Organizations and Relationships

Copyright Robbie Motter

Just like couples must work

hard to obtain great relationships so must organizations. For 29

years I was the global coordinator for National Association for Fe

male Executives working with all their Directors of their global net

works. In 2017 I started my nonprofit a 501 © (3) organization

called Global Society for Female Entrepreneurs with 11 Southern

Ca Networks.

Each network has their own director and personality and within that

network are very unique women coming from all ethnic and social

economic groups and personalities. Just like in couples coming

together in relationships I think that Trust and Integrity are one of

the key elements in bringing your organization team together.

These diverse members bring different life experiences, uncom

mon work experiences, and varying degree of successes. These

members have basic needs that must be acknowledged and ful

filled if you are there to help them achieve their greatest success.

What makes these groups so special is all these wonderful individ

uals’ creativity, innovation, and different viewpoints all which as a

leader of the group we expect and encourage. As the Founder and

one of the leaders I realize that the members recognize the

strengths in coming together and members can be so important in

brining new ideas, solving problems others may be facing, improve

a process, help each other reach a goal, or together create some

thing new and exciting.

Just like in couples work, listening is an important factor, and also

in remembering it’s not about YOU but how YOU can work united

to help each other.

What I try to do is really get to know each member, find out who

they are,, what is their passion, what other great things have they

done in their lives, where do they see them going in the next 5

years. Another key point many want to be communicated on differ

ent levels, so I try and find out that as well. All those findings help

to know how I can best help them soar to greater heights than they

even imagined, who can I introduce them to, who can I connect much about them and it really helps me to help them. Just as cou

ples really need to look at each other and what they like and don’t

like and what are their goals for themselves and for each other, this

also holds true if you are running an organization as each person is

unique in their own way and its great to capture that and that gives

you great insight as to how to be successful in growing a group that

works together. Remember together we can do more.

For years I have been teaching these women the power of It’s All

About Showing Up and the POWER is in the ASKING” as to me

Showing Up is like a treasure map, you never know what treasure

they will find and believe me they find them. Many over the years

have really seen this work for them and those two sayings are in

stilled in their mind. Many times when they want to do something

and not sure they say “what would Robbie do”, and then the word

SHOW UP comes into their brain and they go and they find an in

credible experience that only makes that saying more powerful.

For many to ASK was very difficult in the beginning but the more

they did it the more it became easier and they could see it really

working. So this year I decided to do a book under that same title

and 38 of my members shared their SHOW UP and ASK stories

and it’s a powerful book that will be out October to be launched at

my Soar to Greatness GSFE Women’s Conference October 17 th at

the Links in Summerly in Lake Elsinore, CA. Learned so much

more about my members that contributed to the book from their

stories, and also in putting together a book with multiple personali

ties a great learning experience which again ties into relationships.

Also during the COVAID 19 curfew I decided to do my Diva Strate

gies for Success radio show everyday Mon-Fri at 4pm PST instead

of once a week to give members something to prepare for instead

of thinking about the Virus, I also learned even more about the

members and they learned about themselves as many had never

done a radio show before and were excited for the opportunity and

most of all that they could do it. Sometimes like in couple relation

ships we are our worst enemy and give ourselves all these nega

tive thoughts of things we cannot do. So, to me in my building rela

tionships I feel like I am their cheerleader to give them permission

to be who they really are and go for their dream and passion as to

me nothing is impossible. Also learning about personalities and

So, in closing let me leave you with these tips that will help you personally and professionally in any relationship:

Accept and Celebrate differences.

Listen effectively

Give people your time

Learn to give and take feedback

Learn to trust more

Develop empathy

Take baby steps out of your comfort zone

Manage mobile technology

Learn the power of SHOWING UP and the POWER of the ASK

Watch for my new show Starting in July on Big Media TV Called Motter’s Moments where I will be interviewing some dynamic executive

Remember great relationships bring us long and forever friendships and enhance our business as well as our own personal growth.
