Show Notes:

• Shannon has realized she only wants to work with partners, not employees, not staff.
• One example of a three-way partnership is the Teamwork Triad, which consist of three people who have a Unique Ability^® in separate but equal areas of “make it up” (creative vision), “make it real” (execution), and “make it recur” (sustainability).
• Great partnerships are built around each person being honest about their strengths and areas of Unique Ability.
• Unique Ability is made up of those activities at which you are capable and confident, but also most love to do.
• Do you know what you’re uniquely exceptional at that you should be doing all the time? Do you know what you should not be doing?
• Having Imposter Syndrome simply means you’re growing and still somewhere in the first three scary stages of The 4 C’s Formula^®—commitment, courage, or capability—and not yet at the last stage, confidence.
• To be a great partner, you can’t be shy and humble about the things you’re really good at.
• You can’t be a partner when you’re doing what you’re incompetent or merely competent at.
• You also can’t be a partner when you’re doing what you’re excellent at but have no passion for.
• When partners work together in Unique Ability^® Teamwork, everyone is committed and energized by what they’re doing.
• How can you tell when you have the right partners working together? You get the highest quality results at crazy fast speeds.
• Being a partner means stepping outside of your preconceived ideas about your role to share the best of yourself: your heart, brain, and will.
