Personal and Professional Bests

For all Leadership Team Meetings (or L10), starting a meeting with personal and professional bests is a simple yet powerful practice.

I am often asked, why?🤔

Here’s why it matters:

1. ✈️𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Sharing personal wins fosters a sense of camaraderie and helps team members connect on a human level, strengthening relationships.

2. ➕𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗲: Reflecting on accomplishments—both personal and professional—starts the meeting on an uplifting note, encouraging positivity and engagement.

3. 🧘‍♂️𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: This practice helps everyone transition into the meeting by shifting their focus away from the email they need to send or the call they just had, allowing them to be fully present and engaged.

4. ⚖️𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Acknowledging both personal and work-related wins emphasizes the importance of balance, reminding everyone that life outside work matters too.

5. 🪞𝗘𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Sharing highlights helps individuals recognize their own achievements, boosting confidence and focus.

In the EOS framework, personal and professional bests are a core part of Level 10 Meetings for good reason—they inspire, connect, and ensure everyone is focused and ready to collaborate effectively.
