Jill O'Boyle (00:10.85)
Hey friends, welcome back to Your Life, Your Story, Rise Up podcast. I'm your host, Jill O'Boyle. If you are new here, welcome. Or if you have been a regular follower of the show for quite some time, thank you, thank you for continuing to show up. Your support is truly appreciated. So today we're gonna dive into our last pillar on a mini series I'm hosting on workplace happiness. We've completed the first

four pillars, if you've missed those, I would encourage you to go back and give them a listen. As a quick recap, we've unpacked the following pillars to obtain true workplace happiness, right? So this was a series, an episode that I did with Melissa St. John. She talked about these five pillars and I thought, is so good, we need to break these down. And so that's what we've been doing. The last couple.

episodes have been breaking down these pillars on how do we find true workplace happiness. This all stem from a quote that she shared with me that 75 % of the workplace is disengaged. I was like, that is crazy to me. 75 % of the workplace isn't disengaged. And so we started talking about what are these pillars to start getting more engagement in your work?

How do we bring happiness into your workplace? And so it's been really fun to just kind of take these five pillars and dissect it into some things that you can start to apply to your day-to-day work and not just work, just life in general, right? So we've unpacked pillar number one and number two. That episode, we talked about unleashing your strengths and how do we blend those with your passion? So we gotta know your strengths in your work to truly find joy and happiness.

So that was pillar number one, pillar number two. Pillar number three was who you work with and why your circle shapes your success and happiness. And then this last episode was on pillar number four and we broke down embracing adversity. Yes, we can have adversity and happiness in the same place, right? So how do we choose joy in our life when just everything feels hard? So if you missed that last episode,

Jill O'Boyle (02:34.935)
highly encourage you to go listen to that, especially this time of year, right? We're getting ready to end a whole year. Some of you have just been trying to push through the deadlines. Everything just feels hard. So how do we choose joy in those tough, hard seasons? The holidays are approaching. That can be both joyful, but it also can carry a different weight as well when some of our loved ones are not here and what have you.

That's where we're at today. So that brings us today to pillar number five. And honestly, this one might be the most transformational of them all for me. And that is build your race team. So if you've ever tried to navigate burnout alone, maybe you've tried to manage stress alone, you've made decisions alone, you carry heartbreak alone, like,

You know how heavy that can feel without people around you, right? We are not to do life alone. And so your race team is this group of people that's going to pump your tires, right? They're going to put air in your tires when you're, when you're really feeling low in life, right? They're going to hand you that water mid race. They're going to wipe off your windshields. They're going to say, Hey, you've got this. Keep going. Right? They're the people that you need around you.

to just keep encouraging you, growing you, helping you, and honestly, you don't need many, you just need the right ones. So we're gonna dive in today and we're gonna unpack what does research say about this? What does research say about the power of relationships in our work? What does scripture teach us about surrounding ourselves with the right people? And a simple framework from Jenny Allen.

one of my favorite authors about the five types of friends every person needs. So if this is the first time you are here landing on this podcast, or if you are a regular follower to this show, I am so glad that you showed up today because I believe this episode is going to encourage you. It's going to equip you and it's going to remind you that you were never meant to run this race alone. And so

Jill O'Boyle (05:00.213)
Let's dive in. Let's talk about when I first had this episode with my guest, Melissa St. John on Workplace Happiness. She talked about this idea that if we are going to have happiness in the workplace, we must have a race team. So she's the one that kind of termed the term of basically a race team. And she identified her team as the dream big group, right? So there was a season in her life.

where she had her race team and it was called Dream Big Group. And basically it was four women who met regularly every month for four years. And she said they were literally her oxygen, her therapist, her accountability, her cheerleaders. Four women who truly fueled her, kept her moving on this race of life, right?

So let me ask you, as you think about that, as you hear me describe that, who are those women for you? Like who is your race team?

And if you don't know, I wanna encourage you right now to make this a mission of yours to find them. And when you find them, don't leave them. Don't leave them. Keep building those relationships. Relationships are hard. And I think sometimes in our world, we like to just quickly cancel out friends when they hurt us. But guess what? People are people. People are gonna hurt us.

but don't leave them. Find your friends, stick with them, don't leave them. One of Harvard's longest study on human happiness, this was an 85 year study, found that the single strongest predictor of a thriving life is the quality of your relationships. The quality of your relationship. Not income, not job title.

