· Position things from your strengths

· Is there a role or opening that is stressing out the team

· Everyone is not above average

· Know your audience!

· Small things can add significant value

Importance:
 · In transition the first thing is to get your head straight

· What makes me valuable, what are my strengths

· You can turn conflict into a collaboration

· At the moment you have to do 5x the number to hire new people 

· Sometimes people leave because they are ready to grow

· If your team doesn’t feel heard, then they will not be engaged
