Hey guys, Mike Andrews here. I am the Business Development Manager at Absolute Balance, a role I have filled for just over 18 months. This exciting role has allowed me to learn an immense amount about myself and the team that makes up our business.
The team of exercise physiologists, the corporate team, and injury prevention, have phenomenal positive outcomes and back to work results, proving their elite level of work. The team is changing lives on the daily, however I often notice how they overlook their own impact, and just shrug it off as “just doing my job”. I agree, they are doing their job, but the impact and effect is way more than that and there is importance in knowing your impact.
Now this is where I come in, and I love my role, without a doubt, I consider it an absolute privilege. I spend quality face to face time with our team, assisting and coaching them on their mindset around their impact of “just doing my job”. As a result of my role and my interaction with the team believe “BDM” should stand for Building & Developing Mindset.
Each team member has a different approach to their work, comes from a different mindset, background, and has their own strengths, and or weakness, an aspect which makes the time spent with them so rewarding. Everyone will find their sweet spot with their mindset at different stages which is great! With that being said, the real goal for the business is combining the individual strengths into a highly functioning team. In my view, the simpler and more straight forward the goals/attributes the better.
I’ve stated three that I believe will result in a highly functioning team, which are:
1. Clear vision.
2. Clear roles for each team member.
3. Celebrating the process.
As important as each attribute is, I believe the last one outweighs the rest. When you combine the energy and passion our team have with an improved mindset, each day will be more rewarding and enjoyable. My role is to help assist the team members to use their attributes and strengths to find their sweet spot or ultimate mindset. That’s why I believe my role is so enjoyable and ultimately should stand for Building & Developing Mindset.
