FINDING HER OWN WAY
“ As I ’ ve grown in my business and as a person , I ’ ve learned that we can only succeed to the level that we believe we ’ re worthy of . Every time I want to look outward for an answer or a reason why something hasn ’ t gone my way , I know that if I look within myself that I can find a solution .”— Rainbeau Mars
We ’ re often told to lead by example when we want a team , group , or organization to be successful . Rainbeau takes this idea even further by putting herself in the shoes of her team members . She considers how they feel , what they ’ re struggling with , and what they need from her . She says , “ Empathy is one word that comes to mind when I think about how I ’ ve been able to lift and support struggling builders . To be effective leaders , we must lead by example and listen with empathy .” After years of experience as a leader , Rainbeau has found that “ people do what we do , not just what we tell them to do .”
Rather than simply telling her team what to do , Rainbeau has led her team by example , working on herself first before giving her team correction or instruction . “ As a leader , my commitment has always been toward my own personal work and development , and then I share those tools with my fellow builders ,” she says . “ By doing the work myself and then sharing , I ’ ve been able to support and empower my team members .”
As a creative thinker , Rainbeau admits that some of the administrative aspects of the business were a struggle for her , and she quickly became overwhelmed .
Instead of letting this hold her back , Rainbeau showed her team that , as a leader , she ’ s willing to tackle her challenges head-on . She committed to learning how the back office works and even reached out to her team members for help getting organized . Looking back on the experience , she says , “ I fought through that hurdle , and I now find the administrative side to be fun , grounding , humbling , and empowering .”
Knowing what it ’ s like to feel overwhelmed , Rainbeau never wants her team members to feel as if they ’ re being swallowed up by business problems . She believes that one of the best ways
