The Importance of Connection and Collaboration

2023 was an interesting year for Balanced Warrior coaches Paul and Chris.  While Paul was growing his coaching business, Chris traveled the world and had a major knee replacement surgery.  Paul was highly focused, and Chris was, as Paul likes to joke, on the “Berlow world tour.”  There was a disconnect between them, and on this podcast, Chris and Paul put themselves through the powerful Rules and Values exercise to understand each of their perspectives.  On a very positive note, the two met at Paul’s house in South Carolina, and both became reinvigorated.  In this very personal podcast, Paul and Chris drop many powerful lessons you could apply to keep your personal and professional relationships positive and meaningful.

• In a partnership, never go too long without connecting and aligning your goals.
• Be proactive with collaborative and creative meetings.
• Understand each other’s motivation to appreciate their perspective.
• Keep the main thing the main thing.
• Paul values growth, and Chris values fun, which wasn’t in alignment.
• Understanding each other’s driving values allows for better communication.
