Interview with Teri:

Have you ever looked back at your last 5, 10, or 15 years and realized your life looked exactly like you expected?

Most of us would say “Of Course Not!”

In today’s episode, Jessica interviews Teri Johnson, the founder of Keeping It Personal, as she recounts how God has used her past experiences, her gifts and talents to help her start Keeping It Personal. Even jobs that feel pointless or small can be a stepping stone to something else. Ter was the mail girl but was also able to deliver mail to the CEO. She did the job of delivering mail with excellence and made everyone including the President and CEO feel known and important just by showing up consistently and asking how their day was going. Teri says “Bloom where you’re planted.” Show up. Be intentional. Love people well and do your work with excellence. God has you at this job, at this school, in this community right now for a purpose.

One of the ways you “bloom where you’re planted” is as ask a question that Teri asks every Wednesday in her Refine community, “How can I bless your socks off in the next 30, 60, 90 days?” It is the heart of service. What can I do to put a smile on your face or connect you with someone. Business is all about solving a problem for your customers and having a heart to serve them well. When we truly show up to serve and be a blessing with no expectations or strings attached we cast those ripples of hope and light.
