In our professional journeys, we often arrive at similar crossroads. The choice isn't just about which path is easier or more comfortable, but which one aligns best with our long-term vision and personal growth. 🛤️ Choosing a path in mountain biking, like in a career, isn't about predicting the outcome but about preparing to adapt to the challenges it brings. It’s about the resilience and readiness to turn obstacles into opportunities. 🚵♂️ Happy Monday! 👋 __________ #CareerDevelopment #CareerChange #DecisionMaking #ProfessionalGrowth #MountainBiking #Careers #Motivation #OutdoorAdventures #Pathways #LifeDecisions #Resilience #TrailRiding #AdventureSeekers #PersonalDevelopment #ChallengeYourself #MindfulChoices #CareerPaths #Inspiration #CareerTransition #EnjoyTheRide

3 Life Lessons HIKING teaches me. 1. Focus on the bigger picture. There is no satisfying feeling than the moment you make it to the top of the mountain, with the most refreshing breeze of air flowing on your face. And then when you take a step back, you will see the bigger picture - you will realize all the small tree and rock and even the longest lake or the powerful waterfall down there - they are only a part of the whole picture. All your mistakes, failures, setbacks in life do not matter as much as you think they are - they are only a part of your journey, 2. You climb to the top not to look down on people, but to INSPIRE them. Too often people forget that the reason we climb the corporate ladder or make it to the top is to motivate other people that THEY CAN DO IT. Always be the true leader, the one who influence others, that when people look at you they say, “Because of her, I refuse to give up.” - That’s the best feeling in winning in life. 3. The journey matters - the memories you make climbing to the top are priceless. Have you ever climbed with your friends and their dogs? All the stops you make along the way to rest, to give the dogs some treats and waters, it makes the journey longer, but much more memorable. Remember to slow down and make genuine friendships with people around you, people who are there when you are climbing, those who believe in you, those who support you, or those who just happen to cross your path. They matter - the memories matter. Because one day, you will realize that memories are the only things you take with you when you leave the earth. Make them, make a lot of them. Say hi to people. Comment on their post. Show them a little support, show them kindness. And in case they forget, remind them again. Ask yourself this question: What is the thing that brings out the inner child in you? #kidatheart #hiking #nature #motivation #Sunday #tracyytly Tracy L.

Hiking the #IncaTrail to #MachuPicchu is an experience that teaches us valuable #lessonslearned. Reflecting on this amazing adventure, it's clear that the #resilience we develop on the trail can be applied in both our #personal and #professional lives. From 35+ miles of hiking to steep elevation changes and reaching a peak elevation of 13,766ft, this journey is not for the faint of heart. Here are some #lessons that we can all take away from this incredible journey: 🚶🏽♀️ Put one foot in front of the other. When things get tough, take a deep breath, reset, and keep moving forward. 🚫 - There are no shortcuts to success. Accomplishment comes from taking every step, no matter how difficult. 🏋🏽♀️ - Recognize the strength in others who help carry our weight. 💪🏽 - Everyone has their own set of strengths and weaknesses. Embrace your differences and use them to your advantage. 🆘 - It's okay to ask for help. We all need a little assistance on our journey. 🙏🏽 - Saying "thank you" goes a long way. Show gratitude to those who have helped you along the way. 🤲🏽 - Teamwork truly makes the dream work. Remember, the journey is the destination. Make sure to take pride in the journey you take in life, both personally and professionally. #motivation #inspiration #teamwork

Hiking! “What’s this got to do with LinkedIn?” Wait. Let me land! Hiking isn’t just about conquering trails and enjoying the great outdoors! It’s about discipline, perseverance, and pushing boundaries. Trust me. I went on an 7.5hr hike and it definitely pushed me to the edge😭. Every step on a challenging hike teaches resilience, problem-solving (picking the rocky/muddy patch), and the importance of preparation, just like every step in our careers and in business. Whether you're navigating a steep incline or a complex project, the principles remain the same: stay focused, stay prepared, and never give up. I know it sounds corny but it’s the truth. So, next time you hit the trail, remember that the skills you’re honing are directly applicable to your personal and business life. Keep climbing, even if your right knee is injured like mine!

