MOTIVATE YOUR TEAM

Mylène had been using essential oils to support her health and her family for some time before her friend and now upline , Marie-Kim Provencher , introduced her to dōTERRA oils and the business opportunity . Because Mylène had dreamt for years of being self-employed , she was immediately interested . She soon committed as she saw how her interest in the oils , her desire to be selfemployed , and her work experience in customer service and business development could work together .

In all that Mylène has experienced since then through her dōTERRA business , she is grateful to Marie- Kim . She says , “ I sincerely believe that if I had not had the confidence and motivation of my best friend and upline , I would not be here today . My upline believed in me more than I believed in myself . This allowed me to grow and become what she saw in me .”
Because she has seen the power of having someone believe in her , Mylène strives to provide the same for her own team . This goes hand-in-hand with her Why . “ I believe that anyone can make their dreams come true by using their talents and creative energy . I wake up each morning with the goal of motivating one more person to put his or her talents to work to serve others .” Mylène also works to create connections between the people she meets to form a team that uses the talents of each member .
Mylène built on the talents and strengths of her team to help her reach Diamond . She explains , “ Building to Diamond wasn ’ t really my choice — it was done with my team . When you meet passionate people who also want to develop their businesses and achieve financial independence , you have no choice but to work as a team with them for this shared purpose .” One of the turning points for Mylène was reaching Silver ; she could see the dedication of her builders , and she wanted to help each of them achieve their own long-term goals .
To reach Diamond , Mylène applied her talents and strengths on a new level . “ I had to work on my self-confidence as a leader . I had to decide what kind of leader I wanted to be for my team , and I wanted to be the best I could for them .” She also feels it is important to create a timeline and action plan to achieve any goal , such as hitting Diamond .
“ That ’ s what I did , one step at a time , one customer at a time , one builder at a time . When your plan is clear , you put the actions in step-by-step , and you quickly realize that you have reached your goal and it is time to set another .”
Now that she has achieved her goal of Diamond , Mylène is eager to continue working toward new goals and helping her team do the same . She says , “ All of my frontline leaders want to reach Diamond in the coming months . I share my experience and how I got here . Personal development is the key . We all have blocks and constraints that slow us down . When we become aware of those and move past them , we can achieve great things .”
MOTIVATE YOUR TEAM
Work in their strengths
“ I work with each team member in their strengths and zone of genius . Builders can get discouraged when tasks are too far from their zone of genius , so I try to highlight their strengths first and then work with them in the areas that challenge them .”
Attend events
“ Events are a great source of motivation for me and my team . Participating in convention each year has given me more confidence in the company , more product knowledge , and a motivation boost to share with the rest of my team .”
Foster team spirit
“ Team spirit is one source of my motivation . That ’ s why I made it my mission to get to know each member of my team . We have mentoring calls , coffee meetings , Zoom meetings , and mini boot camps . It ’ s important to gather and work together .”