Jill O'Boyle (07:07.261)
not how many deadlines you hit, but relationships. So your race team is the relationships that you form on this earth. They are the ones that become one of the greatest contributions to your happiness. Is it basically what that Harvard study said? They become one of your greatest contributors to your happiness. So they help you endure stress.

They challenge your thinking. They lift your energy. They help you see possibility and keep moving. This is your race team.

So let's pause here for a minute and just really soak that in, really think about that. Because if you think about it, we spend probably an average, depending on your role, depending on your level of work, but roughly you're gonna spend at least 40 to 50 hours every week in your job or career, your workplace, if you're working full time.

And so you're spending about 40 to 50 hours every week in our workplace, in our job. And basically Harvard is telling us that the quality of our relationships are the strongest predictor of a thriving life. So I don't know about you, but that tells me we better enjoy the people we are working with, right? If we're spending this much time with them and relationships are the basically indicator of a

thriving life like we better figure out who we're working with and we better enjoy them and not just enjoy them, but we actually Should create meaningful connection with the people we work with

Jill O'Boyle (09:00.365)
like creating meaningful connection with that. Think about that for a minute. Like, do you have, when you think about the people that you surround yourself with daily in your work, in your life, like do you have true connection?

Think about in the term of the place that you work at. Do you have true connection in your workplace? So not the people that you're just passing in the hallway, like not the how's it going in the hallway, or not the polite water cooler chats, or those polite Teams chats, but honestly like real connection. Like the kind where you actually feel seen, the kind where you can.

Just breathe a little deeper. The kind where you're like not carrying everything alone. Not carrying everything on your shoulder. Like you actually have connection in your team and you're working together.

Jill O'Boyle (09:59.202)
Think about that for a minute and ask yourself.

Who do I feel safe with at work?

Like where am I still trying to do like everything on my own? I know there's people in my project management group and my control freaks that are probably trying to do everything on my own. It just feels so much easier to just do it on my own, Jill. I'll have to explain it. But there's people around that you should probably be releasing, delegating some of the things, right? So where do you feel safe in your work? Where are you still trying to do everything on your own?

And maybe think about like what role might you need to play to help someone else feel supported.

So just reflect on that for a minute and honestly like write those down and bring those to God and just let God just bring a name or a situation to mind. Because I think it's important to say that

Jill O'Boyle (11:04.907)
When I talk about building relationships at work, like when I say that, what I'm saying is I'm not talking about becoming best friends with everybody at work or oversharing every detail of your life, right? I'm not saying that at all. Like we can still have a professional relationship and true connection in the workplace. Like you can have a deep, meaningful, trust-filled connections in your workplace while remaining professional. You don't.

need to be inseparable with every colleague, you just need the right people that you can rely on, who's going to lift you up, who's going to challenge you, who's going to help you grow.

Jill O'Boyle (11:47.532)
and how you create those type of relationships are honestly gonna be built on two essential things and that is this true connection and trust. Right, you have to have connection and you have to have trust to build relationships. And so connection meaning like feeling seen, like understood, like safe to communicate with this person.

And then trust, meaning like knowing that the people that you're going to talk to, you're gonna connect with, are gonna follow through, right? You have a mutual respect and trust. They respect your boundaries, they follow through with things, they show up consistently. So you need these two essential things to build this relationship, trust and connection. And I tell you when both of these are...

