Teams are where the magic can happen.

Being in a team is great, being in a good team is magic. It’s how the care gets delivered and the work gets done. Teams and teamwork don’t just occur. They take time, intention and effort.

This is a sad moment right here. For all of us. And there ain’t nothing I can say, standing in front of you right now, that can take that away. But please do me this favor, will you? Lift your heads up and look around this locker room. Yeah? Look at everybody else in here. And I want you to be grateful that you’re going through this sad moment with all these other folks. Because I promise you, there is something worse out there than being sad, and that is being alone and being sad. Ain’t nobody in this room alone. Let’s be sad now. Let’s be sad together. And then we can be a gosh-darn goldfish. Onward. Forward.

Jamie, I think that you might be so sure that you’re one in a million, that sometimes you forget that out there, you’re just 1 of 11. And if you just figure out some way to turn that ‘me’ into ‘us’…the sky’s the limit for you.

Ted Lasso

Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.

A group becomes a team when each member is sure enough of himself and his contribution to praise the skills of others.
