  • Who do you bring to work?

Do we need to bring our “A+” game every day? Is a B or B+ Ok?

What can we learn about sports cross-training in the workplace?

Recently, I have been thinking about the training program as a gymnast at University of

Minnesota.

We never tumbled and vaulted on the same day.

One day we would need to stick 3 routines and two days later, 6 routines. The day in

between was a lighter load or cross training.

We trained for consistency, recovery, and longevity.

When it was game time, we were ready, and pulled out the A+ on the competition floor,

when it mattered most.

** Important sidenote:  look at what this incredible team of athletes accomplished as the underdog last season.  

Why should work be any different?

Does delivering consistent, thoughtful, B, B+, or “cross training” overtime drive long-

term impact?

I think it allows us to think, prioritize and be human.

Like an athlete, it allows us to recover and recharge.

Bringing a B+ to work regularly may allow us to deliver A+ when it matters.

Who agrees that “cross training” or delivering a consistent B+ is the key to long term impact? Does cross training enable us to bring the A+ to work when it counts?

The Story Behind the Logo

I’m so glad you clicked on the logo. It tells a story, and it’s one I’m pretty passionate about. I’m a big believer in being grounded in the Earth while staying connected to something bigger than ourselves. I believe we are each part of something greater, and that every one of us carries our own unique gifts, strengths, and special magic.
That belief is at the heart of this logo. Look closely and you’ll see roots grounding to the Earth. They represent where we begin: grounded, connected, and rooted in who we are. And at the center, you’ll find a compass. Because I believe we each have an internal compass. It points toward who we are, what matters to us, and where we want to go. And inside that compass is gold. That gold represents the special magic I believe every one of us carries within.
Sometimes we know exactly what our gold is. Sometimes the demands of work and life, the expectations we carry, and the pressure-filled worlds we navigate can slowly pull us away from it. My coaching is about helping people find that gold again, understand it, and put it to work. Because finding your gold is only the beginning. As we reconnect with ourselves, we grow, stretch, and evolve. New possibilities emerge. Stay grounded. Find your compass. Discover your gold. Let yourself grow. Embrace what makes you unique. And remember that you are part of something bigger. That is the spirit behind Compass Within Collective.
