Are you embodying the spirit of your business as a leader? Do you operate in a way that aligns with your business values, encouraging your team to do the same?

I’m sure we’d all hope to answer ‘yes’ to these questions, but the reality is: when stress levels and demands of us as business owners are high, it’s easy to lose sight of the vision we originally had for our business.

Today, I share with you a lesson that I learnt from my beautiful daughter Taya, and how her story is a wonderful example of how being the “spirit of your shed” - AKA living and breathing the spirit of your business - can have a powerful impact on your team and work environment.

So what is the ‘spirit of the shed’? I take you back to when Taya was in Grade 8 at school and had decided to join the rowing team. Now, she wasn’t the star athlete, but what she brought to the table was unique and highly valuable.

Taya cheered everyone on and celebrated their wins. She organised picnics for comp days and made the entire experience more enjoyable for the whole team. For this, she was awarded “The Spirit of the Shed” for embodying the spirit and camaraderie that defined the essence of the team.

I encourage you to imagine if you were the spirit of your shed. Are you truly living and breathing the spirit of your company? If not, it’s time to realign with your values and consider what you might change to create a thriving culture within your business.

So go out there, be the spirit of YOUR shed and watch as your business flourishes in ways that you never imagined!