I guarantee you that your workplace relationships will just actually make your work easier. When you walking into work and you know the people that you're showing up with, you trust them, you're connected with them both personally and professionally, you're gonna leave work feeling more joyful. You're gonna have more happiness, right? Which is what we're talking about today.

in your workplace. It's going to be more enjoyable. It's going to be more effective. So as I was thinking about this and as we were talking about it on the original podcast, it brought to mind a tool that I absolutely love and that is called the working genius. This is one of my favorite frameworks to help teams understand like their unique gifts and talents that each person

brings to that team and brings into the room. And so I love using this assessment in my coaching programs and corporate workshops I facilitate because it just brings so much clarity to teams and departments when they use it. So what is this? This is called the working genius. It identifies six types of genius zones. Usually every individual that

Jill O'Boyle (14:05.515)
takes an assessment is gonna have two genius zones, right? And those six types are wonder, invention, discernment, galvanizing, enablement, and tenacity. And each one of these contributes to your organization in a different way. And so I love when I can bring a working genius workshop to an organization and department and watch as they start to

uncover their own working genius gifts that they have and watching as just the room has these aha moments, right? They begin to understand their team a little bit more. They're like, that's why you do that. Okay. That makes sense. Right? So they're starting to understand their team differences. And as they do that and as they become more familiar with their team and how each team member is wired,

they automatically, they start to begin to not take things so personally. Like, okay, that's why you do that. That's why I do this. That's how I'm wired. this might be where I should delegate because you'd really thrive in this, where that actually frustrates me. So they stop taking things personally. You stop expecting everyone to work the way that you work. We're all built differently, so we work differently. You also start seeing each person's contribution as

Unique gift you're able to see them as like that is why they are so good at that like that is their gifting That is why they thrive when I give them this assignment, right? So let me give you some examples. Have you ever worked with someone that just like Always asked like a ton of questions, right? Like the one when you're in the meeting and your boss is like any okay before we leave does anybody have any questions?

and immediately your eyes go to the end of the table because you know Bobby down there is gonna raise his hand and he's gonna keep you another 15 minutes longer than you have to be there because you know he always has questions, always has questions. I I bet if you're thinking about somebody right now, you're like, yeah, I know, I know that person. But as you think about that, let me just, we gotta give Bobby some slack, right? We gotta give this person some slack because honestly, people like Bobby.

Jill O'Boyle (16:30.081)
they most likely have the genius of wonder. So whether you like it or not, they are usually helping the team pause, stop, and see what others like you might be missing, right? So they have this gift of thinking through different ideas and creative ways of seeing things that we just don't have, right? So we want, we gotta value that, even if it's gonna keep us, you know, 15 more minutes.

later than we wanted to, Okay, what's another example? Let's think about like that fast moving action oriented colleague of yours, right? They're the ones that they just know how to get things done. They know how to move things forward. They know the right resources to collaborate with. Like they're like, I got it. I know exactly who I'm going to call this vendor, this, this, this, right? They have a gifting of what's called a galvanizer.

Right? They're able to just know how to bring the resources and everybody around to rally around a certain project, a goal and get it to the finish line. Right? That is a galvanizer. We love people like that on our team, don't we? Yes, we do. Or maybe that teammate that's absolutely not like that. Maybe they're a little less detail oriented. They would probably fall in the gifting or working genius of an inventor.

Right? They thrive on creating novel ideas, but they really need to rely on someone else with that genius zone of tenacity, right? That, that person that loves to cross off a good to-do list, you give them marching order, they're going to bring it full fledged along that finish line. They're going to make sure that everything gets done. We also love those people on our team. Yes, we do. So.

I say all that to say like, when you know how your team is wired and the unique gifts that they have, it's going to honestly build trust and connection and respect automatically. You're gonna be able to know them on a deeper level, which is gonna help you connect better with them. You're also gonna be able to trust them better because you know how their genius zone works, right?

Jill O'Boyle (18:54.857)
and how you can trust them with like, I can trust you with this because this is where you're gifted in and I'm gonna stay in my lane over here because this is where I'm gifted in. It's going to be so much more efficient when you know those areas of your team. So as you reflect on your workplace, your race team, I would suggest asking yourself three questions. So let's talk about that. Number one,

Who on your team brings a different genius than you? Who is that? What gift and genius zone do they have? Okay, number two, how can understanding that genius zone, that genius gift that they have help you trust them more? If you would know that genius zone, how would that help you trust them more?

And then the thirdly, how can you use your own genius gifting, your working genius, to support them in return?

