\n\t\"Never<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn this series so far, we’ve touched on these steps toward creating our brand deliberately.  I hope you are taking action or have already taken action on these steps.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t1.  Get clear on values and philosophy…<\/a><\/strong> what we stand for and believe in in our lives and practices.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2.  Share the above with the team clearly and passionately.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t3. <\/strong> Be sure we, the leaders, are modeling the behavior and acting in alignment with our values.<\/strong><\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tToday, I’d like to focus on the leader of our practices.<\/strong>  It is so important that we model the behaviors, attitudes, etc that are in alignment with our values. <\/strong> Sometimes this is harder than it seems because we get busy, distracted, afraid, unfocused, etc.  I have a few suggestions for staying on track:<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n\ta.  Ask your team to hold you accountable or remind you.  They can have code words or some way to ask if that’s aligned with our values, etc.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tb.  Talk about your values and philosophy in the huddle, throughout the day, in meetings.  Read inspirational messages or books aligned with the values and philosophy of the practice (as a team).\n<\/p>\n

\n\tc.  Have structures or support systems in place around the office as a reminder—post-its, signs, screen savers, theme of the week…\n<\/p>\n

\n\td.  Don’t give up and don’t beat yourself up if you forget or get out of the habit.  Just come right back.\n<\/p>\n

\n\te.  Revisit this conversation in a big way at least once a year.  For instance, at an annual meeting.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tI’d love to hear your suggestions for staying on track with this…. Leave your comments below in the box! \n<\/p>\n

\n\tMy intention is to have a conversation about this… our combined best practices!\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tHave an amazing week!<\/strong><\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAllison<\/strong><\/em>\n<\/p>\n
