TRIP TIP #5 "Spirit + Adventure = A New Vision!" (Photo by Keith Renninson)



Hi, this is Keith Renninson, "The Tenacity Expert" professional speaker & author of “Tenacity, You Don’t Have to Get Lost in Nepal to Find Yourself, But it Helps!” with the next installment of my TRIP Tips for the financial services professional. 

Remember that TRIP is an acronym for TENACITY, RESILIENCE, IMAGINATION, AND PURPOSE.  So, let’s get started! 

Finding your individual spirit, adding in a little adventure will always generate a new vision.

When developing a new vision, mission statement, or goal for your team or clients can build excitement and positive energy within you and them and that's a great starting point.  "You don't have to be good to start, you just have to start to be good" as my friend, professional speaker, and mentor Joe Sabah used to say.
We all are unique in our own special way.  My mother would say that this was your God-given spirit or soul. Find your uniqueness, explore it, and then apply it.

Taking time to find what makes you stand out from the crowd though is key.  You don’t want to come off like everyone else…no cookie-cutter ideas here, just that which makes you special and different. Yeah, this may look a little like work, but you can make it fun.   Especially if your working with your team first.  Everyone can contribute to the pot of life experience to find that synchronicity and spontaneity where creativity becomes energized and you explode with ideas.  Once you've done this foundational process the sooner you can start moving your vision down the road to completion and success. 

This then becomes a new push with your clients to educate them on TRIP, your new vision, and its specific components that apply directly to your clients.  This will make them feel special and they will see how you are involved with their plans for the future and ultimately their success.  Every client and team member needs to be heard and understood.  Being tenacious in your approach and implementation will satisfy that need.  You’re the leader, they look to you for this spirit and you can supply it with ease and with tenacity and adventure.

Spirit is what moves us.  It's that part of us that gets excited when it’s happy.  When you have a happy spirit you're more adventurous and creative.  Spirit is what generates adventure, venturing into the unknown, and making something out of nothing until it is meaningful.  A new vision can invigorate your team and clients and help them see you as their trusted advisor.

Well, that’s it for this installment, I hope you’ve got some new ideas on how to proceed.

Remember to take a TRIP for a lifetime, not a trip of a lifetime.

Happy creating!

Teams using TRIP!
By Keith Renninson 07 Apr, 2023
This is the second in a series of four on team building with TRIP. Remember, in my last blog I shared that it would be performed in reverse with “purpose” first and now we will implement the “imagination” section. Imagination is probably the most fun of the character traits of TRIP. I love it because I can immerse myself in creativity and play!

How can TRIP help with team building you ask? By using it backwards! Huh? Yup, we will start with “Purpose” instead of Tenacity. The series will move from purpose to imagination, to resilience, and lastly to tenacity. When you look at TRIP from this reverse perspective it becomes clear that it flows naturally in team building and task completion. As with any project you must know your purpose first, so that’s where we will start.
