Beautifully written and hard-hitting. Organizations that prioritize truly knowing and connecting with their people are better able to recover from unexpected situations and tackle greater challeneges. It doesn't matter if you are a coach to professional swimmers or you are a leader in the tech industry, to do what is best for your people [and ultimately, business] will always start with deep connections, care, and respect. What's been your experience with deep connection (or lack thereof) in the workplace? Let's connect and discuss! #leadership #connection #companyculture

Exciting update: Celebrating Anita Alvarez who is now an Olympic silver medalist alongside her Team USA in the artistic swimming competition. More incredible, the victory marks the first time the United States has medaled in the event since 2004. The idiom "get back on the horse", or in this case, get back in the pool, delivered an exceptional result, reminding us all to keep fighting for our dreams!🏆 At the World Aquatics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Anita Alvarez, the two-time Olympian finished her free solo routine, passed out, and sunk to the bottom of the pool. Looking across the pool, her coach, Andrea Fuentes, noticed she was under too long and without hestitation jumped in fully clothed pulling her up to safety. Anita was fully unconscious and had no way to kick to the surface and save herself. And if her coach hadn’t known her as well as she did, she certainly would have drowned. When I saw this story, I asked myself: When you are under too long, who are the people who will pull you to the surface when you lose your strength? Are you surrounding yourself with those who pay attention and put others first? Do you lead by example? And can someone count on you to provide that needed strength when they don’t have it? Jim Rohn’s famous quote “You Are The Average Of The 5 People You Spend The Most Time With”, is not just in your personal life, it is all encompassing. If you’re a leader, hire people who emulate the traits you respect and can do the same for others on the team. Choose an employer that stands for something important to you. We have choices, lead and live by example.