So think about those three questions. If you've never done a working genius assessment, I'll include a link below to do a coaching working genius call with you. I promise it will change the way that you work. It will also change the way that you just naturally show up and have more joy in the work knowing exactly why this is effortless for me and this frustrates me. Where do I need to delegate and where do I need to stay?

locked in, right? So think about those three things. But I also want to bring this, as I always do, I want to go back to what's the research say about workplace happiness, but where's the truth? Where's the biblical truth? How is this backed up in scripture? And so I love to bring scripture in here because it just reinforces like the principles we've just talked about, like in a really powerful way. And if you think about it,

Jill O'Boyle (21:01.989)
One of the first things that Jesus did in his early, his earthly ministry was he appointed 12 disciples. Right? We can find this in Mark chapter 3 verse 14. He appointed 12 disciples. He surrounded himself with those disciples, right? He basically created his race team. What we would describe as his inner circle.

Right?

Jill O'Boyle (21:34.888)
even as he fully depended on the father, right? He fully depended on God and his father, but he fully also relied on human connection. Like he knew already, like we are not to do life alone. And so when Jesus faced his most difficult moments here on earth, he was usually most vulnerable

with his inner circle, people he was truly connected with and truly trusted. And he would often go to him, go to them and ask them to pray with him. He was full of wisdom, right? He knew that his wisdom and strength are found in community and the people that is around him that support him, that help carry the weight when life gets hard.

and he didn't isolate himself, right? And in the same, think we are to fall suit, right? Like, yes, we are to be wise and we are to go to solitude and stillness and prayer to connect with God, 100%. But we do not need to isolate ourselves from others. Like, we need community and Jesus modeled that perfectly with his 12 disciples.

So goes back to knowing who are the right people in your circle. We have to know who are right people are in our circle that we can trust and be connected with. So.

Let's talk about that inner circle, that race team. Who do you need on your race team to make it a fulfilling team?

Jill O'Boyle (23:31.992)
Well, Jenny Allen is a New York Times bestselling Christian author. She's a speaker. She's the founder of the if gathering. And a few months ago, I was listening to her on a podcast and she shared why we are just starving for friendship and what we need to do about it. And one of her biggest recommendations is we need to ensure that we have five types of friends.

Like we need five types of friends in our corner. And she went on to talk about why each of these five types matter. And so as we think about workplace happiness, as we think about relationships, as we think about building the right connection with friends, I thought this is really good stuff and it's definitely worth sharing because as many of you women know, our husbands are absolutely awesome.

Mine is amazing, but they cannot be everything to us at all times, right? Like we know this. They cannot be everything all the time. So we need to have five types of friends in our corner on our race team. So let's unpack these. What are the five friends that you need on your race team? All right, number one, you absolutely need the encourager. We all need to be encouraged, right?

So who's your encourager? It's the one that's going to pump your tires up, right? On your race team, pump your tires up when you're low, they're going to speak life over you. They're your motivator. They're your cheerleader. They're the ones that you go to when you're like, I just need that encourager. I need somebody to, to talk me off the shelf here, to pour life back into me, breathe on me a little bit, get me refocused. That is your encourager, right? We also need number two, you need a challenger.

Right? You need a challenger friend. That friend is the one that's going to tell you the truth. Even when you don't want to hear it. Right? They're going to tell you the truth. They're going to tell you the hard stuff. They're going to be able to widen your perspective a little bit. They're going to be able to sharpen you. They're going to challenge you to think a little bit differently. We need that. Right? I mean, we love, I love going to those friends that I'm like, I know they're going to have my back. Right?

Jill O'Boyle (25:58.402)
They're gonna have my back, they're gonna side with me. But we also need those ones that we can call to and be like, I need you to be honest with me and they're gonna challenge you. We need those friends. So the third friend, right? So number one is we need the encourager. Number two is the challenger. The third friend that we need in our corner on our race team is the counselor. All right? This is that friend that you're gonna go to for some advice. They give great advice, they probably have

the genius zone of discernment. That would be the counselor. They have a great gift of discernment. They'll give you advice. They're wise, they're grounded, they're steady, they're secure. Like this friend is the one that's gonna help you just kind of process out loud, reflect. They're gonna help you to grow and not stay stuck. They're going to give you sound advice. That is the counselor. And then number four,

