In this special client feature, Jess speaks with Interview Connections client Thais Gibson: author, speaker and co-creator of the Personal Development School. Thais is extremely passionate about personal growth, the subconscious mind and connecting with others. With an MA and over 13 different certifications ranging from CBT to hypnosis, Thais strives to continuously learn and grow. 

Thais is best known for her contributing work and research on Attachment Theory and the impact of attachment trauma on our adult romantic relationships. She overlaps attachment trauma challenges with personal core wounds, limiting beliefs and emotional patterns at the subconscious level to give us deeper insight into ourselves and our relationships. 

In this episode, Thais explains what exactly attachment trauma is, and how recognizing that trauma is the key to moving forward. She tells us that there is a way to “hack the system” and develop an understanding and awareness of the traumas in our lives. When we are experiencing emotion from a situation, we can ask ourselves, “What meaning was I giving to that situation?” and then question that meaning. Thais explains that self- sabotaging activity is communicating to ourselves what needs we have, and we need to listen to our emotions and extract those needs. Your subconscious mind is trying to serve you, but it doesn’t have your conscious mind on board to create better strategies!

Today, Jess and Margy discuss how they built a great company culture at Interview Connections. Just like finding your ideal client, when creating company culture, you need team members who fit your ideal psychographics. Being in alignment with your values is a huge part of creating a strong company culture! While skills, education, and work experience are very relevant factors to consider, ensuring that the candidate is aligned with your values is incredibly important.

An important question to ask is,  “What unites me and my team members?” At Interview Connections, animal rescue is so important to every team member and that passion unites every employee in a unique way. It can take a lot of time to get clarity on your company culture and who is right fit for you. A great first step is to create core company values, so you can get crystal clear on what kind of culture you want to create!

Being a great leader and building a great team takes a lot of practice and time. It’s crucial to remember that everything is a mirror: if your team is not succeeding, it means you are not succeeding. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but ultimately this will help you build a thriving team and a company culture that attracts the right people for you and your business!