When I said 'Yes' to climbing #MountKilimanjaro with my husband, little did I know that this small decision would redefine the trajectory of my life. This was about embracing a shift leading me to the summits of the world's highest peaks, including #Everest. That decision started with the seemingly simple act of joining a gym, an endeavor that marked my first serious step into #mountaineering. With each training session, my commitment deepened, and what began as a personal challenge blossomed into a passionate pursuit of climbing that transformed my physical capabilities and perspective on life. This journey taught me that the smallest decisions could have the most significant impacts. It showed me that with #passion and #perseverance, seemingly ordinary choices could lead to extraordinary adventures. This was more than just physical ascents; it was about climbing above doubts and fears, about reaching new heights in personal growth and understanding. I share this story and others in my book, #ReachingForTheSky, to illustrate that with the right mindset, anything is possible. Each one of us has the potential to turn simple decisions into life-changing experiences. Let my journey inspire you to take that first small step towards your monumental outcomes. #flyingtoclimbingeverest #oldestindianwomaneverester #mountaineering #ageisnobarrier #careergrowth #careertrajectory #personalgrowth #breakingbarriers #breakingstereotypes #professionaljourney #aspiration

🌟 Embrace the Incremental Approach: Just Like Hiking a Trail! 🌟 Imagine embarking on a hiking adventure. 🥾 Each step forward brings you closer to your destination, but it's not just about reaching the summit—it's about the journey itself. 🏔️ In the same way, our professional journey mirrors this incremental progress. 🚶♂️ Every task completed, every obstacle overcome, is like navigating a new bend in the trail. Each experience teaches us something valuable, just as every step on the hike offers a chance to appreciate nature and learn about ourselves. 🌿 Whether it's mastering a new skill or tackling a challenging project, every small victory contributes to our overall growth. 🌱 Just like how each uphill climb strengthens our muscles, each professional challenge sharpens our abilities and expands our knowledge base. 💼 So let's embrace the journey, relish the lessons along the way, and remember that every step forward, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goals. 🌟 #EmbraceTheProcess #ProfessionalJourney #ContinuousGrowth

Motivation drives us to achieve our goals and overcome challenges in life. However, staying motivated can be challenging, especially when facing difficult situations. To overcome these challenges, it's essential to maintain a positive attitude and focus on our strengths. We can also seek inspiration from others who have faced similar challenges and succeeded. Setting realistic goals and breaking them into manageable tasks can help us stay motivated and track our progress. Above all, we must remember that setbacks and failures are a natural part of the journey, and we should view them as opportunities to learn and grow. We can succeed and accomplish our goals by staying committed and persevering through adversity.

Third 10k for me for this year, first half marathon for my daughter, and both of us 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐟𝐮𝐥 to be stronger today than yesterday. "𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲" is my flexible (therefore practical) fitness goal that enables me to 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. With a flexible approach, I stay on track toward my annual goal (this year an advanced hiking trip to Yosemite). 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 in my approach (spin class, local hikes, races, and heat walks) which also 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 my 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. However, my flexibility has 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 so as much as possible, I stick to my scheduled spin classes and schedule my races in advance, then pepper in local hikes and heat walks as time allows. So flexible goals with parameters 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝. It seems to work the same with business goals. This HBR article by @stevewmartin and @helenmankin provides an excellent overview of flexibility in goal setting, why it works, and when it works best: https://lnkd.in/gYdYEuPN "In situations where the goal that is being pursued is a relatively simple one, and the motivation to achieve that goal is quite strong, this research suggests that taking a flexible rather than fixed approach to the steps required to achieve the goal typically works best. However, in situations where the change required is quite hard, or if a leader believes that the motivation levels in her team might be low, creating a rigid sequence and structure should be more effective." "The next time you set a goal for yourself, or your team, think about whether you’re looking for buy-in or follow-through, and set a path to success accordingly."
