“I also learned to never think that I had finally arrived. This is something I teach my team. If you think you’ve arrived, you’re in a danger zone!” Kimberly knows that challenges will always arise—but, as hard as they are to get through, they will always provide some of her most profound learning opportunities. “On our team we’ve had our share of struggles,” she laughs. “There have been times that have been very hard on me emotionally, times when I found myself just asking why—why, why, why ? “But after getting myself out of many tough spots, I’ve come to realize that I had to go through those hard times just so I could be a better leader. Now when I see a team member going through the same thing I once went through, I’m able to coach them through it. I can help them avoid the mistakes I made and duplicate what I did right. I can empathize with them. I’m more patient with them. Above all, I keep believing in them until they’re ready to start believing in themselves again.” Each member of Kimberly’s team has set 12 “power goals” for 2023. Those goals run the gamut from business to personal. No matter what kinds of goals have been set, the team members support each other with accountability, encouragement, and plenty of celebration. The rewards for reaching those goals, though, have been carefully chosen together with their families. That helps make spouses and children an important part of the goal-setting and goal-achieving process. One of Kimberly’s goals for 2022 was to advance to Corporate Director 5 before the end of December 2022. She achieved that goal. As a reward, the McCauleys are traveling to Hawaii to scatter Kimberly’s father’s ashes there. “The goal was super special to me,” Kimberly says, “so the reward was super special too.” The hard work of building a better future has to get done daily. At the McCauley home, everyone is working together. Having a chicken coop to clean may not seem like much of a legacy to the kids as they unlatch the gate and duck inside. But, watching the operation from the kitchen window, Kimberly and Art see nothing but the possibilities. JC
important lessons we’ve taught them are that everything of value takes hard work and that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to.” Kimberly had to discover what she was capable of accomplishing as she began to build her Melaleuca business. She was a stay-at- home mom with little business experience. Having grown up in the home of a single father who held down three jobs to support his family, Kimberly once expected nothing more from her own life. But finding Melaleuca allowed her to discover what she was really made of. “Melaleuca has provided growth for me in every area,” Kimberly says. “I’ve had to learn to work with people. I’ve had to get myself through the tough times. Not once did I dream I’d be in the place I am today. But when I found Melaleuca, I found something in myself. I found I really love people. I love to see them win. I love to team up with someone and watch them change their life. “With Melaleuca, I learned that I could become a leader—but also that becoming a leader is a lifelong process,” Kimberly continues. “I look back at the leader I was even one year ago, and I see a different person! That’s because I’m trying to improve every day. One of the most important habits of a leader is to look back and think about what you could have done better. Ask yourself how you could have connected better with someone on your team, and then work on doing it better the next day.
