Cycle Sisters’ Post

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my friends, family, and sponsors who've helped me navigate the lifelong journey of sobriety. Since 2015, I have strived to live a life free from drugs and alcohol. I know first-hand how difficult it is for you to maintain sobriety every day, but I also know first-hand how beautiful life can be on the other side. That's why I include stories from real people like Leon in my work. His Employee Testimonial is a reminder that consumers are interested in more than how your product addresses their pain points. Consumers want to see your business taking a stance on the issues that matter. Consumers want to see proud, hard-working employees receiving their flowers. In this clip, watch how Leon rose up from a violent upbringing, found a way out through supportive sponsors, and became a vital member of a fast-growing startup, Oonee! This Thanksgiving, be thankful for those who want to see you rise, and got your back while you prepare for takeoff! 🚀 #thursdaythoughts #thanksgiving #leadership #mentorship #recovery #entrepreneurship #recidivism

This one's a bit of a stretch. The Paris Olympics brings us Race Walking this morning. An event that requires people to race against eachother in a way that is not the fastest or most effective way: A 10k Race Walk takes roughly 12 minutes longer than running it. Same with Swimming. It's just slower to do Butterfly, Backstroke or Breaststroke. So what's the point? Well, it's a question of #culture. Race Walking is what the people who do it love. They like to race that way so they've developed the very best way of doing it that way. "It's the way things are done around there." There may be more efficient or faster ways to do it but the cultural landscape dictates a certain way of doing things. At Take Your Marks Consulting we are sensitive to the prevailing culture. Most Race Walkers have spent decades becoming unbelievable Race Walkers. It can be catastrophic if we try to make them runners. [email protected]

THE SMALL DIFFERENCES MAKE THE BIG DIFFERENCE. This is the theory of marginal gains. The principle being that if you break down tasks into single steps and then improve them by 1% then you will get a significant improvement when you put them altogether. Made popular by Chris Brailsford, the performance director of British Cycling. The team won 60% of the medals at the Beijing Olympics and dominated the London Olympics and won the Tour De France 5 years out of 6. Can you apply this to your business? Small improvements compound to produce results greater then the sum of their parts. #leicester #accountants #marginalgains

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 💥 Thijs Zonneveld experienced this firsthand with a significant setback during last year’s Unbound event, which sidelined him from cycling for a considerable period 🤕. Recognizing the need for recovery, Thijs took a strategic step back. And started using the structured and adaptive guidance of the JOIN Cycling app to embarked on a journey of rehabilitation and improvement 📈. Today, Thijs returns to Emporia, Kansas, USA, stronger and more determined than ever. Ready to race!💪🏼 #Unbound #comebackstronger IFS Ultimo IFS

Getting 1% better every day means making tiny improvements regularly. Dave Brailsford, coach of the British cycling team, called this idea "marginal gains." By improving small things like bike seats and nutrition by 1%, the team had the most successful run in cycling history. Focus on small, consistent changes in your daily routine, and over time, these will add up to significant improvements.

Initial research by Cycling Citizens MK suggests only 23% of cycle journeys in Milton Keynes are by women.  Volunteer researchers simply counted cyclists using redways in the last 10 days of January and found 131 male and 32 female. Recent UK-wide research by Lime shows only 19% of female cyclists feel sale riding alone at night and 91% face barriers to cycling.  “It’s a justice issue,” says Jane Whild of Voices of Women in MK. “Women’s equal access to cycling must be designed into City plans.  To make progress, we must understand the barriers.” In partnership with Milton Keynes City Council, Jane has created a 3-minute online survey to do this, https://lnkd.in/eWST2cZG, and wants at least 1,000 MK residents, female and male, to complete it. Please do.
