We all want to belong with the people in our company, believe in the company’s purpose. To live from our values and strengths, and really join in our stories. To have the autonomy and ownership of our own practices, as we work to grow personally and help our company grow. Remote or otherwise, CEOs- just make it so your people can get a yes to these six affirmations, and watch your company change the world.

For SEALs, service and team matter most, and because of that, they pursue and practice excellence in emotional ability and technical skills in order to never let their teammates down.

Players with great coaches believe they can always be better. And they do better. The great coach keeps the space where failure is expected as part of progress and increased competence. 

Belonging lessens fear and makes our aspirations achievable from our pooled hearts, intellect and strengths.
