When Does 1+1=3?
“The more that we implement the values that we learn from John Maxwell in our family, the more clearly we live a life of significance.”
– Kaelyn & Scott Benham, certified John Maxwell Team Coaches, Speakers & Teachers
Have you ever thought about what direction you’re actually headed in? Most people don’t know, or at best have a vague understanding of a “someday” goal. Someday I’ll be happy, someday I’ll open that business. Someday I’ll be the person I want to be. But someday never comes. The only way to really make your dream come true is to take action each day, and no one knows that better than certified John Maxwell Team members Kaelyn and Scott Benham.
Kaelyn learned about the Team back in 2012, when she attended John’s “A Day About Books” with a friend. They were both inspired by what they learned there, and decided to get Maxwell Certified when they were sponsored by someone at their church. Four years later, Kaelyn brought her husband Scott onto the team and both agree, it was one of the best decisions they ever made together.
“The past five months have been EXCITING!” said Kaelyn, when asked what the couple has been up to since Scott was certified in August 2016. “Literally a one-day-at-a-time adventure moving in the direction of our dreams and making them a reality! Having us both attend IMC has absolutely impacted our business and our life! We have now both been immersed in the culture of JMT and are operating out of that with our different strengths. It has grown our relationship and our business in so many impactful ways!”
For both Scott and Kaelyn, the Maxwell Method they have brought into their business has also had positive impact in their personal lives. “A turning point in my leadership was when I truly believed and operated from the belief that failure is a requirement to achieve the good that we desire in our business and lives,” said Scott. “Not being afraid to fail has allowed for a seismic shift in our perspective in all areas of our lives.”
Kaelyn agrees. “Absolutely. The more that we implement the values that we learn from John Maxwell in our family, the more clearly we live a life of significance. We are a family that loves growth and learning, and it is so amazing to see that as we grow, JMT DNA grows along within us.”
For folks just starting out, or new Team Members about to begin their own journey of growth, Kaelyn and Scott offer some advice. “Take one step of action at a time. Your journey will not look the same as anyone else’s, and the only way to go on the journey is to take action,” said the couple. “We highly recommend growing together as a couple. Personal growth is a powerful tool and growing together within a marriage or family creates the 1+1 = 3 impact. That can’t be duplicated on your own.”
