When I say business is a team sport, I’m talking about more than the people working beside you.
I’m talking about everyone who has played a part in who you’ve become.
Your children, who teach you patience and give you a deeper understanding of love.
The people who back you, especially when you’re struggling to back yourself.
And sometimes, the people whose impact on your life has been painful.
I’ve had experiences I struggled to imagine ever feeling grateful for. But working through them taught me things about myself that I needed to learn.
When to trust my instincts. When to make a difficult decision. How to become a better father, a better leader and a better student of life.
That perspective didn’t come straight away. It took time to recognise what I’d learned and how I’d grown.
Looking back, I can appreciate how those experiences shaped me, even though they were difficult to live through.
And it reminds me to appreciate the people who are beside me now. The ones I’m still learning from, growing with and building alongside.
Who has helped you become who you are today, and do they know it?
