rather than scarcity, creates a more successful trust being built naturally rather than competition.  
• Giving first matters even more in situations where there is a traditional hierarchy of team roles.  Don’t be afraid of being surpassed.  Set others up for success.  You never know when that is going to have a boomerang effect on you.  
• Slow down and listen to what people need information on.  Pay attention to how people are experiencing their projects and goals.  Be mindful and thoughtful in how you approach it.  Let people feel heard and understood.  Slow down and find out what people actually need.  
• “We live in a culture that is afraid to pause.  Sometimes people just need the moment to be heard.”
• “Avoidance rarely solves anything.”
• “My biggest regret as an entrepreneur is not playing my “newbie card” more when I was just starting out.”
• Ask people where they see your content or pay attention to it most.  Ask them during face to face conversations!  
• Leverage any speaking engagement you have on social media!  People are paying attention to these posts, and often they are people you least expect!
