Do you remember the television show Transformers? Do you remember when Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots would say "Autobots Roll Out"? What happened is all of the auto-bots would roll together in order to transform for battle.

I received an email recently from a very close friend who was in need of support from her inner circle. The email was detailed as it listed the issue, need and desired outcome. The mission, if we chose to accept it, was to be there to support her in a time of crisis. We didn't have to meet or interact all the time. We simply had to adhere to a schedule that she sent over to us that placed everyone was in the same page.

Most people have childhood, college friends and work colleagues make up our inner circle. This inner circle will cover you no matter where you are or what situation you may be experiencing.

Most time we call this group to talk or yell and they allow you to vent with no questions asked. And that is it!!!! Guess what, you felt better but the situation resurfaced shortly thereafter.

Here's a great example of how to utilize your inner circle:
Send a detailed email or message
Detail the situation
Detail the need
Detail the desired outcome

This structure will yield great advice and cause related comments that should help you get great results. You will also have a team working with you to get to the root of your issue and the desires outcome.

Try it out!!! Call your inner circle, your personal auto-bots and ask them to roll out because you are in danger. With the right information and instruction, your team will transform and fight with you for that win.
