Find Your People By Jennie Allen
We stay stuck in the routines of our lives.
We don’t connect with others, we seclude ourselves for self-protection and stay within the social circles we are comfortable with.
Yet we remain unsatisfied with our lives and wonder whether or not life is supposed to be this way.
Yet we wonder how to find our community, our people, the ones who will fight for us and who are worth fighting for.
What is a Community?
Community is more then friendships.
Community is a way of life and is essential to living a fulfilled life.
In addition, the sense of community is based on the truths that people are the best and most painful part of our lives.
Your Community is made of non toxic people who see you, know you and who are willing to be seen and known by you.
Principles for Community
Community is necessay.
Needing other people is not a weakness but a strength.
There are 5 principles to building a healthy Community.
1. Proximity
The principle of Proximity relates to a need for intimacy and physical closeness.
To create Proximity, you can start noticing people in your vecinity and initiating the friendship even if you get frustrated.
2. Transparency
Closeness leads to Transparency.
However, you will only be as close as you are transparent and vulnerable.
3. Accountability
When we are left alone, we tend to become the worst versions of ourselves.
That is why Community has the potential to make us better and keep us accountable.
Indeed, Community makes us more effective, challenges us to aim higher, sharpens the mind and speaks truth.
4. Shared purpose
Most communities are built around a bigger and common mission.
Communities give the opportunity to do something meaningful and exciting.
5. Consistency
Communities provides healthy and consistent relationships.
Usually, people aren’t because they don’t want to deal with conflicts.
Nevertheless, conflicts are an inherent part of life.
That is why the people from your Community have to be consistent, choose to stay and be willing to be inconvenienced by your relationship.
To stay consistent, one must:
- Assume the best because so many offenses are misunderstandings.
- Seek peace and address a problem directly before it grows.
- Be quick to apologize and make amends.
Review
Find Your People by Jennie Allen is a faith-based self-help book about building deep community.
Find Your People is destined mostly for extroverts, for people who are hardwired for relationships, for people who are afraid of being alone and of being lonely.
It is also written for those who hope to make deep connection and build an authentic community.
Allen uses her own life experiences and as an example of moving from a space of lack and fear to one of finding the right community.
Indeed, Allen transforms her initial neediness for relationship into a personal strength.
Furthermore, she demonstrates through biblical references that Deep Community is a social necessity and a path to greater success, hope and faith.
It seems like building and keeping that Community requires hardwork but is worth it.
Finally, Allen stressed that there are no perfect people but only the right people for you.
So, go out there and find your people!

Favorite quote(s)
But community is bigger than two or three friends. Community should be the way we live.
We live guarded because we fear someone will use our weakness against us.
No one can be your everything, but everyone has something to say, something to teach you, and something to bring to your life.
Conflict isn’t the enemy to our friendships; conflict is fodder to make them grow. Conflict is inevitable in the kind of deep community we are talking about here.
If we’re going to deal with an offense, it needs to be a real offense. This is my rule on when to address something: don’t react too quickly. So many hurts are just misunderstandings.

Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2021 9 Tips To Lead Employees Working Remotely
Working from home has become the norm in the last few weeks, and has allowed companies to remain competitive and productive.
Employees can now get work done, tend to personal obligations and spend more time with their families.
That being said, leaders have to maintain their objectives and keep an eye on their teams.
Wondering how to help establish remote working and lead your team from afar?
There are amazing benefits to having remote workers: you save money and office space, workers save time and energy from the commute.
It will certainly improve employee engagement and boost morale.
There are different ways that you can help establish remote working.
1. Make a general assessment
Each company has unique needs. Therefore, you first need to assess the needs and the equipments of your company.
Secondly, you need to assess the position and responsibility of the employee. The position needs to be suited for remote work. You may want to understand with whom they confer with, how long they work and what do they need to get work done.
2. Get to know your team
Should all employees be allowed to work remotely?
To allow employees to work from home, you have to know how well they produce work and how serious, disciplined, mature and autonomous they are.
Some employees may be new to the company, may need a lot of supervision, may have difficulty communicating from a distance or may not know how to balance their work and life.
You can put remote under a trial period to test their ability to produce quality work remotely.
3. Make sure you trust your team
Before sending them out to work remotely, you must be able to trust your team and know that they will be pulling their weight.
Remote workers are not that hard to supervise but it all depends on your level of trust.
4. Invest in new technology
In order for you to keep up with your remote team, you may need to invest in digital workspaces.
These workspaces will allow you to schedule meetings, share documents, set deadlines, give instructions, train your team, communicate securely with your team and track their individual progress.
5. Clarify goals
Information can easily get lost when you are working remotely.
It becomes important for you to clarify your objectives and ensure that your team understands what needs to be done.
This will make it easier for them to stay on task, for you to track their progress and to address any issues.
6. Create a structure around your team
Let your team know at what time and for which activities they need to be available.
Working from home provides great flexibility but remote workers may have to also obey a code of conduct, a dress code and fixed hours to keep them engaged and far from burning out.
7. Plan in person meetups
Remote workers can get lonely and lose touch with their organization.
They will even have more difficulty keeping up and communicating with your team in the office.
Therefore, it becomes detrimental to make yourself available to them, keep them in the loop, encourage communication and include them in meetings and all meetups.
8. Deal with the legal aspects
You have to make sure that your team agrees with requirements and conditions of working from home.
Their information and data must be protected and they have to be safe, insured and properly equipped.
9. Equip your team
Your team may need a computer, a dedicated office space, a better and protected internet connection.Overall, keep in mind that working remotely reduces the cost of operation.
Last Words Of Advice!
Productivity and work life balance have somewhat improved thanks to remote working. Employees are more and more looking for companies that can provide them with enough telecommuting.
However, just like working in a cubicle, remote working is not made for everybody and should not be imposed.
Some people enjoy human contact and others may want a better work-life balance but may suffer the consequences of working alone.
Hope that I’ve helped you get it together on your way to leadership!

Building an ideal team is one of the most complex but also one of the most rewarding and advantageous responsibility of a leader.
As a result, the team was a unsalvable shipwreck: every man for himself, searching for a flotation device, fighting to get on land. My former boss manipulative behavior created a toxic climate where people were continually in flight or fight mode, were mistrustful towards one another, would turn on each other, retain information and sabotage every other person efforts to succeed, were obliged to seek his “affections” and to continually prove their loyalty to him in order to feel safe in their position, were more focused on office politics than on their work, were always on the lookout of a scapegoat, were afraid of speaking up and being transparent.
