On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about Teamwork with sales coach Jeff Bajorek, chef Katie Chin, and Jess Dewell of Red Direction. No matter what your project or business endeavor, having a team that leans into their strengths, while supporting each other and the big picture goals, is a recipe for success.

For Debra's latest book, "52 Secrets for Goal-Setting and Goal-Getting" (Mango, January 28), she interviewed achievers in business, tech, food, and entertainment - including Jeff, Katie, and Jess - to get their best tips for setting and achieving goals. This book is a wonderful example of teamwork in action.

The panel shares their definitions of teamwork, attributes of good team members and leaders, and more.

What is Teamwork?

- Jeff: Collaboration for a common goal

- Katie: Seeing the importance of your role within the team

- Jess: Whatever you are coming together to do: message, purpose

Goals

- Jeff: Be kinder to yourself

- Katie: Commit to self-care on a regular/daily basis

- Jess: Keep a love note file of nice things people have said to and about you, read it when you need a lift

Final Thoughts

- Jess: Recognize fatigue and deal with it when it happens

- Katie: If not now, then when? Just do it

- Jeff: Be grateful, go hug somebody
