Strengths + Weakness Redefined

By |2020-08-26T16:12:32-04:00August 26th, 2020|Business, Classes, Faith, Faith-Based Leadership|

It's not really about what we're good at or not so good at, but what He can do through us with or in spite of those things. Amen? In yesterday's mastermind, our members asked Michelle and Somer some pretty incredible questions that led to some rich (and sometimes hilarious!) conversations. But the above formula is what we ultimately walked away with, along with some really practical ways to make this standard for how we re-frame strengths and weaknesses in our everyday lives. Here are the questions we covered in class: - What are your thoughts on how to use personality tests? - What is the best strategy to steer your team around their strengths and weaknesses without stepping on toes? - Is there such a thing as too much personal development? - What's the line between developing skills (for yourself and those you lead) without becoming prideful or self-reliant? - Is it bad to depend on someone else in the areas where I am weak? - How do our strengths and weaknesses, spiritual gifts and fruits of the Spirit interact? ...and more! Wanna join the conversation? You're just a few clicks away from joining the swHw community, and we [...]

Be a Peacemaker

By |2020-08-20T14:29:15-04:00August 20th, 2020|Uncategorized|

If you've noticed, we've been a little "parenting" heavy lately. Yes, we usually show up to talk about how the Bible ties into our work... but we also cannot and will not neglect the very real and current needs of working women. We're here for the Spirit-led conversations, not for our brand or strategic algorithms, amen? And as a community, parenting is big piece of where our heads and hearts are right now. You too? Yesterday, Somer Phoebus taught part 2 of How to Not Idolize Your Kids and got super practical. One of our top takeaways? Remember the power in being a peacemaker. There is absolutely a time to step in and put your foot down, but sometimes, you can diffuse a situation with love and peace before it gets to discipline and rebuke...and you just might just be surprised at the effect it can have on that little one or big kid that's on the receiving end. Want to catch this recording along with part 1? It's easy! Just become a member and you'll get access. Join swHw!

In case you don’t already know, I have served as Executive Assistant to Michelle and She Works HIS Way for the past six years. Even though Michelle and I are quite opposite from each other, it’s true: opposites attract! We have an incredible working relationship, as well as a personal friendship. Inside this resource, you’ll find a sneak peek into some of the every day tasks I do that have tremendously helped free up Michelle’s brain space so she has more time to do what she’s great at—being a visionary. So if you’ve got a supervisor, try a few of these tips to WOW them by doing tasks they probably don’t even know need to be done. Here are two of Teeny’s ten tips: Take ownership over simple decisions so their brain can be used for big picture and vision. There’s a high level of trust in an executive assistant/manager relationship. Michelle has empowered me to be able to make decisions on my own.

Customer Service –> Customer Care

By |2020-08-12T20:23:38-04:00August 12th, 2020|Business, Faith-Based Leadership|

"The difference between genuine work for the glory of God and all other work is God as your foundation. It has nothing to do with the task." - Michelle Myers So if you've found yourself believing that the task is what give your work importance, maybe you just need the reminder that godly work gets its importance from God. Pressure off. But also, focus on. Probably one of the most difficult areas (but most important!) ways to live our faith at work is in our interactions with others. And that's where making the upgrade from customer service to customer care comes in. And when we talk care speaking to Christ-followers, we don't mean merely a feeling or a brand value.  Care of Christ's standards cannot be faked, automated or mustered up in your own strength. We mean genuine care that flows out of us because Christ is in us. Here's a quick look at the difference: It can seem daunting to attempt to keep up with standard customer service expectations in small organizations -- because big businesses sets the standard. Customer care is where small organizations can win. Stop wasting your time fighting battles you'll probably lose that [...]

Graphic Design Basics for Novice Designers

By |2020-08-03T13:38:47-04:00August 6th, 2020|Branding, Business|

There’s nothing “basic” about great graphic design, but there are some easy elements to consider and some you should avoid before you start designing! Here’s a sneak peek into our members only resource this month: DO: Be Consistent with your Branding Beyond the use of your logo, typography, colors, and photos in a design, using them consistently (and correctly) is essential in launching and sustaining your brand. All these elements as a whole bring your brand to life! Your logo isn’t your whole brand, but it is the basis upon which you will build everything else. It’s the most visible branding asset that people will identify as you or your business. Be sure it is legible, not pixilated or stretched. If you don’t have a brand guide, consider investing in one to establish all of your brand elements – especially if you have a team of designers or are going to be outsourcing design work. Choose and use fonts (probably some used in your logo) consistently across your pieces. Same for colors – over time, the repetition of color usage, font usage, and your logo will solidify your ‘look’ and make yourself easily identifiable in a sea of businesses. [...]
