I love to educate and motivate people to become healthier versions of themselves. This is the reason why I joined the fitness industry, and why I am passionate about industry growth.My focus for the past seven years has been on growing business for a regional chain of fitness clubs while also teaching classes and working with personal-training clients. I have drawn on my years of business experience in the restaurant and retail pharmacy sectors to sharpen sales techniques and streamline resource management.The clubs I have managed have been consistently growing, despite setbacks during COVID-19, because of my focus on customer service and employee development.MY TOP VALUES✦Connection: I am right beside my fitness clients rooting for them as they make progress. I’m also there helping them regain their motivation when they lose focus and start feeling defeated.✦Personal Growth: I am always looking for ways to improve myself. This is why I have taken time to earn my fitness and health safety certifications and learn as much as I can about our business model, the market, and the priorities of the industry.✦Inclusion: I believe in the power of teams. As a team leader, I share my thoughts, but then ask for input, valuing the collaborative spirit of sharing wisdom to help us improve our processes.✦Integrity: This means truly caring about helping clients meet their goals. It also means staying true to the brand I am representing, knowing its values and infusing them into my work.I have a favorite quote by American gold-medal speed skater Bonnie Blair that I have often revisited: “Winning doesn't always mean being first. Winning means you're doing better than you've ever done before.” Improvement always matters and striving every day to reach new goals is what keeps me in a growth mindset.I would be delighted to talk with you about roles in Operations and Management, Wellness, Health Education, Program Development, Coaching, Training and Development, Personnel Management, and Performance Management
