If you talk a lot, at a party, in meetings at work, with friends, everywhere; people inadvertently will start smelling your weakness and you will open yourself up to ridicule. People will start avoiding you and eventually you will lose value and influence on your teammates.

Most of human communication is non verbal. When you are focusing on talking you become self absorbed, you at times miss so much non verbal communication hints and you will appear inept, arrogant and even at times rude. You will also be easily scammed or played, since you are missing so much important information that is non verbal.

I know the world keeps telling you to "do you", to "be you", and to "be unapologetic" while at it, but there are values that will never get out of trend. Most who cheer you on when you are being self destructive will also be laughing behind your back when you make a big fool of yourself.

So, shush.

Be quiet.

Take it easy. Beat that urge to want to explain or to be defensive. Keep quiet. Watch and listen. It will take some practicing and once you do, you will be alive to so much more that you were missing previously. You will become better understood when you finally speak, you will remove prejudices that people associates you with and you will gain influence with your teammates.

If you are outgoing and that's how you are wired as an extrovert, understand that while you are perfectly normal, there are some skills that are vital for you to thrive and you need to groom and build those skills which might make you feel like you are going against who you are, but in actual sense they are not. Master self control. Deny yourself the instant gratification of over explaining.

As you sit quietly in that meeting, learn also to quieten the voices in your mind. Be present. Listen to others deliberately and keenly without looking for an urge to respond. When it's your turn, make it simple and take a moment before blurting out what's in your mind or heart. It will help you sober up and be more effective in your communication.

This goes also for social media posting. Not everything needs to be posted.

Not everything needs to be said.

When you were going through life altering trauma, your age-mates were free to grow and develop in healthy ways.

You might feel like you were left behind. Please be gentle with yourself. You were trying to survive. You need self love and to relearn how to be safe again. ~Wahinya Macharia

New or dissenting ideas are not necessarily bad. If they make you uncomfortable, check your thoughts and manage your fears. Self-preservation has a way of killing ideas that rattles comfort zones, status quo or positional privileges. Don't be the biggest threat to new ideas. ~Leo Kinuthia.

Rise, do not sit in the ashes, do not sit in dissapointments, do not sit in self pity, pull yourself from the bootstraps and rise.

There’s an old saying among sports coaches:

“A champion team will defeat a team of champions.”

However, as much as we value the ideals of teamwork and connectedness, there’s also the alternative notion of the “rugged individual” or “prima donna,” who stands out from the crowd and succeeds without help from anyone.

Our culture often places more value on a single talented person than on a cohesive team that has no standout star.

Research has to ask, what is better: one standout player or a cohesive team of average performers?

We at Team Building Africa believes that most people chose a career for different motives. In Africa, one of the most inspiring factor in choosing a career or a specific job is the renumeration on offer. This means, very few people are gifted in the work that they do and it takes hard work to deliver and perform at workplace.

However a Champion Team can be built out of people who have very little ability of only good team work and cohesion in a team can be created through Team Building.

Team Building needn't be embarrassing. Team Building shouldn't make fun at the expense of some of your team mates.

Team Building should motivate you, keep you rejuvenated and inspire you to become more.

Team Building should be fun and even after you are gone back to the office, your team should be able to measure the gains and the transformation should be evident.

That's exactly how we like Team Building.

Clever, fun, educative, inspiring and healing!
