🏅 Athletes, your career network needs training too.

As athletes we are uniquely positioned to stretch our skills beyond training and racing, and into our career journeys to build a modern professional network.

Just like racing, success in building a professional network doesn’t happen by accident. It’s a blend of preparation, ex*****on, and embracing the process. 🏋️‍♀️

Cracked out the red happy pants to celebrate the close of the year.

👏And we’re on our way!

Progress ebbs and flows (just like we teach in our coaching) and overall we’re heading in the right direction. 📈

2025 will see me out and about more with groups, clubs and 1:1s. I’m also adding more partnerships and thoughtful collaborations; we can have more impact together.

🚴 What can a bike ride teach you about career growth? Quite a lot!

As athletes, we know the power of shifting gears—whether it’s powering through a tough climb, enjoying the speed of a downhill, or coasting and enjoying the ride. No surprise, these same energy outputs can also help you navigate the ups and downs of your professional life - and who’s kidding, life in general.

In the latest blog post, I dive into how cycling taught me to (eat a lot of humble pie, but also):

�➡ Adjust to career challenges like gearing down to tackle a climb
�➡ Build momentum to propel yourself forward when it counts
�➡ Avoid burnout by "shifting down" when needed
