I’ve come, and where
I’ll be able to go.”

dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2015
STRENGTHENS YOU WHEN
YOU’RE WEAK. “My business
grew so fast and I was going
through so much personally
that it made it really difficult in
the beginning to be the best
leader I could be. That’s why
I’m so grateful to have such a
great upline who helped my
leaders with things I wasn’t
capable of giving yet.”
RELIES ON STRONG
RELATIONSHIPS. “If you don’t
have good relationships with
your people, then it’s hard to
know what they’re thinking
and where they’re at. I make
sure that I’m in constant contact
with my leaders so I know what
I need to do on my end to help
them and be able to give them
the best support possible.”
COMES WITH GOOD
STRUCTURING. “I help create
good support systems in my
team by grouping people
together that work in similar
industries, have friends in
common, or that I know will be
able to collaborate with one
another. It’s important that
they feel like they can relate to
and work with the people on
their team.”
