I have the privilege of interacting with many dreamers and starters. Perhaps the most crippling hindrance I see to great visions is the absence of a team. Most ideas, dreams, and endeavors are much too heavy to rest on the shoulders of just one person. The job of the leader is to be a vision caster - to find and inspire others who share a passion for the vision.

Believe it or not, there are other people who desire to use their lives for similar things as you; they are simply waiting to be led. Instead of only using your energy and time to create your vision – consider making it a priority to identify and connect with people that could be a part of your team as volunteers, advisors, or staff.

At Broken Voices, we do everything as a team. From staff to volunteers we each have clearly defined roles and responsibilities, but we are a unified force dedicated to a common dream. That unified vision is what drives us, unites us, and motivates us on the good and the difficult days. I am so proud to be a part of this team. I promise whatever you are attempting, you will get further with others shouldering the vision with you.

One of my primary roles is to be expanding and strengthening our team at Broken Voices. My challenge for you is to create a team and intentionally strengthen and grow it every chance you get.