Gotta love the fun friend. Got to love the fun friend. I hope I am a fun friend. I think I fall in this category, but I'm also probably an encourager. I do love to motivate. But the fun friend, right? We need that fun friend to keep us alive, to laugh. We need humor. We need laughter, right? So they're the light one. They're the laughter one. They're the ones that they're the life of the party. You want to have them at your party because they're going to be the one that's going to be social.

and mixing everybody and making sure everybody's having a good time, right? They're also that great friend that you want to call when you just have forgotten how to breathe. Like you're so drained in work. You're so drained in parenting. You're so drained in middle school. you know, like every life feels so crazy and you just need to have a little fun. They're always ready for a good time. You just call them up and they're like, yeah, tell me time, when, place, let's go.

Right? We got to have our fun friend. Okay. And then the last one, the fifth friend that you need is that practical helper. You know what that friend is, right? They're just so practical. Like they're just like the doer. They're like the meal dropper. They just like don't ask questions. They're just like, they can sense it in your tone. And they're like, I'm coming over right now. I'll be right there.

Jill O'Boyle (28:25.037)
Like you don't even have to ask them. just know. They're not going to ask you because you know you're going to say no. Us women are never want to ask for help. So the practical helper is like those friends that are just like. They're at your doorstep. They just they want to drive. They want to come in. They want to help. They're not going to take no for an answer. All right. So you got let's go back through those. You got your encourager. The challenger. The counselor.

the fun friend and the practical helper.

So who's your race team? Did you plug in a name for each of those?

If not, you need to, right? You need to hear me on this. Like make this an absolute mission of yours. Like you need your race team. You need all five of these types of friends around you because we are built to need people in our lives. We cannot do it all alone. I think many of us high achieving women, especially you, you think you can and what do you do?

you burn yourself out, right? Speaking from somebody who knows very well, someone who has learned over time that I have to ask for help. I have to be okay if something falls. It can't all be on me. If it is all on me, it is going to fall. It's going to drop. It's going to drop. So I need people in my life that I can count on, that I can go to. So how do we build a race team?

Jill O'Boyle (30:07.541)
If you're missing some names, that's the first step. Right? You have to identify who are your five people. Who fits that bill? Who is your encourager? Who is your challenger? Who is your fun friend? Who's your practical helper? Right? Who are these people? And if you're missing one of those, then I want you to pray for that friend. I want you to ask God to bring a name.

or bring that person into your life and fill that gap and make it whole. Make those five people your priority. Then what are we gonna do? Then we're gonna start to create a rhythm. Right, we're going to intentionally seek these friends, stay together, and figure out what works best for your group. Right, what works best for this friend group.

So that might be meeting weekly if you have that time. That might be every other week. That might be quarterly, right? But you just need to make it happen.

And y'all five don't need to be together at once. Like I'm talking about like reaching out, making sure that you're touching base. It's as small as a text of like, how's your day? Or it's as big as like the floor is dropping in my house and I need that practical helper and I'm gonna reach out and be like, the floor is dropping. And next thing you know, the knock is gonna come at the door because your floor is dropping and she knows she needs to be there, right? So you need to intentionally pursue your people. You need to commit to them.

And then most importantly, don't leave them. Commit to them and don't leave them. Because as I said before, we are human. We are people. We make mistakes. We fail. We don't do everything right at times, right? People hurt people. Like you gotta know that. Like we are living in a world and we're all imperfect.

Jill O'Boyle (32:23.807)
All of us. We're all imperfect, right? So doesn't that give you a little bit of a, okay. Yeah, she's not perfect. I'm not perfect. Like we're all imperfect. And so we're gonna make mistakes and we're gonna hurt each other, but don't leave them. Like reconcile. Like if they're a really true friend that you feel like fits that five types, like intentionally seek them and stay with them.

Because we need people in our lives and we need the right people in our lives. And if they are the right person in your life, do not leave them. Okay, so, third. So number one, you gotta figure out your people. Number two, you gotta create a rhythm. You gotta figure out how you're gonna intentionally stay together and make it work in this hustle, busy world. And then number three, be what you wanna receive.

