Hi, this is Keith Renninson “The Tenacity Expert”
professional speaker & author of the award-winning book “Tenacity, You Don’t Have to Get Lost in Nepal to Find Yourself, But it Helps!” here with my next installment of my TRIP Tips for the financial services professional.
Remember that TRIP is an acronym for TENACITY, RESILIENCE, IMAGINATION, AND PURPOSE. So, let’s get started!
What is the bounce and how do you use it?
Let’s say your energy is at an all time low, you just lost a big case to a competitor and you want to re-energize yourself and your team. The metaphorical “bounce” is something you use to get everyone on-board to move forward once again. You could have a contest with other planners to boost sales and moral. You might plan to have a BBQ to celebrate a new beginning, a new action plan, a new idea, or a new purpose. Use this time to announce them and use the bounce to stir everyone to forge ahead, be resilient and excited once again. Get creative with a brainstorming session to discuss new ideas for logos, marketing solutions or different product approaches. Or, build a list of referrals to approach with a new video email.
There is a hidden positive energy in the bounce. It's not always obvious, you have to find it within yourself first and then your team. Be enthusiastic and make it fun! Encourage everyone with your leadership skills & high creative energy. Use your communication expertise to give hope to the troops after a hard fall. Be confident that success is just around the corner. Use the tried and true American ingenuity to bounce in the right direction and take action right away.
Resilience like Tenacity is a muscle that needs to be exercised to get stronger and more effective. Like the old adage says: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again!"
Never give up!
Well, that’s it for this installment, I hope you have some new ideas on how to proceed.
Remember to take a TRIP for a lifetime, not a trip of a lifetime.
See you next time, and in the meantime be resilient!

Keith Renninson's Tenacity Blog
This is the second in a series of four on team building with TRIP. Remember, in my last blog I shared that it would be performed in reverse with “purpose” first and now we will implement the “imagination” section.
Imagination is probably the most fun of the character traits of TRIP. I love it because I can immerse myself in creativity and play!
How can TRIP help with team building you ask? By using it backwards! Huh? Yup, we will start with “Purpose” instead of Tenacity. The series will move from purpose to imagination, to resilience, and lastly to tenacity. When you look at TRIP from this reverse perspective it becomes clear that it flows naturally in team building and task completion. As with any project you must know your purpose first, so that’s where we will start.
