Sharpness…
This Proverb is a famous one and we can’t forget it – it will keep us growing and especially at work!!
“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” Proverbs 27:17
As women with influence (yes YOU are a leader because you have influence) we want to surround ourselves with coworkers that share new ideas and help us see things in many different ways. This is what blossoms relationship rapport, growth, and gives birth to new brilliant insights.
Honestly, it is not always easy to listen to new ideas that may cause a lot of change and will challenge us at times, but we need to leave our EGO’s in the car! I heard years ago that when we have an EGO it is “Edging God Out!” I have never forgot that.
As we listen, we need to be willing to have our thoughts challenge! As Rooted women we don’t want to attack or shut down the thinkers & collaborators – let them share and watch the sharpening begin within us both! It is a win – win for both parties!!
It is a true fact that we become friends with many people we work with, spending more time with them than our family and close friends most days! So try to keep this Proverb in the forefront of your mind and look at this collaboration with coworkers in 2023 through a new lens with God’s ways in mind…

We love God’s ways and His Word! 
Stay Rooted & always keep learning,