Be what you want to receive. So sometimes we... Not sometimes. We're going to have a time come when we're going to need what we needed. Right? Right? So we need to be the helper. Sometimes we need to be the encourager. Like carry someone else's cross before you need them to carry yours because it's not if it will happen. It is when it happens. So it's going to come when you're going to be the encourager.

for somebody else and you're going to be encouraging through hard season in their life or situation and be that person for them because pretty soon you're going to need an encourager in your life to come and encourage you. Guaranteed. Right. We live in the we live here on earth. So as long as we're here on earth we're going to have seasons we're going to have storms we're going have trials and we're going to have things that are going to drop and we're going to need people around us to help us.

So it's not if it will happen, it's when it's gonna happen. And I hope that you have the right people in your circle when it happens, right? So we're not created to run this life alone. We have to have a race team. We have to have people on our team. We have to have the right people in our corner. We have to have our inner circle, right? Jesus taught us this.

Jill O'Boyle (34:44.972)
Read your Bible.

So ask yourself, who do I need? Who do I need? And then secondly, who needs me? Who needs me in their life right now? And don't say, nobody. Yes, they do. You have a genius gift. You have an amazing purpose that God's created you for. People need you.

So friends, the single strongest predictor of a thriving life is the quality of your relationships. So surround yourself with the right people and I promise you when you do, you won't just like survive the race like you're gonna be thriving in the race that God intended you to run. You're gonna be running it so well because you're gonna be running it with amazing people that have your back and are in your corner.

So if you are one of those people that are trying desperately to figure out your New Year's resolution.

that you probably won't commit to, but you're going to try to come up with it once again.

Jill O'Boyle (35:56.44)
Can I beg you to not even focus on that new year's resolution, the common ones, right? The weight loss goal, this diet, like do yourself a favor and make it a goal in 2026 to just find your people. Make that your new year's resolution.

Make it a goal of yours. Find your people. Don't go a whole nother year like doing life alone. Like make it a commitment to you and to God that you will build your race team in 2026. Like you're gonna invest in your people. You're gonna intentionally pursue them. You're gonna love them well. And then lastly, let them love you back. Let them love you.

You gotta have your people in your life. You gotta be connected.

and you gotta trust them. So if you are looking for a faith-filled group of women, I would love to honestly, personally invite you to join two of my community that I offer, two of my community groups, small groups. One of them is the 828 Retreat, and the other one is the Made for More group. So the 828 Retreat is a faith-based retreat for busy women that

Are looking to find connection and clarity and purpose and God's calling for your life. This retreat is typically hosted twice a year We actually have our next one coming up February 27th through 28th in Noblesville, Indiana So tickets are on sale right now. You can head to jillaboyle.com You can grab an early bird rate that is available through the end of December that is an amazing two-day retreat

February 27th to 28th, Noblesville, Indiana. Go to jillaboyle.com. also link that retreat registration link in the show notes as well. Second group, if you want to get plugged in and build community and have a faith-filled community in your circle, the Made For More group is an excellent one. Made For More is a free online Bible study small group designed to help women uncover

your God given purpose and live life intentionally. So this is usually offered a few times of a year that we actually do the study, but we have a Facebook group as well to just stay connected throughout the entire year. So we're finishing up our current study right now. We are in December right now at the time of this recording. So we're finishing up our study right now, but we'll most likely be opening another study in March of 2026. So.

If you would like to join or be included in the updates about when that next study is going to be launched, click on the link in the show notes below and it'll give you all the information about what the Made for More Viable study entails. It's free, it's eight weeks, super easy and honestly it's one of the most life-giving things that I do is able to just break down how God has uniquely gifted us.

with our people, with our places, with our passions, with our gifts. Like by the end of the Made for More Bible study, you will know yourself better than you've ever known yourself. And you'll be able to look and say, wow, all of these threads of my life were not accidental. Imagine that. They were all on purpose leading you to your purpose. So wonderful study if you are interested in learning more about

who you are, who God created you to be and the purpose that he has for your life, I would highly recommend either one of these made from our Bible study or the 828 retreat. It's exactly what both of these communities offer. So I cannot believe literally that we are wrapping up another year, like 2025 truly felt like a blimp. Like it went by so fast.
