I want to share with you a concept that my husband Colin and I learned in a relationship course. It’s called the Space Between. It’s the energetic Space Between two people, or between a group or a team, where the relationship exists. It’s also the place where everything happens – your children grow up here, your team works here – and if it’s polluted, it’s just not a nice place to be. As parents, it’s a fairly easy concept to understand, especially when we think about our children living in this space. We want it to be clean and loving. The concept works just as well in the workplace, between and among employees and teams. When the space between is free of anger, resentment and misunderstanding, it’s much easier to get things done, and enjoy ourselves in the process. Honoring the Space Between requires cleaning up misunderstandings when they happen, and not letting negativity linger.
